Rain, rain go away! It's turning into such a blah week. It's actually not raining today...at least not yet, but our yard is a jungle. Oh well...hopefully next week will be a little nicer out so that the boys and I can venture outside a little more. The boys I think are in need of some fresh air. Normally when it is nice outside the boys get to go outside in the morning when we go to the Y and then again in the afternoon for a little while...until Matthias decides he wants to run into the street...that's usually our cue to head inside.

Things are going great with the boys though. I think Justus has just gone through a growth spurt because he seems a lot taller. We are going to try to buy him some pants for next winter at some garage sales, but I'm not even sure what size we should get him. I'm scared that 3T may be too small by winter. I think we actually have some 4T pants...somewhere, so I guess we will have to try them on him soon to see how they fit. Other than that Justus is doing great. Things have been going pretty smoothly since he has started being a better listener. He's not pushing as much...or really that often, and he will share when we ask him to. Not to say he doesn't still have his moments.

Matthias' two canine teeth finally popped through his gums this week. Now they just have to work the rest of the way out. I'm just glad that he only has two more teeth to cut before getting a little break...one canine and one molar. In other Matthias news...we have been noticing lately how many things Matthias picks up from Justus. He calls our cat "bees", he makes this funny noise when he wants a drink...kind of like he is sucking a straw, when he wants a bite he gets in your face and pants...the list goes on. It's just so funny how he has started copying Justus though. One thing Matthias has also started doing is throwing fits when he gets frustrated or doesn't get his way. I guess it's a sign that the terrible two's are coming. He will throw things and smack the ground or wall when he gets mad. The good thing is we know it will pass eventually.

The pregnancy is continuing to go well. Only 8 weeks left!! That seems pretty crazy. I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now until 36 weeks, which is when I switch to weekly visits. I think we are possibly going to talk to the doctor about me being induced again since it will make childcare arrangements a little easier, but we are going to wait to see how things progress. With Matthias I was induced because I was already between 4-5 cm dilated at 37 weeks, and since labor with Justus was rather quick the doctor wanted to make sure I didn't deliver Matthias at home. I guess the same sort of thing could happen...we'll just have to wait and see. I'm still feeling really great...nothing to complain about except for the occasional heartburn, but it hasn't been that bad. I'm thankful that it hasn't been too hot out...and I'm hoping it stays that way for the next few weeks.

I will try to post some pictures within the next few days, so check back!
