It's been a pretty good week so far. Nothing too eventful, but I kind of like it that way. The boys and I have gotten to spend a little time outside almost every day. I don't know if we will make it out today since the ground is a little wet, and our lawnmower is broken, which means our grass is getting a little taller than I would like. Hopefully the boys will be content with staying in this afternoon. Anyways...I decided yesterday to add a few pictures back into the living room, which I was very excited about. Sounds like a silly thing to be excited about, but I have hated not having any personal pictures up. I spent some of the boys nap time picking out a few of my favorites. I think it looks good without being too overwhelming. It makes me feel more at home to have a few pictures back up. We have a pretty eventful weekend planned, which should be fun. Saturday we are dropping the boys off with my parents for the night and going to a BBQ with some of our college friends and then Sunday we are treating Uncle Tom to lunch since he will be leaving in just a few short weeks.

The boys are doing good. Justus is talking more and more in short sentences...even though some of them are still pretty hard to understand. He is also getting so much better at listening and helping me when I need it. If I drop something and ask him to pick it up for me he usually will and if my phone rings and I'm in a different room he will bring it to me...he will even shut the TV or lights off when we are getting ready to go "bye bye". It's kind of nice because I know in the next couple of months those things (which seem so small right now) will really help me out.

Matthias has been a little on the cranky side the past couple of weeks, and rather sleepy too. He is waking up earlier than normal...usually between 6 and 6:30. He usually wakes up at least once in the middle of the night as well. He is taking good naps though, which I'm assuming is because he is pretty wiped out. I'm not sure if his teeth are bothering him or if he is going through a growth spurt, but hopefully it will pass soon. Matthias has also been getting nose bleeds about once a week for the past few weeks. It started out as just dried blood in his nose, but now he has actually gotten a bloody nose a couple of times, and usually while he is sleeping. I'm thinking I may need to dig the humidifier out and see if that helps.

I had my 34 week appointment on Monday, and it went well. I have an appointment in two weeks and every week after that. My doctor will be out of town the 4th-11th, which makes me pretty nervous, but I don't think it will be an issue. Right now I'm really torn between asking to be induced and just allowing things to happen naturally. I've been induced with both boys, which was really nice to be able to plan for the delivery. I'm also concerned that since Jon works close to an hour from home and my labor going pretty quickly with the boys that it will be an issue making it to the hospital before I get extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention having to deal with labor for an hour while also trying to take care of two boys. It just all makes me nervous. I'll probably just talk to my doctor about my concerns at my next appointment. In the next couple of weeks I will probably pack a couple bags for if/when I go into labor...one for the boys and one for Jon and I. It's so weird that we are getting to that point!
