Catching up again!


















I am going to really try to update this several times a week! Harrison does so many cute and amazing thing daily and I don't want to forget any of them! He is healthy and happy and looking forward to the arrival of his brothers. He says "Hug Henry, Kiss Charlie (which are their names by the way!)". He loves anything construction, backhoes, bulldozers, tools, cement mixers! Its always exciting for him in the car because we see them everywhere. That is the theme of his birthday party next month. I know, hard to believe I am planning his SECOND birthday party! We still go to Tumbles on Mondays and its the highlight of his week. About a month ago, he made a move on Karly, his favorite girl, and kissed her right on the lips! Yesterday, they hugged hello and goodbye with faces smashed up against each other. Then she gave him a big smooch on the cheek. She walked off and he just looked at me with this big grin and pointed at the place where she kissed him! Yesterday I spent the day bummed because of the pregnancy weight gain and Harrison looked up at me and said "Mama Princess". Nothing could have made me happier! He is the sweetest. At the doctor's office yesterday, he kept getting sad and saying "Doctor hurt Mommy". He was so scared they were going to hurt me. He is already protecting his mama. He is very sweet and sensitive, but still a tough guy at the same time. He is a trooper when he falls down or is feeling bad! He takes swimming lessons once a week now. He is getting really good. Adam usually goes to these and said he can jump in and stay under for three seconds now! He really looks forward to his swimming class. I just say Harrison is fluent now because he says everything! He regularly talks in sentences and the sentences are getting longer. His newest word is "actually". I love it when he uses this. At Easter, we went to the park and they had a big hunt with a petting zoo, bounce houses, pony rides, and face painting. A goat with floppy ears walked up to him at the petting zoo and I said "Look Harrison, thats a goat!". He looked at it and said "No, actually that is a puppy". He also likes to say "Go away" now, which is not so great! The nurse brought him stickers at the doctor's office and he was apprehensive about everyone working there and he politely told her to "Go away". I think it hurt her feelings :( As far as the twins go, everything is going better than we could have ever expected! I am 21 weeks along and have gained 20 lbs. At 18 weeks, they were measuring 18 and 19 weeks, which means they are big for twins! They are probably about a pound each right now and 11 inches long. They kick me regularly and especially kick me during Harrison's storytime at night. Maybe they will love stories as much as he does! I have one more appointment in April, three in May, and then we start going all the time, as many as two times per week sometimes! The doctor told me to expect them in late July at best, but to be ready for anything in June. Their names are Henry Sterling and Charles Beckett (Henry and Charlie). There is a 90% chance they are fraternal. If they look identical at birth, we can get them tested to find out. I am busy doing all I can to get ready for them. We are about to start finishing out the rooms downstairs. One is an office for Adam so he can work from home more. We also will hopefully build a deck in the next two months. It will be nice to get that all out of the way before there are babies in the house! More updates soon!!!
