Busy Week

Josh and Koda before church

This week has been a pretty busy one.  On Monday the boys had their well child visits.  Tyler woke up that morning saying his ear hurt, so it was pretty good timing since we were already going to the doctor.  It was the first time he said he didn't want to go to preschool because he wasn't feeling well.  So we stayed home in the morning and then went to the appointment in the afternoon.
The appointment went well.  Tony had the day off, so he was able to come with me.  Both boys look really good overall.  Turns out that Tyler and Josh both had ear infections.  So we're not sure if they just didn't get all the way better from the last ear infections, or if these are new ones.

Tyler was a little on the short side, but looking good.

Weight: 40 lbs (44%) 

Height: 41.6 inches tall (23%).  

Josh is more on the tall side.

Weight: 30 1/2 lbs (60%)

Height: 37 inches tall (72%)

Head: 48 1/4 cm (26%)  

It'll be interesting to see if they keep on this same path.  She was a little concerned that Josh wasn't talking better, so she said we can wait and see how he is at three or we could start him on some free speech training.  It's kind of funny because it seems like since that appointment Josh is already speaking better and using more words.  I think that we will wait for a couple months and then decide.

On Tuesday was Tyler's actual birthday.  I can't believe he is already five.  We kept the day pretty low key but did take him to dinner at Wingers.  They sent him a free kids meal coupon and we all had a good time eating dinner there.  

Kimball Sutherland

Yesterday Julie got induced and had her baby.  Kimball Boyd Sutherland came at 2:15 pm weighing a hefty 9.4 lbs and 20 inches.  They are all doing well.  I had my midwife appointment for my 38th week appointment.  I was at a 3 plus and 70% effaced.  So I am progressing nice and steadily.  I thought with all the contractions I have been having that I would have been more dilated, but I'll take whatever I can take.  My midwife said everything is looking good.  I have only one more appointment for next Friday.  If I haven't had her by the 30th, then I will get induced that day.
Later that night I went to dinner with some friends from my ward.  Well, really only one of the ladies still lives in the ward, the other two moved a couple months ago.  We went to The Cheesecake Factory.  It was lots of fun chatting with friends and eating yummy food.  It was even better because my friend, Natalie, paid for my meal as my birthday dinner - she is so good to me.
Today after I dropped off Tyler at preschool, Josh and I went to my parents.  I left Josh with my mom and then went and visited Julie at the hospital.  Little Kimball is super cute.  His hair was so soft.  He just slept while I was there, I just love that.  I can't believe that will be me in a couple of weeks (or less).  After I picked up Tyler and we all hung out at my parents for a couple of hours.  Josh took a nap and then Sherri and Rich stopped by and we all got to catch up.  I wished that I could have held Kimball for longer, but she'll be coming home tomorrow so I'll get plenty of chances to snuggle him.
Tomorrow we are having Tyler's family BBQ birthday party.  Before that my ward is doing a shower for me, so that should be fun.  I didn't really want a shower because I feel a little silly having one when it's not my first baby, but my neighbor was super excited to do it and had it all planned...so I'm having a shower.  We'll see if anyone shows up.  Should be a busy, but fun day tomorrow.
