{ oh what a day! }

Today we got another listen to Baby Little.  Because Mr. Little was off from school, we brought him along with us.  We figured he would get a kick out of hearing the baby's heartbeat.  He found it extremely funny when Baby Little kept "running" away from the doctor and then once the doctor had baby cornered...baby proceeded to let the doctor know that Baby wasn't a fan by kicking her.

While we were there we scheduled our ultrasound (in 2 weeks) and our C-Section.  I'm super excited now know exactly when Baby Little will join our family and to find out in what will probably be 2 very long weeks, if Baby Little is a boy or girl.

After the OB appointment, we headed off to the school district to get Mr. Little officially registered for Kindergarten.  It took way longer to figure out where we where we needed to go then it needed to, but we finally figured it out.  I'm excited for Mr. Little to start "real" school.  He'll be going to all day kindergarten.  We finally decided to get him registered for the school district we currently live in since I happened to look at our lease agreement and found out that our lease doesn't end until August 31st, and since that is so close to my due date, we may wait a month or two after we've had baby to move.  We've also been looking at houses to rent instead of rental town homes.  I love the idea of having the kiddos being able to run around out in a backyard.

But that wasn't the end of our day...

We still had Mr. Little's last conference appointment as a preschooler.  He only has 16 more days at his preschool before he's done for the summer and then moves onto Kindergarten.  He has grown so much since he entered GDK in Rosemount.  I have loved every single one of his teachers and it's so fun to see how much he's grown since the beginning of the year.  He still hasn't picked a hand.  However he never switches it consistently...a couple of days or weeks he'll write with his right hand, and then all a sudden he'll switch it up.  It's kinda of funny each day to see which hand he'll use.  And if he really turns out to be ambidextrous...more power to him.

{ sick day }

{ sick...can't you tell that Mr. Little is getting a little annoyed with me? }

I guess I should have figured this was how our day was going to go.  Mr. Little didn't sleep very well last night (normally my first clue that he's getting sick).  I woke up at 6 am with revenge of the morning sickness (thank goodness for Zofran), and then Evan woke up an hour later crying for Daddy.  After a quick phone call to Daddy, Evan then promptly went into the bathroom and threw up.  Lovely.  

So I packed us up and off we went to Urgent Care.  The Doctor thought it was strep, but when the rapid test came back negative, he figured it was Tonsilitis mixed with the Flu.  He did do a culture...but we won't know the results until Sunday evening/Monday morning.  (thank goodness Mr. Little has spring break next week).

After we went to Target to get some supplies (lunch, popsicles, movies), Mr. Little crashed for an hour.  We had lunch and then he crashed again for a couple of hours.  This evening after a dose of tynenol, he was up to his old tricks again.  We had to constantly remind him that although he was feeling better, he was still sick and dancing around the living room wasn't going to help him feel any better once the meds wore off.

Thankfully he's in bed and asleep.  I'm a bit worried that his fever will return when his meds wear off in an hour or so, but at least Mike restocked our supply this afternoon, because preggo here forgot to pick some up since she thought we had plenty.  Preggo (meaning me) was completely wrong.  Thank Goodness for Daddies!

I told Mr. Little that tomorrow was most likely going to be another sick day, pending on how he sleeps and whether or not he still has a fever.  Hopefully the weather is crappy so it won't be so bad if we have to stay inside again.

{ mr. little's new suit :: super cute }

{ mr. little and I after church }

Today was an interesting day.  Maybe it's because I was asked to give a talk today.  Or maybe because I realized at a flash that today would have been Charlie's due date.  Either way, it ended up being an awesome day with you, Mr. Little.

I watched you while I was up sitting behind the Bishopric, I know that you were trying to be good for your daddy who could barely keep his eyes open.  He was so tired.  But you were awesome.  I didn't look over to look at you while I was speaking because if I had, I'm sure I would have started laughing.  You were so proud of your new suit and to be at church.  As soon as sacrament closed, you were off to find your primary friends to run off to primary.  I'm glad you always end up where you are suppose too.  (yes...I check)

After lunch, quiet time (more for me than you), and my phone calls to set up my Monday schedule, we went out to see the pony again.  I can't believe how dirty he still was.  You did such a good job picking out his front hooves.  It was funny to watch you outside of the round pen as you ran around which ever direction Bailey was going.  Next time I promise I'll lug the saddle up to the round pen with your buddy stirrups so you can ride a little better.

You seriously are turning into quite the funny man.  trying to put your dirty socks on my hands while I wasn't paying attention (because I told you earlier you had stinky feet) and telling me that snotty girls deserve to smell your stinky farts.  Oh, I'm going to be in trouble as you get bigger.  

I sure love you Mr. Little.  Totally and completely!

{ rainy day }

Dear Littles,

I've been thinking about you both recently.  I'm not sure if it's because we're going closer to when Charlie should have made his or her appearance or the fact that I'm so full of hormones that I go from extremely happy to crying in 2.0 seconds.  I'm just going to assume it's both.  There are big changes coming our way, littles.   Daddy's schedule is changing and will hopefully change again soon so he'll be home during the day.  But for now I'll take the fact that he'll be home an extra day.  We're growing closer to moving.  I'm itchy for it.  We still can't really do much of anything for another 2 months, but we're looking.

Mr. Little, I'm so proud of you.  You have been such a good helper the past couple of weeks while your sister or brother has made life a bit more interesting for mommy.  You have so much to look forward too.  You're graduating preschool in a couple months, getting registered for kindergarten, and starting school in September.  This summer I have plans for you.  Hopefully soccer and skating lessons so you can get ready to play hockey in the winter. Your uncle will be so happy to see you in skates.  Believe me...since the moment you made your appearance, he's been counting down the days until he could see you play hockey.

Baby Little, I'm gonna ask that we please, please take a break from the morning sickness.  I know the doctor gave me Zofran, but still.  (However, I am so pleased to be so very sick...it means things are going the way they should)  On Monday, you'll be 12 weeks along.  Only 28 more until we get to meet you.  Your daddy and I are so excited.  Mr. Little is very excited to.  We've started collecting things for you.  He just loves to help pick them out.

My littles...I love you both.  The start of this year has sure thrown me for a loop, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.  You both give me peace and happiness and I look forward to all the adventures we have coming our way...
