Love, hugs, and prayers

1. So, my dear friend Shanna is going to be a mommy of two in a few? several? hours. Please, please keep her and her sweet babies in your prayers! She's been on bed rest for 8 and a half weeks, and has made it to 33 weeks and 5 days. Pre-eclampsia has reared its ugly head and they induced her this evening. Pray for a swift and uneventful labor and delivery and the health of mommy and babies. How precious they are going to be!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on them when I visit :).

2. Will's toddler years are ever changing, and I must say that this is becoming one of my favorite times with him! Granted, he knows EXACTLY what buttons to push to land him in time-out for two minutes, but he also knows just what to say to keep me on my toes and smiling. He says the funniest things. I just love hearing him talk - it's music to my ears! Bedtime continues to be a struggle - I (we) pray daily for guidance when it comes to Will and sleep... and we've been doing that since he was a newborn. One of these days, he'll be a teenager and I'll wish he would just get up already!

3. How is our baby girl 4 months old already?! I know I say this every month, but she is the sweetest baby! She continues to eat and sleep well, smile and giggle, and put EVERYTHING in her mouth. She hasn't quite rolled over yet, but boy is she close - it makes her so mad that she can't figure out what to do with that arm! She loves watching her brother and he loves playing with her - it makes a mother's heart melt seeing her babies enjoying each other. We went to the pediatrician today for her well visit (although, she had a snotty nose so I opted out of the vaccines until next Tuesday) and here are her stats:
Weight: 13lbs 11oz (58%)
Height: 25.25 inches (92%...again, how are my children in the 90 percentiles here?)
Head: 42cm (89%... no surprise there :))

Pictures to come...
