It’s gorgeous today… sunny and high
30’s. Lex and I went outside to get the mail and stayed out for
about 15 minutes while he “shoveled” our driveway. It was nice.
We are all sick in our house though :( Lex seems to be on the
recovering end, Alan in the middle, and I’m just getting sick.
Fun, fun.

I had my 35 week checkup
yesterday. Baby is doing fine and no longer measuring big
(yay!). We saw a new midwife (new to the hospital anyway) and
she was really nice. She let Lex climb up on a stool and hold
the doppler to listen to the baby’s heartbeat. He had huge eyes
and was pretty happy to be helping. Then we ran some errands
and had a play date — our first with a girl. She’s a pretty
tough girl though, and not a bit shy, and they had fun. Lex
even gave her a hug in the kitchen which ended up being a
take-down into the cabinets. She stood up, gave him a funny
look, and walked away. It was great. When I told Alan the story
later he reassured Lex that things will eventually get easier
with the ladies :)

I asked Lex this
morning if he wanted to go to a playgroup today or just stay
home and play. He said “play at home. go to playgroup another
day.” Can’t argue with that. I figured after the long,
family-filled weekend and a busy day yesterday, we’d both be
better off laying low today (and maybe tomorrow…)

That’s all for today. He’s napping (2nd day in
a row that he fell asleep within five minutes!) and I really
need to get a few things done.
