Random Little Things That Together Make One Blog

I have my first sonogram appointment tomorrow and I'm most excited about it because I can prove to all of you sick people who keep telling me it's twins, that we're just having ONE little bundle of joy! I'm also excited/nervous to meet my new doctor since, sadly, my doctor moved away right after Rylee was born. It was so sad =(. But this doctor was on call and delivered Em so there's a little history.

Rylee's starting to really talk now. Her favorite toy and a word she says really well is "baby". She's very possessive about that baby though. If Ally dares pick it up she yells in a shrill voice "BBBAAAABBBYYYY!!" and that means give it back or else. Her other big thing to say is "ummmm?" I'll ask her in the morning, "What do you think you should wear today?" And she runs over to her closet and says, "Ummmmm?" and points to some random item in her closet. I don't remember um being around until they were older. But I guess if you have older siblings things come around quicker.

I was a bad parent this week and saved Emily's entire homework packet for Wednesday night, and it's due Thursday. I wish I could say it's the first time it's happened. I generally try to spread it out but it doesn't always happen.

I think Emily has the end of the school year blues. She's informed me every morning since spring break that she is sick. She also had to flip her first yellow card at school today. They start on green, then go to yellow if needed, then orange, then red. She's never even come close to flipping her card to yellow. The aid told me that she yelled out the name of the book when her teacher picked it up. A minor offense but I guess color changing worthy. She lost 5 minutes of her lunch recess also. I guess if you flip your card you lose some recess. I'm sure she won't do it again!

Mike hasn't been able to talk much since Sunday after church. He led worship and then boom, no voice. I'm guessing at this point he may have Laryngitis. Obviously I'm not a doctor but it's been 4 days. Hopefully whatever he does have will pass soon.

And as for Ally, nothing really new. Tomorrow could end the breathing treatments. We'll find out at the doctor. She still is coughing a lot and is way more tired than before so who knows what he'll say. We could definitly use some prayers for health in this family!
