Quick update.
Kayla has started ballet and, so far, is loving every minute of it. While not exactly the most graceful person, she is leggy and energetic and has a wonderful teacher who is very encouraging.
She should have started her school last week, but we're having problems setting up our DSL, so until that happens, her normal school is on hold, but we're still doing the regular work that we did throughout the Summer (math, phonics, etc).
Both of the kids saw their pediatrician yesterday and are growing like crazy -- Kayla is in the 90th percentile for height! I can barely keep in her pants that are long enough. Josh is also doing very well; however, I mentioned some concerns to the Doctor and he wants to have Josh evaluated for autism -- which is something we've suspected for a while. More than likely it is very mild, but no mother wants to hear that her child is autistic. At least we'll know one way or the other.
I had my 18 week appointment today -- things are going very well on the baby front! I gained back the 2 lbs I lost last month (from morning sickness), so even though I'm definitely wearing maternity clothes, I'm still at my pre-pregnancy weight. My next appointment is October 30th -- also my dad's birthday -- and I will finally have my first ultrasound and perhaps we'll have our question answered -- boy or girl? My only hope is that if it's a boy, then my sister will have another girl, because I have tons of girl baby stuff. (Summer clearance - who can resist a $1 babyGap dress?)
Brian's had some back problems lately and is now having spinal decompression three times a week in physical therapy. He was off work for a few days after installing a new porch rail and went downhill from there. Thankfully he still had some vacation time left (no sick time!), so we didn't have to lose any pay. The bad part is that we have to pay $60 a week in copays for physical therapy. Oh well, at least he's feeling much better!
Love to all!
