more doctor's

It is yet another sonogram picture. I am becoming tired of going to the doctor's office every week honestly. This last time we found out things are starting to go downhill. My cervix is continuing to thin out. Which is not supose to be happening yet. So the doctor put me on partial bed rest. I am only allowed up for four hours each day. Four hours is a lot but not enough all at the same time. Andrew is getting big and doing well though. He is 3 pounds and 6 ounces. I am only at 28 weeks but he measures at 30 weeks. So he is a big boy. If he follows the other two kids he only has a few more ounces and he will be ready to come out.

Albert and Sarah are getting anxious for me to have him. Albert keeps asking me when "my brother" is going to come out. Sarah asks me how much longer. So they are ready to have a brother. I am not ready however. We have some things but we have a lot more to get yet. I have a stroller, car seat, bassinet, a few clothes, a blanket, a couple toys, and some diapers. I got the changing table out and cleaned that up. I still need to get his crib, tons more clothes, burp clothes, receiving blankets, I am going to nurse but I should have some bottles anyway, baby towels and wash clothes, diaper genie, sleepers, baby tub, and so on and on and on. For being so small babies require an awful lot of stuff. We are slowly getting there. I just need to get there faster I guess. I am a little concerned about what size clothes to get him because it depends on how far I make it to what size to get. If I make it full term he has the makings to be a very baby so newborn stuff wouldn't fit. But if I have him in the next few weeks I will need newborn and premie stuff. So I don't know what size to get so I have kind of put off buying clothes. That's part of it and the other part is I hate shopping.

The kids got their reports card last week. They both did very well. Albert marks all went up but one it stayed the same. Sarah's all went down but one or two. She did very well though. She got mostly A's and one or two B's. I completely expected her's to go down a bit this time. She is doing harder things in school now. The first marking period was mostly review stuff. They are doing very well with school.
