Friends, James, and Test results (almost)

 My Ben is a blabbering fool right now, and I mean that in the cutest of ways. He talks and talks and talks and talks. It is sooooo cute!!! Most of what he says is not in my particular vernacular, but none the less it is talking!  Of the particulars that are in my vocabulary: he knows the names of most fruits, common animals, and common everyday household items like tooth brush and shoes. One of his recent adorable habits are starting the alphabet at the letter "Q" and moving on down to about "U." I mean don't get me wrong he can start at "A" but generally chooses not to. We are approaching his 20 month birthday on Friday this week and age developments include acknowledging when he has poo poo in his diaper, taking me by the hand and leading me places he wants to go, climbing up and down furniture, and squealing like a girl whenever he sees his favorite toddler friend Boston (see below).

Now onto James, our baby in waiting. James is a little over five months old (interuo, of course). He is a wiggling and jiggling inside, and his dad has felt him kick a couple of times already.  I am not sure his weight, I think he is close to two pounds but not there yet. I have gained nine pounds total so far, so I think we're good in the belly area.  This pregnancy has been different from Ben's pregnancy, some of the differences include, less nausea, more heart burn, less energy, more constipation, and ok I think that is enough info for now ;)

Will and I have been busy birds- studying for his test. Well he has done the studying and I have done the constant care of Ben, even in the evenings-which has made it complicated to participate as much in my calling in the young women's as an advisor. Will's boards were divided into two days over the past two weeks and last Wednesday we finally finished six months of none stop studying. It's nice to get to see Will again, on a more regular basis (see below). Now, however, everything we had on hold for the last half of year is back on the bracket… which is a little unnerving-- finding a job, more radiology experience, building a apartment in Will's family's basement so we have a place to live after we sale the condo we are in currently, and so on. We are hoping to find out the results to Will's test June 4th--- but we may not be in this particular batch of score results. So wish us luck!  Well I think I've covered the whole family- so until next time- remember to brush your teeth.
