Well, today I had my 24 week midwife appointment. This time around we've been taking the kids to each appointment with us because they always love going so much. They've got a nice little set up of toys there for the kids to play with, plus the kids get such a kick out of hearing the baby's heartbeat and our midwives are so patient and sweet always explaining every little thing to them so they really feel like they're a big part of this baby's life already (which of COURSE they are!) Everything looks good with baby. The heartbeat was 154, which is lower and closer to what Hayden's was when HE was in my belly. We still don't know if we're having a boy or girl and are enjoying the surprise of it all until he or she arrives! I've started chore charts with the kids and they've been doing so good with them. We have a calender that has our fun "activity" for the day written on each day and whoever gets all the chores on their chart done the quickest gets to be calendar helper for the day. They get to put the date on the calender and reveal what our fun activity for that day is. If the chores do not get done, then we don't get to do our activity - but so far so good - and we've been able to do lots fun play dates and stuff.
These pictures are of the kids before the midwife appointment sitting in our front entryway. They were so excited to go to the appointment that they all got up, showered and did their chores so fast, even I was impressed with them today!
