Let's go youngest to oldest.
Baby #3
Just last night my Grandma Prickett asked me if I have felt baby move at all. I told her, "No." I will be 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow (Tuesday) and then we get home after Garreth's party and finally get to bed...we get to bed late..there are not enough hours in the day and still lots of things left in shambles and undone. So, it was 11-11:30 and sure enough there was Baby #3 wiggling around in there. Not the little flutters, the popping feeling of kicks. Both boys I felt more popping type feelings and after they got a little bigger feel a few "flutters." Baby sure likes to move around. I remember with Aidan I would feel him one day and not the next few (in the beginning) Baby is still letting me feel them today. Next Thursday we find out if Baby is he or she! Can't wait!!
Logan
Logan turned 15 months while we were in SC. He is our little destructive one. Logan enjoy wreaking havoc. No toy left put together, no dish towel left hanging, no dog bowl in the stand, no toy bin left unturned. He thrives on chaos. He is a man of babbling and few words we understand. He does thoroughly enjoy mocking sounds he hears especially others laughing. He and Aidan get to fake laughing and then laughing at their fake laughing and then laughing at each other laughing and so it goes on and on. They have a blast. Logan is starting to play with Aidan more but still mostly entertains himself. He is starting to snuggle more, but mostly especially at bedtime he wants to be in his bed, door shut, and lights off. He may go to sleep quickly or lay there content for 30 minutes then drift off. He laughs at Andrew a lot. He has little fear of strangers or danger. He wants to do everything Aidan does. He waves and says, "Hi" and "Byebye." Hi sounds like Hi but Byebye is a little slurred. He also sounds like he says, "Thank You" if you give him a snack. Logan's voice is very sing song like. Very cute for our Little Bit. He used to say Mama but that is long gone and he loves to say, "Dada" and other D sounds. Next Tuesday he goes in for his 15 month check up look out for stats then!!
Aidan
Today marks the 5th Monday of potty training. Aidan is doing fantastic!! He made the entire trip home from SC with a dry diaper came home went potty and woke up dry! He only uses diapers at bed and nap. We have been able to reuse A LOT, but then there are the nights and naps that he wakes up wet. He currently is waking up after he pee's though.. Those days get a little hairy because he is sleepy from not having a full nap. We are so happy with how well he is doing. Aidan is speaking more clear every day. He LOVES to sing and sing loud too! He claps and dances almost all day. He loves golf, baseball and being outside. (Logan loves outside too! He cries every time we bring him in.)
Andrew
Andrew works long hours. I know a lot of people are away from home 10-12 hours a day with commute, but Andrew is gone that long and the commute is 5 minutes. He is pretty burnt out when he gets home and so are the boys. Some evenings are just unpleasant with all the fussing. I feel bad for Andrew because some days he only sees the boys when they are exhausted. Andrew gets called in on the weekends too. When he has to go in it is because there is a problem to fix. So, not a good thing for him. It is very stressful. If he has to go in he tries to go during nap so he doesn't miss too much time with the Boys. Andrew doesn't have much free time on his hands just having the time to mow the lawn or change the oil in the cars is like finding a needle in a haystack. When he is home we like to spend all our time together.
Carrie
I am home with the boys and missing Andrew a lot of the days. I am finally starting to not feel like death. It only took 16 or so weeks to start feeling "normal" again. I am still super tired. Otherwise just very happy to finally not be so sick feeling. The laundry(it's all clean but not folded or put away) has built an army against me in the sick time so I am trying to dig out of the rut. Luckily my Mom came over and helped me with the boys and folded all the laundry with me. Now to get it put away! We are excited for the next week and a half. We are hosting a Co-ed Bridal Shower for Phil and Emily on Saturday. Then Thursday is the big ultrasound where we get to check Baby's growth and see if they will cooperate so we can find out who is in there!!
