Love Bug

Since our last post we have completely taken Matthew off all allergy medicines for his ears. His body just doesn't handle them well. After about a week on the Clarinex he started not sleeping much at all. He wouldn't fall asleep until after 11:00 and wake up around 4:00. Oddly he was in a great mood all the time, but five hours of sleep is not healthy for him or myself. Since taking him off the medicine and allowing for his body to adjust back, he is now back to 12-13 hour uninterrupted nights!

We went to the pumpkin patch last week and I posted some new photos at our site. We also spent some time with friends and celebrated Silas' fourth birthday at the fire station. The kids all had a blast climbing on and in the trucks, wearing some fire gear and spraying the fire hose!

As for the newest addition to be joining us in about three months, we have finally decided on a name. We went with Andrew David. Matthew is working on saying his name, but has "baby brother" (sounds more like bruder) down pat. Now when I show him my belly and ask who is in there, he will say "baby" or "brother". I go back to the doctor next week for my monthly check-up and glucose test. Hopefully we will also set a date for January at that appointment too.
