All right, all right, I'll do it!

Right...so I have been having a crazy time trying to get our updates out on a regular basis (you'd think that I could get it done seeing as I am in the bed all day, but...) Anywhoo, after much encouragement from a few friends, I have decided that a blog might indeed be the way to go. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, so you all get to go through my learning with me!

Today I have my first support group here on the High Risk Perinatal floor. It is a weekly meeting where we get to gather with other patients (you mean there are other people here besides me?!) and visit. I think it will be fun and encouraging to meet some other mommies and maybe get some pointers on how not to end up in the looney bin from boredom! I have to say, I am really looking forward to it!

The boys are back at our home, which I think will be good for them. It is always fun to visit GM and Grandy, but I really think they enjoy being on their own turf with their own toys! I am so hoping that they will go easy on Nana...they sounded pretty riled up this morning! They both have open house at their "school" this week. Tanner will start Mothers Morning out T/TH and Landon is starting preschool T/TH/F...they are really excited. I wasn't originally going to enroll Tanner, but we decided to b/c he so wanted to go with Landon last year...that was really a God thing b/c 1 week after we enrolled him, we discovered we were pregnant with P3!

Since we have had so many serious entries so far...I've decided to include videos of the boys at their swimming lessons for fun! They (and Greg and I) really enjoyed the pool this summer and they really took to swimming! Landon is starting stroke instruction and has freestyle, backstroke and (almost) breaststroke! Greg said that Sat. at the pool he kept swimming to the wall, popping out and saying "Just like Michael Phelps!" He is also into diving under to grab his diving sticks from the bottom of the pool. Tanner's favorite is to do "ring around the rosie" and to jump off the side, swim to you and then as soon as you lift him out of the water, turn and point to the ladder and say "ladder" and swim back and climb out...just to repeat it until the whistle for adult swim blows! The funniest part is that at 2, he doesn't really "jump" yet, usually just 1 foot at a time...so he actually looks like a little drunk man stumbling off into the water! I wish I had thought to take video of that to share!

Thank you all for your sweet messages and emails...you don't know how encouraging it is to get them...and I really appreciate you!

Love, Kristen, P3 (and the fellas!)
