Garden

It feels like we haven't seen the sun in a month, but all this rain certainly is helping the garden to grow. We have pole beans, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, zucchini and summer squash plants already growing. And someone from Matt's work gave us a Russian tomato plant, I guess he brought over seeds from Russia and they are now growing the plants. I am excited to see what the difference between their tomatoes and ours are. When there is a break in the rain I will take some pictures:-)
We are all doing well. Sammy has his kindergarden screening this week. It is so hard for me to believe that my baby is growing up and will be in kindergarden in the fall. Sophia is such a talker, we have these amazing conversations with her. We are awaiting a referral to go seea rheumatologist to see if they can figure out the cause of her pain, we are also seeing the head of orthopedics at Boston Children's next week. So please be praying about that.
I am feeling ok. I did have the UTI last week which was absolutely terrible. I can't believe I am 20 weeks along with Baby Surprise. As we get further along I am starting to get nervous but am praying that this pregnancy is the one that has no ambulance trips, no complications, no NICUs, no crisis' situations, no Magnesium, no pre-term labor and need for steroids, no pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome. I would be just beyond thrilled to go full term this time, be able to stay home until the end and go into labor like a normal person:-) I have actually started another blog as well. The new one is www.weberfamilylife2.blogspot.com
I was thinking that I would share this new blog once I announced I was pregnant but I haven't shared it until today. At some point I will probably transition over to the other one. Come follow my new one please:-) Leave a comment and let me know you came

Sophia ortho update and the DENTIST

Goodness just realized that I had forgotten to write about Sophia's appointment with the orthopedic doctor. Essentially it was an extremely frustrating appointment. He said that her hips turn in too much (which he said should resolve by age eight) and that the lower part of her legs turn out too much (again this SHOULD resolve by ag

e 4). He was not at all concerned about these issues. The only thing that he was concerned about was that she has been complaining of pain, and he said that that wasn't normal for a three year old. I had mentioned how she cries in the morning and has a lot of difficulty with the stairs and cries that her legs hurt, he said that this was behavioral, which REALLY REALLY bothered me!!! I have a 3 year old who has been a climber since before she could walk, who has never had an issue with stairs, who can skip and hop. Who is super active all the time, and then over the course of this winter has developed pain, difficulty with stairs, increased stumbling and it is BEHAVIORAL??? Really?!?!? Anyways a little annoyed. He essentially said that if she continues to complain then we should call him back and they will do an MRI and bone scan. But he thinks that a lot of it is behavorial in one sentence, and in the next he is really concerned about her pain....So we shall see...
In other news she had her first official trip to the dentist last week as well. She was very excited at first but then got anxious for a couple seconds until the girl actually started counting and checking her teeth, then she would randomly laugh while she was sitting there.:-)

Crazy friday

Tomorrow is certainly going to be an extra busy day. We need to be at the hospital for Sam's IVIG for 07:30. My friend Chris is taking Soph first thing in the morning so that she doesn't have to see them putting Sam's IV in. After his IVIG another friend will take Sam for me as Sophia and I have to go see an orthopedic doctor at Children's. IT certainly is going to be busy. I am anxious to hear what the doctors have to say about Sophia and to see what if anything they can do to help her. Please pray for a good complication free day.
