One Big Week

This week, Aubrey broke her arm. I got a call from the school on Tuesday just after I had put the boys down for naps. They said Aubrey had fallen while racing with some other kids and I needed to come check it out. The big lump on her forearm where it didn't belong told me there was something wrong. Sure enough, her arm was broken. She was really brave, her arm is wrapped in a splint and she has this sling to help her out. It wasn't bad enough to need a cast (who knew...I thought all breaks needed a cast). While getting dressed and practicing the piano are difficult for her now, she hasn't let a mere hairline fracture slow her down...of course, now I am paranoid about her excessive energy. For the first break of my career as a mother, this really hasn't been too bad.



Secondly, we were able to go in for an ultrasound this weekend to learn more about our coming sprite. We thought it would be fun to video the kids when they got to see the ultrasound pictures. Some are happy, some are not. I guess you just can't please everyone. P.S. Josh is giddy, he could not be a more proud papa.
