20 Months, 21 Weeks

My 20 month old boys are growing and changing every day; Sam is 25 pounds, Ty is 30 pounds. My 21 week old boy is growing and changing every day too; little bud is 1 pound. That's right -- it's another boy! We had our ultrasound this week and he is looking great -- healthy and normal, 75% for weight. We went to an allergist two weeks ago for the twins -- not so healthy and normal so we went and had the blood testing redone and hopefully we'll get the results soon. We may have to reevaluate our diet for the boys but thankfully, the allergist recommended we see a dietician. It would be wonderful to have some help with what to feed our kids -- somehow I think sausages, hot dogs and fruit snacks probably isn't cutting it. There are days when I would just love to make them an easy PB&J, or mac n cheese, or grilled cheese, or pretty much anything normal. It's hard to say no, heartbreaking even sometimes. Argh. But I guess the idea is that by doing all this crazy diet now, hopefully someday they can eat normally.

We had a fun and busy day Thursday at the Conference Grounds with the Ploegs. The boys played on the beach, played a little in Lake Michigan (although mostly just with buckets as the water was in the 50's), played in the kiddie pool, played on the playground, played at the campsite. They were both out cold within minutes of leaving at 7:30pm. Just exhausted. But it was a beautiful, fun day!
