28 Weeks!!

I can't believe that I have already made it to 28 weeks! This pregnancy has gone by so fast (at least the second trimester). At my appointment this past week, both boys were doing great. The doctor measured Baby A to be 1 lb 15 oz and Baby B to be 2 lb 12 oz. He said that he thinks he got a skewed measurement on B's head, though. He thinks both babies are right around 2 lbs, but B might be a little bigger. I can already tell that these boys are going to be little hooligans. Baby A likes to scare me by making me think he's asleep and then BAM! out of nowhere he kicks me so hard that I just about jump out of my skin! Baby B is much more calm, but he has made his little toes a permanent nest in my ribs :) These kids must be growing fast because I sure am! Here are some pictures :)

I think my 27 week picture looks even bigger than my 28 week picture. Sometimes my boys just like to play womb hockey and it changes my shape!

Ghost Town

Rock Springs is such an exciting place to live that we decided we would have more fun in a ghost town. So we packed a picnic and headed out to Winton yesterday. With our sense of direction, getting there was more than half the adventure :) We did eventually make it, and it turned out to be pretty fun!

Here are some pics of the biggest structure that you see when you first drive in.

"Hell bound" haha

I needed to use the bathroom, so I went behind the building and saw this beauty staring straight at me. Mr. Grim Reaper scared the pee right out of me!

And yes, it started hailing on us. Hard. Maybe the sign should have said "Hail Bound." Luckily the hail disappeared as quickly as it came. Here are some pictures of other things we found.

I think we found our new party spot :)

Contrary to popular belief, there is a tree in Wyoming.

Michael found a "trampoline."

He tore this building down himself.

Look how high he is! (That's the idea of 4/20 right??)

What a cute starter home! 

Apparently, this town had worse drivers than Michael!

Michael, Michael, Michael

In case you couldn't guess from the title, this post is all about Michael :) He just does so many things to entertain me, I had to share them. (Don't worry, I have permission!) Luckily, he laughs at himself about as much as I do. Seriously, who needs cable when you live with this guy? Here are a few examples of things he does that keep me laughing.

1. He talks in his sleep.

In fact, these are some of my favorite conversations with him. Most of the time, he's not even speaking English. He'll just say a phrase made up of random sounds and repeat the phrase again and again, often becoming more adamant each time. But, as hard as I try to remember the phrase, I always forget what it was by morning. However, a few nights ago we had two conversations while he was sleeping and both times he was speaking English (sort of), so I remembered them and can now share them!

Michael- "It's such a nightmare."
Me- "What is?"
Michael- (1 minute of mumbling, trying to think of a word)
Me- "Seriously what?"
Michael- (more mumbling) then he says "the...the...troubles in the world" (seriously, it took him over a minute to think of the word "trouble")
Me-"What are you talking about?"
Michael- "The...the...Middle East"
Me- "Seriously?"
Michael- "Goodnight."

Later that night....
Michael- (gives a little triple cough)
Me- (give an imitation triple cough to see if he will talk)
Michael- "Tight the right might."
Me- "What?"
Michael- "Tight the right might."
Me- "Tight the right might?"
Michael- "Yes. It'll tell you what to do."

The best part is, he doesn't remember any of it when he wakes up. I need to start negotiating the budget with him while he's sleeping!

2. He messes up sayings and words. 

Here are a few things he has said.

• "He just wanted to shoot the wind with me." (shoot the breeze)
• "The boys were begging hand and toe to play the Wii." (begging on hands and knees)
• "She was only alive because the doctors were keeping her alive. Her mom made the decision to plug the tube." (pull the plug)
• "I don't have enough glout to do that." (clout)
• "This water is scolding hot!" (scalding)
• Me at 6 months pregnant- (talking about a water tube) "How am I supposed to get on this thing?" Michael- "Like a breeched whale." (There are several issues with this one. #1 it's rude! And of course #2, he means beached whale)

Alright, we all forget sayings and words sometimes, but most of us just find a different way to say it when we are blanking lol...

3. He made a heroic attempt to change a diaper, even though he has no idea how. 

So, the two of us were babysitting a 14 month old boy for a friend. I had to leave for 10 minutes, so he was on his own for a little bit. Of course, in that 10 minutes, the boy poops his pants. My sweet husband decides to try to change him.  First, he lays the boy down and takes off the dirty diaper. Then, not knowing what to do with it, decides to get up to go throw it away. So now, the diaper is in the trash but there's a child running around our living room with poop all over his bum. Next, Michael chases him down and starts wiping his bum, but with the diaper gone, he has nowhere to put the filthy wipes, so of course they go on the carpet. Finally, he puts the new diaper on, but soon realizes that he put it on backwards. He was going to leave it that way, but then the poor child's jewels were hanging out, so he decided it would probably be best to fix it. I guess I will have to train him, because soon we will have two little poop machines running around!


Well, I suppose that's enough teasing for now! Here are my most recent belly pictures!
