Updates

Sam's big boy room is coming along nicely! Daddy spent the whole weekend working on it while Mommy and Sam stayed with Grammie and Pappy. We are so thankful for him! I can't wait to post pics of what Jon did...he built awesome trim and refinished my old furniture to match the "theme" of the room. Only two more rooms to go and I will feel better about this baby coming!

Sam's 18 month check-up:

Weight: 29 pounds
Height: 34 1/2 inches
They are guessing Sam will be about 6'3...Jon was hoping he would be taller, but I think he forgot about the Johnston side. Anything over 5'5 is considered tall for us!
Developmentally, Sam is off the charts! It's so fun to have "little" conversations with him and watch him explore.
He does enjoy the babbling still, which is very entertaining to watch and listen to.
Sam has also become quite the wrestler. I'm still trying to figure out how to teach him that we can wrestle with Dad, but can't tackle anything that moves.

Baby Update:

I am feeling great and enjoying being active again and chasing Sam everywhere! I will have to have tests done the week after I have the baby on my kidneys, but we are really just praying that everything will be great! The baby is so much more active than Sam was...which makes me a little scared :) They think he is around 3 pounds now. My belly is measuring 2 weeks ahead (bigger), but they said that was good.
We have also scheduled our C-section for December 16th. It really set in today and made everything seem more real for Jon and I. I'm looking forward to not feeling a contraction this time...watch me go early and eat my words!

I think we do need to start the tradition of McDonalds with them. Next we can teach them how to walk to K-Mart!
