Sugar Free Allstars

Last week we went to the local library to watch the Sugar Free Allstars perform. They're a kid-friendly duo that sing fun, silly songs. Everett had SO much fun and danced the entire time. Here's a picture of him breaking it down.

On Monday evening Chance, Everett and I went to Lake Willastein to watch the fireworks show. E loved it and proclaimed that "I am brave because I'm not even scared". The show was really awesome and we were close enough to the fireworks that with the breeze we were sprayed with ash. We came home and let E do some sparklers and set off a few other low key fireworks. Bella was a complete and utter mess the entire day from all of the fireworks that were set off.

Everett is growing quite independent these days. He can totally dress himself head to toe, can get in and out his car seat and the car. He even likes to wash himself up in the bathtub some nights. He is totally potty trained and only wears a pull-up or diaper for nap and bedtime. He has been doing many of these things for a while, but it just hit me lately that he's so grown up. It will be nice that he's growing independent after the baby comes, but right now it's pretty bittersweet. While we're going down the list of things he can currently do he can also spell his name. :) He's excited about his baby brother coming and frequently asks when we're going to "get him out".

In other family news, I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant. We had a bit of scare of Thursday that ended up with me being in L & D in preterm labor. I was having contractions a good portion of the day and they weren't letting up so we went in. They got progressively worse so I had four shots of Brethine and an oral dose as well as an IV. They finally let up some and spaced way out so I was able to go home. They did a fetal fibronectin test to determine whether or not I'll go into labor in the next two weeks, and thankfully it was negative so it looks like Anderson is staying put until I'm at least 35 weeks. We're shooting for full term (37 weeks +) though. I'm still having contractions pretty regularly, but as long as I'm off of my feet they're pretty manageable. It may be a long four weeks!
