Fall

I hurt my back so I am learning the value of good health and good friends. Two of my good friends took Isaac and Allie. I can't change diapers or pick them up or lift heavy things like a gallon of milk. I either strained it or pinched a nerve. I am better than yesterday so hopefully I'll just keep getting better. I would hate to miss halloween! We're all dressing to a theme this year.
We find out the gender next friday at my 22 week ultrasound. We'll find out if she's really a Micaela! She moves a lot already! My brother Joe had his baby Sept 19th - on Jonathan's birthday! His name is Hudson and he is very cute.
Isaac is sooo sweet! My friends baby was fussing and Isaac said, "its okay baby gwen" when i hurt my back he asked if I was alright. This morning Allie was stuck in her highchair waiting for someone to get her down and Isaac got her a book to read while she was waiting. So sweet. Allie is learning a few good words - No, Gogo, Dada, and Down. Its pretty funny. She climbs on the table and when I make eye contact she shakes her head and says "no" When she stands on the fire place she says, "down!" The picture of her with rice all over is a funny one. I found the bowl of rice i had given her on the floor and then followed a trail of rice down the hall to find her. So funny. Isaac and Allie are both on a big reading kick - which i love. Isaac points out all the shapes and colors and animals on the page - it can take a long time to get threw a book. They play outside a ton and I love it! I just open the back door and I can do whatever I want!
Jonathan's been working a lot of overtime - I hope he wins Scottrades Customer Education Month Challenge! he's doing really well at their trade simulation challenge as well. He's been first place for 2 weeks. He is a wonderful husband. With my back out he's been cleaning and changing diapers and feeding everyone. He is pulling all the weight - which he just did with all the morning sickness so he is a wonderful man! I better go lay on my cold pack!
