news from cornwall land

i thought i would give some updates all around :)

madeline-
i am now 28 weeks! in some ways it is going SOOO fast, in other ways i feel like i have been pregnant FOREVER! i mean in the past 4 1/2 years i have been pregnant 3 times (well 4)... that is a lot!! so anyway, next week they start checking me for pre-term labor. i guess with brooke being so early they are not taking any chances. also my placenta is low, which means that unless it moves i will have to have a c-section. being my third (and final!) i don't really want this. they will continue to check and hopefully it will move out of the way :)

brooke-
i think we are going to wait on potty training. she was doing really well, but since we are gone most every morning (and i put a diaper on her when we go anywhere) it was setting her back. and with so many new things coming very soon... she may be wearing the diapers for another couple of months :)
brooke is defiantly 2. she tells you what she wants and expects you to do it... now! she is still a great talker. i don't even really think about it any more. but people who are not around us much are always amazed. the other day i counted and she said a 12 word sentence (something like... "i don't want to do that hana, i want to do ..."). she still sucks her two "rock star" fingers. i am not sure when that will stop... kindergarten maybe??!

hana-
hana is her typical hana self. some days she is wonderful and will do whatever you ask and plays great with her sister. other days... not so much :) she is sleeping well on the top bunk- hopefully that will remain once brooke joins her.
we have been swimming a lot and she is doing well (i don't blog it, because i don't bring my camera). she (and brooke) have swim lessons coming up in july. i look forward to seeing how much she improves :)
hana likes to be in control. she very much enjoys telling brooke what to do. i have to remind her (a lot!) that she is not brooke's mommy. they play very well together, as long as brooke is happy doing what hana tells her.
she doesn't have any new "skills" to speak of, but she is defiantly growing up :)

well that is our family in a nutshell ("help how did i get into this nutshell...").
