All is Well

I am happy to report all is back to normal in the Franklin house. Will is doing better with his sleep patterns, but still randomly wakes up with what I think is nightmares. He wakes up with this terrified sounding scream, and really cant be consoled. Those are hard, but I am sure that is just the beginning of them. He has three of his molars in now so hopefully there is only one more period left of horrible pain for him. I feel so bad for him that those huge adult sized teeth have to pop through his little mouth!

It is a three day weekend! We don't have any plans that are set in stone yet, but I am sure that we will go to Effingham one day, and we would like to have friends over for a cookout one night too. We have been spending a lot of time with friends in our neighborhood lately, which has been fun. Especially since the weather has been so nice! It has been dropping into the 60's or even 50's some nights so it has been great weather to play outside after dinner! We have been taking a lot of bike rides and taking Will to the park a lot as well. He loves being outside. Every morning before we have even eaten breakfast, he is bringing me his shoes wanting to go outside. It is not so much fun for me though because I spend most of the time outside by getting rocks out of his mouth, preventing him from running into the street or eating things that are purely not edible.( like a certain smelly, disgusting present that Riley leaves for us in the backyard twice a day)

So I am already into my 22 week of pregnancy. Where does the time go? I cant believe how fast this is going. I was saying to Jon the other day that if there was a pause button I could hit, I would. I am so not ready for this baby! By this time when I was pregnant with Will I had so much more ready, and was mentally prepared. This time, I still don't even feel like it is real, until I feel him flipping around inside me! Oh yeah, that is the exciting news- we are having another boy! What am I going to do with two rotten little boys? :) I know that Jon was very relieved to know that its a boy, but I have to admit I was a little shocked! I really thought that he was a girl! I actually saw the boy parts in the sono before she even told us. But Jon still wasn't in the room so she wouldn't tell. I was definitely seeing pink for a long time so it has taken a little adjustment to get used to the idea that he really is a boy. But the pictures don't lie, and there is definitely something in between those legs! We still don't have a set name yet, but I am leaning towards Max Owen Franklin. I think "max and will" sounds great together, but Jon thinks that it sounds like a dogs name. With Will, we didn't come up with his name until much later, so I am not worried! I think that Will will love having a little brother, eventually!
