[Nielsen Family] 3 year check ups

[Rachel Nielsen]

Today I took the twins into get their 3 year well check. I am a few months late, but hey, we got it done right? Both Bridger and Ryder were in the 96-97 percentile-no surprise there! They were about 41 pounds and 41 inches tall. I didn't write down the exact number, but I know it was right there. They did great and all of the kids got their flu shots for the season. I think that will be really good with baby Bentley joining our family soon-and at the height of flu season and cold weather. I am in my 3rd trimester this week and have 12 weeks at the most left. My dr plans on inducing @ 39 weeks at the latest, but I have never gone past 37, so it could be only about 10 weeks left. We are really getting excited!

I switched pediatricians to someone that is 5 minutes away from us. She actually was the twins' dr when they were born. She is on bedrest with a baby of her own right now, but I was thrilled to be able to get back into see her. We are lucky that we saw her a few years ago, otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten in. We liked our other pediatrician, but Bountiful is just too far to drive for dr's appts for the kids. Plus, it will be nice to have the new dr there for Bentley when he is born.

Project basement is done and the kids' room will be next. I am pretty sure I know which new bed we are going to get them at RCWilley. I still have some closets I would like to go through and a few random things, but the point is that things are coming along nicely. We went furniture shopping this last Saturday, but we couldn't make any decisions on couches. I just wasn't 'in love' with any of them, so we are going to take a 'wait and see' attitude on those and just keep our eye out.

The twins are working on their letters and sounds and Hudson reads more and more everyday. Some of Hudson's friends that were in his preschool class last year have now moved from the all-day kindergarten into his afternoon class. One of the little boys was his really good friend, so Hudson practically skipped into school today. Jayson is almost done with his quarter of school and is just working on his final projects. I am busy with the house and Christmas projects. I told Hudson today that he needs to get his Santa list in early this year. Not sure if I was convincing enough or had a good enough reason for him, but oh well. I hope to have ALL of that covered and done by November. We just bought the kids their Halloween costumes and I can't believe it is only 1 month away!

Here are some funny pics we took of Bridger last night at my parents' house. This is how we found him :)

I hope you all have a great week :)
