Alexander Looks Like a Klingon and His New Discovery

Alexander and Benjamin spent the day at Gram's house while I worked more on moving preparations. I was making a quick stop at the Honda body shop, after my midwife (22 week) appointment, to see how much it would cost to repair the damage from Ryan high centering the car on a snowbank this last winter when I got a phone call from Diane. Alexander had fallen off a chair and had a black eye and a possible broken nose. I went to pick Ryan up and we met them at the new Bellevue Medical Center (which I didn't expect to see the inside of before our move -- It's a shame we won't be here for baby #3's delivery because it's a beautiful building). Apparently baby's noses are mostly cartilage. Amazingly, they got him right in and the Dr. came right away. They had already seen Alexander by the time we arrived. We were there less time than it took for my midwife appointment.

Alexander was not interested in much but laying his head on Gram's shoulder when we first arrived and then he moved to my shoulder. I nursed him a bit, we got back to Gram and Gramp's got him a diaper change, and now he's no worse for wear (other than looking a bit like a Klingon).

He was really excited about discovering his pocket.

Benjamin's Preschool Party

Benjamin had a party to celebrate the end of the semester at Preschool. Alexander was really excited he got to stay and play and not just watch through the one-way window and wave "bye bye" at Benjamin. They ate a LOT of cupcakes, cookies, snack mix, and Kool-aide.

I had to crop the photo with his 2nd hour buddy, Cassarah, because she had way too much cleavage showing.

These were Benjamin's 3rd hour buddies, Rashim (1st 1/2 of the semester) and Tevante (2nd 1/2 of the semester).

Lewis Baby #3 has a Dongle...

Well, he doesn't actually have a dongle... because a dongle according to dictionary.com is: "a hardware device attached to a computer without which a particular software program will not run: used to prevent unauthorized use." Apparently, this is a widely used term in the computer world.

So it's way too late at night and we've been packing boxes or I wouldn't have thought it was so funny that Ryan put my A&M Smokey the Bear Hat Band on his head and said something about a dongle... thus, our conversation (about his dongle being broken at work) and the title of this post.
We had our 20 week ultrasound on Tuesday. Benjamin was sorely disappointed that he won't be having a little sister at the end of September and was grumpy that Ryan was so relieved (i.e. excited) by the news: For now Ryan won't have to figure out how to parent a daughter and will have one more boy scout. Alexander at this point really doesn't have a concept of what's going on and will be shocked when the new baby arrives. Ryan and I were both pretty surprised when the ultrasound tech said "It's a boy". I've been having dreams about a daughter for weeks and we both had the feeling last fall that we would eventually have a daughter... and no we are not going to keep having kids until we get one! The baby seemed to have all his parts and pieces and measured large (which is expected for a Lewis baby) possibly moving my due date to the 21st of Sept.
