Equal Treatment

I had another appt. with my wonderful doc this week - they're all running together these days. More tests but all is looking good. After he examined me and measured my belly, listened to the heartbeat, etc. he left the room to go and order some labs. Randy and I didn't notice for a minute but Cooper climbed up on the table, layed back, and pulled his shirt up. He just looked at us until we realized what he was doing. Randy said, "do you want me to check your baby now?" and he said "yes". So, laying VERY still - which is NOT like him at all - he patiently waited for Randy to measure HIS baby and listen to the heartbeat. We were both laughing SO HARD that when the nurse came in she didn't quite know what to think - I LOVE my little boy!
And I KNOW you've all been feeling SORRY for those of us in Iowa because of how COLD it has been, but this past weekend it got up into the 40s!! Instead of -40. The snow which had not melted since December began to disappear - of course there were a ton of WET opportunities and we let Cooper take full advantage of them. This pic is in our backyard and by the time we brought Coop in the house he was DRENCHED from splashing and wading through water.
Randy even pulled out his little car and pushed him around.
I know to some of you this doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you've been stuck in your house or running from the car into the store for months because it's soooo cold the moisture in your nose freezes - you will understand that this was a HEAVENLY day.
I think getting back on a swing was the best part of all :)
