At Luke's appointment today he weighed 25lbs. 14 oz. and was 30 inches long. I think he was a little longer because his leg wasn't straight when they measured him. I'm going to measure him tommorow to make sure. They have gotten it wrong before, so we'll see.

My mom and dad came today to watch the boys because I had an appointment at the orthopedic doc. He took more x-rays and said I was really stiff in my pelvis. He said I didn't have any arthritis in my hips though which is good, but I did have some arthritis in my lower back. So, he wants me to have an MRI done. He thinks all of these problems I'm having may have more to do with the muscles and soft tissue than the bones, and that will show up on an MRI if that's the case. The only thing is that the MRI is about $1700! We don't have the greatest insurance, with a $3000 deductible, so we will have to pay all of it.

Well, on a more positive note, Luke is pretty much walking now. He still falls down on his little bottom, but he's doing great. They are so cute when they first start walking, how they put their arms up in the air for balance. I was kind of sad tonight when I was putting him to sleep, rocking him, thinking how he will probably lose his baby fat soon. I had better relish all of these moments now because they will soon be gone.


*REVISED* We measured Luke today on his changing table and he is actually a little over 31 inches.
