That's where I've been....for 2 weeks apparently! I am about 10 weeks along in this pregnancy and looking forward to getting some energy back! I have been napping every day with the kids and going to bed early most nights once they are down. Hopefully I can get the new baby on the same napping schedule fairly quickly! Those sleepless nights are creeping back into my memory.......
The twins have been playing and just having fun. They seem to play so well together lately, anytime I'll find them in their room or in a corner playing and laughing hysterically at each other. It's so cute. Now, that's not to say they don't have their fair share of sibling fights, cause they do. It's just a bit less lately. They like to go in their room and close the door to shut momma out I guess. They are getting so mature! Haha....so I have to go open it a thousand times a day. They really are upset with me this week because I haven't been letting them go outside in the 101 degree temps. Aren't I the mean momma? I have broken down and let them go out at like, 8 pm, and it's still HOT outside. We have to play in the kiddie pool and with the water hose, but it gets some of their cabin fever out. Poor things...we're ready for a cool down. I find myself looking for distractions like I have to do in the winter and fun new things to do.
Carson is talking a bit more, which is good. He has also discovered bugs. And he LOVEs them! It's a cute, all-boy fascination. I love having a boy, it's a lot of fun. I had no idea what it would be like but it's a blast. He went outside and "helped" Dustin & Uncle Rawhide shovel some dirt in a hole they were working on filling for our water line to the shed. He knew just how to hold the shovel and really wanted to help. I thought right then, I've lost him. As soon as he's big enough, he's going to be Daddy's project helper. He just loves that kind of thing and he has a lot of patience for it for his age.
Emmy is talking even more than she already was......if that's possible. She uses phrases and some sentences. It's funny how they repeat stuff because one of her favorite phrases is "oh gosh." It's really cute. She is really into babies right now too. She always tries to give them some juice from her sippy cup and she will walk around with one on her shoulder (or a stuffed elephant) and pats it, saying "baby." So cute. She is going to be a great helper with the new baby.
I don't remember if I mentioned, but we are done with bottles here! Since turning 18 months, we gave up bottles, cold turkey. I just took them one day and they never asked for them again. They could see them on the counter but went right for the cups. Now, cups are "ba-bas" here. I am glad that went smoothly! I should get a pass on something, right? :-)
We have been trying to get the spare room/office cleaned out for the nursery.....it's...going. I need to do more but haven't felt like it. At least I'm not moving a whole house while extremely pregnant with twins this time. One room we can hopefully handle. My mom has been helping me some with it, so I guess we'll get it done eventually.
Well, I'm off to get some rest...tomorrow is church.
