All alone...

in a good way.

I am all alone today. Nobody asking me to get them anything, nobody running around making the house messy, nobody begging for treats before dinner because they are "so hungry!" It is kind of amazing.

Quinn took the boys camping for the day/night and I have now enjoyed about 8 hours of quiet and peace. It is kind of awesome.

I cleaned up the house as soon as they left and it has stayed pristinely clean all day. I made homemade bread, napped and watched a few episodes of Greys Anatomy. It is kind of blissful.

Pretty much blissful...for a very short while:) I really do miss those little ones and all their noise and chaos. I am glad I have many many more years of kids running around, messing up the house and making this place feel like home.

I have not spent a night alone since Jack was born! Life sure changes when you have kids. In a way it feels like I'm not really alone, what with this little girl bumping around inside me. What an active little muchkin!

I have been perusing the old pics on Quinn's laptop here and found this little gem:
I am way excited for this little one on the inside to be this age on the outside...six months, chubby and happy. Also, it will be great to get this body back!!!

A great Pregnancy Picture!

After my last post about never liking pregnancy pics, I finally got a great one!

Look at that little face, doesn't that expression just say it all?

Yeah, pregnancy is weird.

I have looked at my blog a few times and thought, "I should really post something else so the bad news bit will not be first on my page..." but I am so tired when I am pregnant and only get around to the necessities. This is all i can think about:Does anyone out there actually like their pregnancy photos? Maybe if I got them professionally done. I do like this little ditty though:
Probably because those boys are so darn cute! I sure love them. Quinn has been out of town alot lately so it has been lots of time with just me and the muffin men (as i like to call them). And they are so good! They pick things up off the floor and refill my water cup. They play at the park while I sit there like a bump on a log and rarely ask me to get up to help or play with them. (and they are nice when I tell them I can't help them because I don't want to get up!)

Chase is so funny, he does crazy thing like this:
All on his own! and they shower now which helps my back when it comes time to wash them. Cute face.I've been doing more baby-prep. Including another quilt:

The edges of the rounds will fray more as it is washed.And recovering my car seat. Pretty good way to make a blue seat look girly, doncha think?And a few misc: Workouts with daddy...And Easter:

With the priceless egg hunt face:

Only 8 more weeks to go until I have something *really* exciting to blog about. Until then...
