What's Up

So, my last few weeks of posts have been sporadic at best. I'm sure you thought there was a "good" reason like having had a baby or something, but no. I'm still here. I am kind of consumed with lots of things all having to do with this little baby that I am so ready to meet. This picture, taken today, shows just how big we are both getting with 2 weeks (give or take) left.

I have actually never taken a belly shot of myself with either of the two pregnancies.
This was a big step for me.

The day after Thanksgiving I found a killer deal on fleece so I decided to make some cuddle blankets for when we moved the "big kids" to their bunk beds. Here we are and I'm just now getting them finished. They both love the prints on them, even though you can't see them very well. Isaac's are trucks and Kate's are bugs. I learned a lot from this little experiment in fabric choice, but the kids really do love them and that's the point.

Kate is saying "cheese," not chewing out her book as it appears.
Her hair is also really "full of static" (since I don't know if staticky is even a word).

Today we actually managed a trip to the library. The bigger feat, though, will be remembering to return or renew on time. I contribute to the library in the form of fines more frequently than is a good idea. The library is expensive for us.
Lately I feel a lot like Doug the dog from the movie "Up": very distracted. It seems to take me forever to accomplish something like cleaning the kitchen, because I leave to put something away in another room and remember something else in that room that I was going to do. I even went to my Dr. appointment with the nails painted on one foot because I couldn't finish the job myself then got distracted when I went to ask Steve to help. It's okay because I know the end of this pregnancy is close and I can laugh about it.
So there you have it: proof that we are still around and trying to make good use of our time.
