Let It Snow????





We woke up this morning with a little bit of snow on the ground. The girls have been aching to wear their new princess snow boots, so I gave in. I sent them out to play in the snow at 8:30 this morning. I'm not sure how long it will last - it's supposed to be clear and a bit warmer the rest of the week. It is cold, but the girls are having fun. Right now it is 8:55 and they have only been to the door once to tell me it is cold. I thought they'd be in for the day by now - they never cease to amaze me!
Correction - it is now 9:01 and they just came in for the day.

Oh Baby!


For those of you who didn't know we are pregnant! It came as quite a shock - we had to go on fertility drugs to have the twins and I was actually planning on going back to our doctor to get checked out at the beginning of next year. We had our second doctor's appointment yesterday and had an ultrasound of our little one - I did have an ultrasound at our first appointment, but I wasn't as far along as I thought, so it was kind of a bust. I am ten weeks right now and on this ultrasound we could see the baby's arms and legs - the baby is head down in the womb and you can see his or her little limbs. I kept telling Jeremy yesterday that the baby looks like the dinosaur from Meet the Robinsons with its big head and tiny arms and legs! We are very excited! We will find out what we are having in January. My due date is June 10th.


When I went to pick the twins up at my friends house after the appointment Whitney said, "So, is the baby in the car?" I guess she thought I was having the baby today. They are so funny! When we first told them we were having a baby they kept telling Jeremy they wanted a sister. Gracie actually told me she thought baby brothers were stupid. But now, Jeremy has warmed them to the idea of having a baby brother. Poor guy - he needs a little testosterone in the house. Of course we will be thrilled with either a boy or girl! My mom said that the third child makes things crazy. Thankfully the twins will be almost 4 1/2 when the baby is here and are already telling me what a big help they will be.
