Chili

Yum! That's for dinner. Nothing like chili to welcome fall!

Today has been a day of domestics...ok, laundry...but it was enough to keep me busy all day between folding/switching them around and caring for the 2 kiddies! Got a nice long walk outside with Rachel and Brad too! People watching us might think that we are crazy, because to keep the busy and moving, we kick our legs, we skip, we hop...And we sing every kid song I know!

So you want picture updates, do you?

Then scroll down on the right to where you see the name Alison. Go to her blogging page and view the pics from our day at the zoo last Thursday!

Ha ha...Thanks Alison! We all had a great time and Brad was asleep by the time we got on the service drive. Rachel fell asleep about a mile later. So, I got some mommy music time, you know the time when you are in the car NOT listening to Apples and Bananas and other kiddie songs!

1st Doctors Appt

Had my first appointment today. I am already in my 9th week. 25% down! But really, I am not counting. No need to hurry this sweet bundle along!

I talked with the doctor and it sounds like I will need another c-section. Oh well!

A Rachel Update - We are attempting to be "sapie" free. In other words, the pacifier has got to go! Whenever I have attempted to do this in past, she flips out and cry hysterically. Well, earlier in the week, she had it in her mouth and I told her that I have had it and I was throwing is away. She quickly went in to a crying fit and after holding her and telling her that sapies are for babies and she is a big girl she settled down. She took a bit to fall asleep that afternoon for nap, but she never asked for that dear sapie. That night, same thing. Hopefully we are well on our way to getting over this hurdle!

On a scrapbooking note, I went last night to my scrapbooking league. It was pretty fun and it felt good to be working on some of my Rachel pages. I got 6 pages done (3-2 page layouts), of which one was pretty plain, one fancy and one prepared page kit. I kind of have the itch to scrapbook tonight, so maybe as Jamie does his homework, I will scrapbook. (It would be convenient, because I have been too lazy to take my scrapbooking stuff downstairs!)

J-O-B

Just one baby!!!

We had the ultrasound this afternoon and saw one baby and heart a healthy heartbeat! If I knew how to work the scanner, I would put the picture up, but seeing that I don't, you are out of luck. To be truthful, you can't really see much! Another good thing is that I am pretty much right on the mark for my due date. I calculated April 22nd and the ultrasound said the 20th.

For those of you who may not know, twins run in my family. So, I was anxious to know if we were having one or two!!!

As much as 2 would be a blessing, one is just what we were looking for! Jamie is at ease now!
