True Love...

I think I've truly reached a new point in my life. My view on love has changed....perhaps to be more in alignment with that of a child's. But, then again, sometimes being a pregnant woman in her 3rd trimester is like being a child all over. Thankfully, Danny is catering to many of my whims. Here's some of the wonderfulness that has gone on lately.....

• Danny rubbing my hugely swollen belly with calming lotion, etc.
• Danny rubbing my back/hips whenever they hurt.
• Danny getting up with the munchkins on the weekends so I can sleep a little more.
• Danny replacing the kitchen faucet.
• Danny folding all the laundry in the house.
• Danny running to go get me a snack late at night. (Or ordering one to be delivered.)
• Danny offering to get someone to scrub the baseboards for us.
• Danny encouraging me to buy some new stuff for the baby.

Some people want hugely romantic gestures, but I'd say that rubbing my feet would equal that these days.

Inspiration

In all my interneting (is that a word?), I came across a recent source of inspiration. So many of my friends are busy mommies that I am amazed by them. However, I think I have found a clear winner....Becca Edwards! I realized that if she can consistently, thoroughly, and humorously blog while working on her dissertation AND successfully raise 2 boys under the age of 2, then I can at least be better about blogging myself.

On that note, if you don't know what's gone on in our lives since I've last posted, then that's OK. No lengthy catch-up notes here. Just jumping back in with two feet.

I'm (we're?) 32 weeks pregnant with a boy and planning on meeting him some time between the end of March and the beginning of April. Other than the fantastically hot cankles I'm growing, nothing huge to report on that end. Poor little Ava is about to have her world rocked....thank goodness she's enamored with her big brother.

More to come in the future, along with the possibility of some humor along the way!
