Updates...boring

I really swore I was going to do better at keeping up on this whole posting business!! But my life is just so boring that nothing seems worth writing about. We are at 16 weeks as of today with the pregnancy. I have had almost no morning sickness for the last two weeks and I'm really hoping it is gone. But I guess we'll see. I am finally getting some energy back and have actually been contributing around the house again. I am sure Brandon is more than happy about that. He has been a saint. He has done all of the housework and laundry for the last 3 months without complaint. I have to say the house looks much better than when I was doing it!! We have a dr.'s appointment next week with Dr. E for our 16 week check up. Unfortunately we don't get an ultrasound this time. We are bummed about that. But we have gotten so spoiled its probably good to kick us back into reality!! So we won't get to find out the sexes until our November appointment! :( My little update I get from baby center says the babies are the size of an avocado right now. And about 4 1/2 inches long. The next three weeks they will go through a major growth spurt. I have really started to pop out this week since Monday. I know I need to post a picture but I don't like any that I have!!! Maybe I can get Jen to take one for me soon.

The boy keeps coming home and asking if the babies have come out yet. He is at the stage of asking really obvious questions and I really don't know what answer he is expecting to get. I think sometimes he talks just to hear his voice. He is loving Kindergarten and seems to be doing really well. He really likes his teacher and his classmates. Even though a few of the boys in class seem to not be the best influence on him. We have really had to correct some of his attitude and sayings at times. He is so impressionable. It is crazy how well peer pressure works. It is just the beginning to what we will face in the teenage years I am sure!! Our newest saying form the boy is," When I grow up I'm going to shave all the hair off my head so that I can be bald." When we asked why, he said he just wanted to feel what it was like not to have hair, and did we think people would laugh at him if he didn't have hair? I really wonder what goes through his head at times. All that I can say is that he takes after his grandpa (my dad) and that when he grows up he is going to be very smart and very creative.

The girl is flourishing as well in 3rd grade. We just got a progress report and she is making all a's. We are so proud of her! She is still really excited about the babies coming as well. She is making all sorts of plans. She is still my girl with her head in the clouds. I found her the other day in her bedroom painting when she was supposed to be doing homework. When I asked her why she wasn't doing homework, she just told me she got distracted what she saw her paints. And then today when I told her it was time for bed she said she didn't hear me because she was distracted by the book she was reading. She is so my child. I just have to remember to be patient and remember that I was just like that at her age. I love that girl.

My saddest news this month is that we traded our car in for a dreaded minivan. I knew I should of never said I would never own a minivan. But it was our only choice. I think I cried for about a week about it. It was not a good week. But it is a really nice one. We go a new honda odyssey. And when we were getting it I had low blood sugar and was feeling very hormonal. So the poor sales guy had no chance to talk us into anything. I think I shot down about everything he said. I really didn't want to get it. But in the end we got a killer deal and the van has some really nice features. I can only live with the fact that we are doing this for the twins and there is no way 4 kids in car seats would fit into my jetta.

If you have made it this far I am impressed. This is what happens when I don't post I do a post that is like war and peace. Hopefully this has helped get you ready for bed and you will sleep soundly...
