Ack! Too long!

Wow, so much time has passed. Obviously things around here have been incredibly busy - we are getting our original house ready to move back into (after being TRASHED by renters for 2 years)... which means basically re-doing almost all the carpet/padding and paint. Frustrating - but it'll be nice.

I'm also getting ready for a baby to arrive in the next 8.5 weeks (wow!) and be a doula for a VBAC client/friend mid-July and a doula for my sister anytime in Aug./early Sept... having a baby shower for my sister next weekend, a birthday party for my oldest, pack and move my house the last week of July - geez, no wonder I'm so tired!!

Things are going great with the baby who is *quite* strong and measuring several weeks ahead of schedule. The boys love the tummy (esp. my oldest who wants me to rock him to sleep for all nap/bedtimes because the baby kicks him when s/he is squished by my holding him in the rocking chair. We have to watch our birth videos soon so that they are getting prepared (my youngest will likely not be there b/c he'll just freak out - he worries about me and wouldn't understand) but we'll prepare them both and see what happens.

My oldest is turning 4 in just a week and a half... I can hardly believe it. How is it that they grow up so fast?

Well I still feel as tired tonight at 5 pm as I did when I woke up at 6 am - bah!
Off to a doula meeting with my VBAC client (so I can meet her husband)... but before I go here's a picture (just a week or so ago):
