Just some thoughts...

Well, I've been feeling really good the last few days. I think our baby girl has dropped and now I can breath better. I also feel like maybe I have hit the nesting phase because I am not nearly as tired even though I don't sleep well at night. I also have been getting things ready for the baby and I feel ready now, which is nice. This time when I go into labor will be so different from the others. All three of my pregnancies have been so different too. The first one was hardly noticeable until all of a sudden at only 35 weeks we had a boy and we lived a block from the hospital so it was a quick trip. The second one I was huge but not uncomfortable, I was actually in the hospital when they were ready to come and it was a C-section and Ryan's Dad was here so we already had care for Owan. This third one, (I shouldn't complain some have it much worse) I have been uncomfortable for most of it (until now at 34 weeks), we are going to a hospital 45 min away, and we have to make sure our 3 kids are taken care of when we go. So different...
Clara is officially a walker! After ever meal she goes straight to the shoe drawers to get her shoes. It's very cute. She brings one over to me and says "help me, help me." Elsie still likes to have a hand to hold but she is getting more brave. Owan was just introduced to play dough and has fallen in love! It is so fun to watch him enjoy new things. Of course he had to taste it once but he is old enough that I don't have to watch him constantly while he plays with it and that is so nice!
Another exciting event happening...Ryan and I are going on a date tonight! :) We haven't been able to do that in awhile so I'm excited. Granted, we are planning on going dress pants shopping for Ryan and then dinner out but hey time alone away from kids is great no matter what we do and we always have a good time. :)
A random thought...I realized the other day that in May it will have been TEN YEARS since I graduated high school! Anyone from my class who reads this, can you believe it?!! It's amazing to look back and see what has happened in those years. Wow!
I guess that is enough rambling for one day. :)

Have fun on your date! Glad things are going well and hope that you get lots of "nesting" done before the baby comes.

Ohhh.....enjoy your date night! We are continuing to pray for you all! Everything I'm sure will come together! Yeah for the twins walking!! I love the fact that Owen likes play dough! Every kid should have the fun experience with play dough! We miss you! Hope that you continue to feel better and that you can get all your "nesting" stuff done!
