I really haven't been too motivated to post lately. Perhaps it's because I have nothing to talk about. I haven't really done much, or gone anywhere, so I feel that nothing I have been up to is post worthy. I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow afternoon. I have decided to bring the girls along since 1.) Annika loves the doctor and 2.) she is so into baby Bennett lately. I thought she would love hearing his heartbeat and chatting up the doc. She thinks that whenever anyone has an owie, they need to go to the doctor. It's pretty cute. She is also soooo in love with her baby brother. She talks about him all the time and how she will help when he gets here. I think she loves him more than Bianca! Well, he's not here to bug her yet, so we'll see.
She's also been hitting a language boom. She's using her pronouns like a pro and saying things I've never heard her say before. She surprises me every day, and I'm very taken aback by how mature she's getting. She really isn't my baby anymore. It's so exciting to see her developing so rapidly, but it's just going way too fast.
Bianca is also getting to be sooo big. She's walking a ton, still crawling a lot too though. She loves diving onto my belly and giving me hugs and kisses. It's so sweet. She has also just started to sit and read books. I seriously thought this kid would have no interest, EVER. Annika has always loved books and has always known how to turn the pages and babble the words. Bianca, not so much. But now she looks at them, turns the pages, feels them for anything interesting and does this for quite a while. It makes me happy that she does this now. She's really starting to listen to what we say and ask her. She knows what she wants and points to it and says several words. Today she said ball over and over again when we were playing with the ball popper. Too cute.
I'm doing ok. Just waiting for a call back from the nurse on an issue I won't post about. It may be TMI for some people. I don't think it will be a big deal, but we'll see. I've been having contrax on and off for several days, but nothing that I think would constitute a call to the doc. I'm sure she'd say different though. I will be 31 weeks tomorrow, so even closer to that 36 week "safety" mark. I'm feeling better about all of this as the time goes on. The nursery is getting close to done and we have a few clothes in the closet. I'll be having my "sprinkle" in a couple of weeks so I'm excited about that. I get to see so many of my friends that I haven't seen in ages. That will be a highlight for me. I've also been scrappin' like crazy. I think I've turned out around 10 pages in the last few days. I think that's my way of nesting when I can't do anything. It's like I need to get caught up in the girls' scrapbooks before Bennett comes.
Well, that's about it for me. No pics or anything to share. I've really been slacking in that department too! Have a great day!
I'm excited to see you soon too! It seems like it has been way too long since we have all gotten together.

The girls really are getting so big! It was great to spend time with them on Tuesday.
Hope you get good news at the Dr. today!

Glad to hear that you have been scrappin. I haven't had a chance to sit back down and do anymore since last week, but I am excited to.
Hope all goes well with the doc.
The girls are going to be so good with Bennett. It sounds like Annika will be quite the little mommy. I think that is so sweet.
I am in the process of writing you an e-mail, but I still haven't finished it. I am working today, so I will do it then. :)

10 pages, are you serious?! I must be the world slowest scrapper. But I probably would have to actually sit and scrap to get something accomplished. Maggie was the same way with books she'd rather flip through them herself than listen to you read, but she's getting better.

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you! Hang in there, chica!

they do grow up too fast! enjoy the girls while you're not as mobile. (maybe a silver lining?) good to hear - read - from you! hope your smallish issue is nothing.
