30 Weeks

July 9th, 2011 by Aubri

30 weeks 6 days along. Now come trips to the doctor every two weeks. This point always makes it feel like “we’re getting close!”. And I suppose we are. Everything is still going well with baby. She moves a lot all day and Phil is finally getting to feel her too. It seems all our babies get shy when Daddy gets close but sometimes he is able to sneak a thump or a kick.

I’m feeling pretty good but my energy is running very short these days. This week I seemed to go through an energy spurt, a little “nesting” phase. But my accomplishments were kept to those daily chores that without energy just keep stacking up. So nothing exciting, well, it was exciting to feel “normal” for a few days but I’m back on the couch this afternoon with back pains and no energy…and piles of laundry to fold.

When I get some free time I’m beginning to go through clothes the girls wore, sort it, start washing and getting ready for baby girl. I figure I should get to some of this now instead of waiting, plus it’s gonna take me a while to figure out how to get clothing etc. for 4 babies in one closet and set of drawers! There’s much to be done, but isn’t there always!

Flashback Friday: Reading With Daddy, Then and Now

July 8th, 2011 by Aubri

A couple months ago I snapped these pictures of Lily and Phil.

She loves reading books, it was a precious moment and it took me right back to one evening 3 long years ago.

Remember this?! Sigh.

Can’t stand the sweetness!
