claustrophobic

i have to admit that coming home to six hundred square feet (give or take 25 feet) has been a bit tougher than i thought it might have been. i think we are over this apartment. we have loved it for a long time... okay, we are a month shy of two years which really isn't all that long, but for us it about as long as we have lived in any apartment since getting married... but gives us a break. when we moved in we had a four month old... now, we still have a four month old plus a two year old. thanks to some folks from the church, flowers brightened up our living room. then, we decided to move the coffee table down to the basement until we move at the end of the summer. that is only four months away since today is the first of may..... include something big almost every month until september 1... and it will fly by i am sure.

it has been gorgeous here. we played in the park all day yesterday and today. we got more sun on our faces here in two days then we did in five at the beach in california. it was nice to get away, good to be home, but will be great to have more space....

Having spent two years in a 500 square foot apartment I can only empathize a little because we didnt have two children. Its bitter sweet. When its gone you will have such fond fond memories! xooxxo P

four months? how did that happen so fast?

i can definitely relate to that claustrophobic feeling. i have longed for spring more this year than ever before, it seems. we've been climbing the walls big time all winter, ready to break free from the confinement of apartment living here.

so excited for you guys and for the journey ahead in d.p. many, many blessings (and more square footage!)

(hope to see you soon too!)

(maybe because we didn't have a stroller and didn't have to carry anyone!!)

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
