surviving winter and pregnancy

it is my due date.....

we have come to one conclusion: we will not be naming baby girl ADA.
it was top of the list until yesterday.... when one friend thought, "um.... i ate a sweet." really....it never once crossed our minds.
i am bummed.
i loved the name and thought it sounded lovely. no more.

here are some fun that the boys have been up to:

making music


making homemade brownies with chocolate peanut butter crisp topping and marshmallows. yum!! i could have eaten the whole pan! seriously.









finally getting to the children's museum

We experienced the same thing. A friend called me in the hospital and said she and her boss were having a great laugh over Harrison Diehl. "You know, big fat Harry Diehl!" I cried for two days and named him Harrison anyways.

Ok, one more thought. Your daughter will have two big brothers to stand up for her, lest anyone tries to tease her about her name. PLUS she will not have the last name "Sweet" forever. So, if you really love the name...
Can you tell I take this whole issue very personally???

If it helps, we all voted for Ada. And, by the way, R is wondering if you want to trade babies with us--your girl for our boy. She's really going to have to get over having another brother!

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...
