Back to Blogging, Hopefully...

I am so sorry about the long delay in blogging. It's not that I haven't wanted too it's just that I have been so busy (Christmas, work, being a mommy, cleaning house, etc) and pre-occupied (awaiting & preparing for baby's arrival). I haven't even had time to download our camera and get our Christmas pictures uploaded. I promise I will you just have to bear with me. I pick my own schedule but January through March are very busy months for me and with baby # 3 due on February 5 I have had a very busy December and January so I can get my "required" work done before I go on leave as my co-worker retired and we have not refilled his position yet so it is just me. Also, both Benjamin and Ada have had a fever. Benjamin started his fever last Friday and was over it by Sunday, now he just has a cold (runny nose and coughing). Today Ada started a fever so we have no idea what tomorrow will bring. I am supposed to go to Vermillion tomorrow for work for meetings so Daddy might be home with the kiddos again.

I enjoyed my 3 day weekend and I got a lot of cleaning done (still more to do). Can you tell that I have started nesting? We are getting so excited to meet this baby! The only thing we are really struggling with is agreeing on names for both a boy and a girl. We are convinced we are having a boy and I thought we had our "boy" name picked out but after talking about baby names with Dave the other day it isn't so. Also when I say we really cannot agree on any name for a girl I am not exaggerating. If anyone feels inclined to comment on suggested names I would appreciate it. I have not been sleeping well so in turn I am exhausted and don't want to do much of anything when I come home from work. We have a dr appt this Thursday and we are having an ultrasound because I have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy and to check estimated fetal weight. I have been having strong Braxton-Hicks contractions quite regularly this past week so I would suspect to see some movement or change but only time will tell. The plan is to take Benjamin and Ada along with us to the ultrasound. Benjamin keeps asking how many more naps till his baby comes out. Ada loves hugging and kissing the belly/baby. She is just so cute when she does it. This evening Ada was tickling the baby and the baby would respond by moving or kicking which would egg her on. It was so precious! She kept asking where his/her other foot was so she could tickle it.
