I finally felt inspired to write this morning.  There is a blog that I read regularly, Moments With Love, written by an amazing mother of NINE (six biological and three adopted) - including, most recently, twin girls born last month.  She wrote again today after a long (and understandable) hiatus.  After reading her short update, I couldn't help but think, if she can post right now, I have no excuse!

Anyone reading this knows, of course, that Baby #3 is on the way.  We are all sooo excited!  Except Blake, but she will be someday.  :)  I ask Hollie sometimes if she thinks the baby will be a boy or a girl (she almost always thinks girl), and what the name will be.  It's usually Tweetie or Daisy.

I don't feel great.  I'm taking vitamin B6 for the nausea, instead of the prescription meds I took before.  I feel pretty queasy, but I'm getting through the day and keeping food down.  I really don't feel like eating anything, except...

I'm craving anything spicy, as usual.  I'm drinking orange juice by the gallon...it's the first and only thing I want when I wake up.  Also, something I never craved for either of my first two...sushi!  It still sounds so weird to say I even like it, but when we moved up here, Daniel convinced me to try it (saying that if you're going to eat sushi anywhere in the US, this is best place), and now I'm sort of hooked.  Nothing raw - ever.  But man, those California rolls really hit the spot, especially now.

My due date...depends on who you ask.  If you count 40 weeks from my LMP, the due date is April 2nd.  Based on the ultrasound we had last week and the size of the baby, the due date is more like April 17th.  Either way, I'm happy - the baby has a chance of being born on my birthday...or tax day!

The girls are doing great, as usual.  Blake is walking like a pro, and she loves climbing into all the little kid-size chairs we have.  She's still nursing, though I can tell my, ahem, supply, is tapering off because of the pregnancy.  She was a bit upset about this at first, but she doesn't seem to mind much now.  She's definitely not ready to give it up, though.

Hollie, out of NOWHERE, has started drawing faces, and asking me to write letters for her to copy.  I know they wouldn't have started on letters at school already...that summer program was more for fun than academics.  I guess she may have seen other kids drawing faces, but I've always drawn faces for her at home, too (she regularly asks me to draw friends and family members).  Anyway, check these out...

The blob in the middle is the kitchen counter.
Hollie is at the bottom, with the big eyes.

Blake is at the top, with no arms, and the only one with hair.

Mommy and Daddy are the small ones in the middle, but I can't remember who is who.

The one on the right does not have a funky mustache - those are arms.

Don't you just love the feet?

       A self-portrait

This is Tweetie, the puppet she made at school.  

Have I mentions that she names everything Tweetie?  
Not like the Looney Tunes bird, but the pet bird in the Berenstain Bears book.
He's been growing steadily more colorful everyday. 

Anyway, here is where the teacher put her name on the back.

She copied it later at home.

It's not perfect, but we were blown away!

Oh yeah, I got our camera replaced!  Yay!  Here are a few others I've taken over the last few days...

 Hollie took this one - it's the bed she made for her animals on a shelf.

Talking about...something!

 Love that tongue!

 Tried to get one of both of us...unsuccessfully.

Yes, most of these are of Blake because everytime I want a picture of Hollie she makes her "scary face".

 Okay, I got one "happy face" upon request.

Caught!

Yeah, this is DEFINITELY not happening anymore.

Love the face though.  :) 

 Somebody got creative.  Her hands were the same.

 Caught again!  Looks like she had help this time.

 This might be my favorite picture of her.

That's all for now!  I have my first prenatal appointment later this week.  Hope to post more pictures soon, too!
