March is officially here. Hard to believe that it is the first week and we've already had gorgeous warm days, and then today, snow! I was looking at pictures from last year and we are definitely a month ahead as far as the flowers and blossoms go. It is Spring Break and although it doesn't effect the kids much, it does mean that I don't have to teach dance for two weeks! I am looking forward to the full days off with Sean.
Kids are doing well. Music class finished up last week and Aiden has two more gymnatics classes after spring break. I have no plans to sign them up for structured activities in the Spring. I am looking forward to plenty of outdoor play time and impromptu play dates.
I have noticed that I haven't been taking as many pictures lately. It is hard to get Mikayla to stay in one spot long enough and the older two have more important things to do then sit and smile. The last two weeks I have tried to take a picture of them as we leave for church in the morning. They are dressed nicely and I figured it would be a great opportunity.
This was my first and only try with the three last week.
This week's picture makes me chuckle. Aiden and Mikayla, dressed in matching colors and similiar smiles, then Caileigh, sitting on her own in her own ensemble choice. Always pink!
Babies are growing well, or should I say, I am growing well! I see the OB next Monday and have a scheduled ultrasound for 28 weeks. So far I can't say there is much difference in a twin or singleton pregnancy besides the increased size of my belly. I can't tell if these babies are extremely active or if it is just that one is always moving. I go between feeling starving and completely stuffed. I haven't quite figured out what the happy medium is yet. I am extremely tired but what mother isn't?
I feel blessed everyday for these growing babies and the older three. When Sean and I got married we planned to have two children, a boy and a girl. Here we are soon to become parents to five kids under five! Who would have thought it, but as Aiden always reminds me, only God knows!
I think it's so amazing, and not surprising that this is how it's turned out for you. You're a natural mom, and you have optimism and patience like few others that I've ever seen. I just wish I lived closer to see you all more often. You were such a help to me when Marty was about to arrive, I wish I could return the favour!
