And I think it's a much better way to spend his time instead of dropping things in the toilet. So we were both happy!

Peanuts
Ethan found an old book of Peanuts comics today, and promptly curled up in a chair to read it:

You know it's going to be a good day ...
... when, as he's peeing, your child drops half of a Lego man in the toilet and expects you to fish him out ...
... your other child has a messy diaper that is so messy a bath is required to clean him up ...
... and it's not even 7:00 yet!
Happy Monday everyone! :)

Slow Posting
I know I haven't been posting much lately; I'm sorry about that for those of you who check in often. Would you like to hear my litany of excuses? (If not, just skip down to the last paragraph!)
I haven't been feeling well, and somehow I have a lot of trouble just getting the basics done when I feel icky all day. You know, things like laundry (my family seems to expect to have clean clothes every day!), meals (they want to eat multiple times a day! and food is particularly hard for me to handle at the moment), and a little bit of fun one-on-one attention for each of the men in my life. Vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, and washing dishes rank up there with things that seem to always need to be done, too.
We've been busy with a number of things. We're a one-car family at the moment - a car I don't drive - so we ALL go to every doctor's appointment. There's been a number of those lately. I'm working on getting things ready for this weekend, when we're going up to Ginnie's cottage to spend Sunday-Tuesday with Luke and Trisha, Mom and Dad, and Joe and Angie and their boys. I'm also trying to get things ready for the adoption shower/birthday party we're hosting for my mom's side of the family at the end of the month. I'm a week late getting invitations out, but I'm having issues with the little maps I have to put in each one. Then it seems like every week we have at least one social obligation from the people at church. It's good to be busy - it just seems like I can't quite keep up!
So you add in the normal running we all have to do - grocery shopping, shopping for household stuff, an occasional trip to the library - and suddenly it's been four or five (or six or seven!) days and I haven't posted anything.
Ok, that's the end of my list of excuses. I may think of more later. :) But just bear with me - the first trimester will be over Saturday, and hopefully soon after that the morning (and afternoon and evening) sickness will ease up. Then I'll hopefully have a little more ambition!
***ETA - Oh! I thought of something else we've been busy with! We planted a garden this year, and I'm trying to keep up with weeding it. Please notice that I did not say I was keeping up with weeding it, just that I'm trying. Back to your regularly scheduled life now.***

Baby Update
I had my first official prenatal appointment last Monday; here's what we found out.
1. We heard the baby's heartbeat! Strong and healthy sounding (and 160 beats per minute for those of you who'd like to try to guess gender with that little tidbit of info).
2. The doctor thinks inducing will be a good idea, and we'll probably go with sometime the week before Christmas. We don't have a date yet; that would seem a little premature. :)
3. I really hate the scale at this office. Even more than I usually hate doctors' office scales.
4. **TMI Warning for any males who may read this blog**
They have cups that are actually big enough to pee into for the necessary urine sample! It's amazing!

I'm the Bubble Man!
We were all outside Friday evening, enjoying a fire and each other's company, when Ethan decided to get out some bubbles. He ran around in glee, waving his bubble wand exuberantly, shouting, "I'm the bubble man! And I'm traveling with the bubbles!"
Alex and Yellow, in particular, were very entertained.
