What day is it?

The days are melding together and I don't know why.  Summer heat...vacation...changes in our lives...or pregnancy.  I like to blame everything on the pregnancy.

Or maybe I just feel off because my doctor changed my due date this week.  I hate when they do that!  Looks like we'll be having these babies a week earlier than planned. Although, I can't say I've done a whole lot of planning, because with multiples, well...you just never know when they're going to make their entrance.

I haven't been feeling very well.  I was hoping to turn a corner at 14 weeks, but nope.  Doctor says I need to slow down...take it easy.  If you know me, you know that's impossible.  I'm not a napper, I don't go to bed super early and well, I'm just stubborn.

So, my goal today is to take a nap.  That's a huge goal for me.  But, I know it will make our evening so much more pleasant.

12 Weeks

Here it is folks.  As much as I hate to document visually the hugeness of this pregnancy, I know you all want to see it.  And I'm sure some day in the very distant future, I'll want to see it too.  Maybe.

The shelter I work at has a volunteer nurse.  She's wonderful and as caring as any nurse you've seen.  But, she keeps telling me I'm going get very large.  Yes, I know...thanks for reminding me.

To celebrate this 12 week milestone, we're painting our house.  It needs to be done, so we're using the last bit of vacation time that we have to get it done.  Here's the progress so far.

 Scraping the house to prepare for painting has taken two days.

The new shutter color.  Like it?

Oh...and I would be remiss if I didn't mention our wonderful weekend in Lake City, Michigan.  We enjoyed the Greatest Fourth in the North for a fifth time since we moved here.  Although, I have been going for 29 years.  Here's a few snapshots of our visit.  Let's just say the camera didn't make it into our hands as often as the sunscreen.
