Fortunately, I'm not miserable. Somewhere in the late 2nd and early 3rd trimester, I was pretty miserable physically. Baby girl has been mostly kind these last few weeks, thank God. I've had a handful {like 4 over 5 days} of contractions and nothing else really going on. Each day I wake up and know this could be the last day home with just 2.
This morning I woke up at 6:00am due to
She decided she was hungry pretty early and asked for pancakes. So pancakes it was going to be. I don't make box mix pancakes. Never have. It's easy enough to make them from scratch and she was excited to help!
You know when you tell your kids, "This isn't a restaurant. You get what I fix." ? Apparently, this IS, in fact, a restaurant when making pancakes. Lily likes sprinkles in hers, Andrew likes chocolate chips, and George and I like blueberries. I did make a few extras to freeze for Lily since she's the only one who eats breakfast with me at home during the week.
While Lily watched a little bit of tv, I worked on a print for the baby in her room and a little banner to hang on the bassinet at the hospital. Mind you, the guys were still asleep all this time. Must. be. nice.
I can't find my 2 inch circle punch to finish the banner, so that's driving me crazy. I used it for Lily's birthday party and I have no idea what I did with it. Hopefully I'll be able to find it. Ugh!
The kids and I are going for ice cream this evening since we have a rare evening home with nothing to do. Lily keeps asking Andrew and I what kind we're going to get and making sure we're getting her daddy some too. :) I love that she's sweet and considerate. I'm getting Snappy Turtle, by the way.
Saturdays will soon be filled with the early days of a newborn baby, so today I'm enjoying the peacefulness with my first two babies doing simple things that are happy things.
