Life During the Pregnancy Coma

While I can't complain about this pregnancy in the least (because this time has been so much better than my last two) I still must admit I've been in a haze-ish coma and I feel like so much has happened and a good two months of life has passed while I've been completely content laying on the couch. 

I've been able to function pretty well through out the day (assuming I have my constant snacks and get my nap while the boys take theirs :) but right around dinner time I start to get really nauseated and a wall of exhaustion hits, so my nights are pretty useless as I just lay on the couch and roll into bed. But luckily, about two weeks ago I really started to come out of this fog and now I finally feel a little more like myself and a bit more productive.   I feel almost normal. In fact, the other day I actually felt my stomach grumble... usually I feel sick and eat something before I even feel hungry. 

Anyway, here are some things that have been going on around here the past couple months.

Easter, of course. Those pictures would have overloaded this post so that will be next. It's way overdue, but the boys looked too cute to forget about.

Linc-o's 2nd birthday.  That will be a third post.

We painted the bathroom and re finished the bathroom cabinets and got a new mirror to hang. Oh and a new light fixture that Ben had to rewire to hang higher on the wall.  I still haven't taken an after picture of it. :)

We also touched up the laundry room. The dry wall had random holes in it and was crumbling at the base. Ben fixed all of that and we gave it a fresh coat of paint and new flooring. 

Here I am at 11 weeks.

Boys racing their Hot Wheels... one of their favorite things to do.

Pretty sure he thought this was a bulb syringe. Don't worry, that did get washed. :)

Logan played Spring Soccer and loved it. He really wasn't great at it, but he had a grand time running around kicking the ball here and there.  Here he is during their practice time kicking a goal.

And here's a video of his first  practice where they started off doing jumping jacks... right. It's pretty funny to watch preschoolers attempt to do jumping jacks.

Logan made this potato head and gave it to Ben saying that he "made it to look just like Dad."  What? Can't you see the resemblance?

13 weeks along

I love it when I walk in their room to see this. 

Logan goes once a month to the MOA to a Vangogh to Playdough workshop that they hold. It's free and fabulous. The kids spend a few minutes looking at a current exhibit then they get to craft about similar topics. Here I think he was building a habitat for his animals. 

And of course a Saturday's not really a Saturday without a doughnut the size of your head (from Provo Bakery of course).

Ben took Logan to Big Guys Little Guys at the library. The theme was something to do with Outer space Heroes. So he went dressed up as a Jedi Knight and came back with a face painted like Darth Maul.  Lo was in heaven. 

We've taken the boys ice skating a couple of times and they love it. 

Well, actually the first time they went Logan hated it. And we weren't going to take Lincoln the ice at all, but he was throwing a fit to get out there, so we got him a teeny ice skate rental and put him out there and he LOVED it.  He just scoots around at his own snail pace.  Once Lo saw that Lincoln was having a grand time he decided to change his mind.

Ben was gone on business for a week back in April. One of those nights I took the boys on a walk before bed time but Logan couldn't leave the house without the essential light saber and jedi cape.  He was light-sabering bad guys the whole walk. I love his imagination.

And once day Lincoln started doing this weird thing that we nick named "The Ray Charles" because, well, he looks like Ray Charles. And Logan has no idea who that is so he calls it "The Charlos". 

And that's a wrap.  It hasn't been too exciting around here but I love the little things that happen everyday that I just don't want to forget.
