I'm Still Alive!

Hey all!

I'm still alive, really. Things have been kind of crazy around here the past few weeks. All three of us have been sick with allergies or sinuses and are just now getting over that. I'm trying to play catch up now as things got behind while I was sick.

Allow me to take the time to brag on my husband. After not sleeping for 4 days straight, still taking care of Anna, and being pregnant, Mark got the idea to find a babysitter for Anna last Wednesday so that I could have the day to recoup. His plan was complete with a 30 minute massage gift certificate. So, for all you husbands out there, this is definitely the way to treat your wife to a day off. Yeah Mark, you banked 250 pts.

As for other news, nothing much has changed. Anna is still into everything and becoming more mobile every day. It won't be long before she starts walking. She particularly enjoys eating the snow off the Christmas tree, as well as trying to eat the presents. Baby #2 is still growing as evidenced by my already growing abdomen. We'll know more about him/her and a solid due date on the 27th. Or as Mark says, we'll know more about the babies on the 27th. You lose 50 pts. for that comment.

I better get going. I have an increasingly tired baby who wants to go to bed. I just wanted to check in. I'll try to post more often in the future. Until then, here are a few picture for your enjoyment.
