Waiting for Spring.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring here. We've had a few nice days with 40 degree weather and even one day when it was 54! The next few days are in the high 20's, possibly up to 30, but after that we've got 40's and 50's supposedly coming our way. Hooray! Even though winters here can be brutal I don't think anyone can fully appreciate the arrival of Spring unless you've lived somewhere similar. It will be a beautiful thing.

Here is the progress of baby boys room. Next project is to move my sewing area downstairs. I just got that cozy chair and I love it. Next up: curtains.

The boys found it completely hilarious when I told them their baby brother was naked inside my tummy. Miles also asked how the baby was getting out but I managed to avoid going in to too much detail :)

Nora really wanted to ride her bike around the block and normally I insist she and Sophie go together, but Sophie had taken a spill at the playground earlier and had the breath knocked out of her and hit her head so she didn't want to go. I let Nora go alone for the first time and after a few minutes I went to the front window to watch for her. As she was biking down the road I could see she was sobbing and I ran out to her, she'd hit some ice and crashed her bike, she was even wearing long pants and still got this scrape. Poor girl.

My girls went out and shoveled our huge snow banks out in to the street so it would melt faster. I usually do this every year but my sciatic nerve has been acting up with this pregnancy so luckily I have my girls to do it!

On Saturday we went to a nearby garden place that has a big greenhouse. It was great to be nice and warm for an hour! The kids were having fun picking up little centipedes and playing with them.

And a belly picture at 24 weeks. I am so excited to meet this baby boy. But I'm trying to enjoy every second of this pregnancy and every move he makes, since it may be the last time!
