Survival mode

I'm sure all of you at one time or another feel as I'm currently feeling. Like you're living day by day in "Survival Mode". These past few weeks of existence have been pretty much that. Existence. Surviving. ;-)

Not much to blog about because between our school and work schedules and me feeling like death warmed over, we haven't done much.

But I do have some CUTE pictures of my little kiddos, so here they are. I can't believe how big the girls are growing. Joanna looks like such a young lady in the pic with me and the girls, huh?! Not like the toddler that she is. I also love the one with Joanna playing guitar hero. She watches Josh (or me sometimes) play and has learned how to hold the guitar and "strum" the notes. She's our little rock star!!

Jaclyn has been walking for about a month and a half now, and she's really cruising. But she often starts running too fast for her little legs to keep up and then she trips and falls. Her falls are so hilarious to watch!!! That's probably not a nice mommy thing to say, but when she falls, she does it right!! ;-)

Fred Meyer's had a big fat sale on all Radio Flyer bikes so we got the girls one. Joanna's is a tricycle and Jaclyn's is one of those toddler bikes that they scoot with their feet. It even came with a bell and tassles on the handle bars. And the weather is warming up so we've been able to take them outside almost every day (well, when good ol' Ellensburg wind isn't HOWLING!) and practice riding. Joanna is really getting the hang of it, but Jaclyn doesn't have that much interest. Jaclyn rides hers for, like, a minute, and then she's off...you guessed it...RUNNING away!!! She'd rather practice her short distance sprints than her bike-riding skills.

It's finals week at Central so Josh and I are getting through that. Well, more so me, actually! Josh had his first and only final this morning, so he's already done. I still have two more later this week plus two papers due by Friday. Yikes!!! Mmmm, maybe I should be studying instead of blogging!! Nah. Who likes to study?! Blah.

Also, I am nearly 13 weeks pg so that brings GREAT news to me!!! It means that I'm almost out of the woods with the nausea/fatigue phase. Hip Hip Hurray!!!! I am SO ready to feel better and to start liking food again! I told Josh that the minute I'm feeling better he has to take me to the Olive Garden! ;-P Oh yeah, and I also told him that this better be our last baby 'cause I ain't never doin' this again!!! (But you just watch me...I'll be eating those words within the coming year. I said the same thing after having Jaclyn and then I'd go somewhere, see someone else's baby and get baby fever all over again. Yes, yes. I AM insane.)
