This Week.

It has been a good week, despite the fact that Sean has been out of town since Sunday. I was initially nervous about it being just me and the kids...all day, all evening, all night. I always look forward to the moment he walks through the door in the evenings, both because I just love when he's home and because it's much easier to have his help with dinner, baths, and bedtime. It turns out that I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to think about him not being here to help, but I definitely miss him once the babies are asleep and I'm really alone!

I have been having fun with Instagram this week, which is an App I downloaded for my phone, and Sean has enjoyed following along with all of the pictures I take throughout the day. These pictures were all taken yesterday. We stayed busy and really enjoyed the warm afternoon!


Daddy returns home tomorrow! We can't wait!

    I LOVE IT! I need to download instagram ASAP! I know you'll all be glad when Sean is home. You've done just fine Mama! BTW-I've got cute Easter ears you can borrow for Ethan if you want. Caleb wore them last year but I'm sure he's outgrown them and wouldn't leave them on anyway!

    This totally makes me want an iPhone, which is unfortunate seeing as how I'm not due for an upgrade for at least another year lol! Love that G actually smiles for the phone camera! :)

Decisions, Decisions...

...but I think I've made up my mind. I've been going back and forth, back and forth, practically since I started blogging 3 years ago: Public or Private blog? I've decided that since I share quite a bit about my family, and share lots of pictures of my children (some watermarked, most not), These Little Moments will now be a private blog. I've never felt comfortable with the fact that there are literally hundreds of photos of my daughter, our family members, and now my son posted on the Internet for anyone and everyone to see. For those of you who would like to continue keeping up with Gracie, Ethan, and our family, let me know! I will send you an invitation to the private blog. I'll still be following along with your blogs, just not publishing publicly on my own anymore. I'm going to go ahead and make the switch at the end of the week. And to those who I know are following along... Just expect an invitation! :)

The end is near.

My husband is confident. He's determined, speaks his mind, and lives for a challenge. If you tell him something cannot be done, be prepared to be proven wrong. I rarely see him get nervous, for any reason... almost. My 38-week appointment was this morning. As usual, Sean and Gracie were with me, which I love. I was anxious to get to this appointment because I started having uncomfortable cramping yesterday evening, which then lasted through the night and even into the morning. I've experienced a few other "preliminary signs" of labor which have led me to believe that we're coming up on the end here. After talking with the doctor, he offered to check my progress and strip my membranes. This is when I got a little tickled, even as I was sitting on an exam table naked from the waist down, with nothing but a paper sheet wrapped around me. As the doctor began to describe the "stripping of the membranes" process, I had my eyes on Sean. His expressions were...

Hilton Head.

I was feeling heavy. Overwhelmed. Tired. The combination of sick children, sleep deprivation, and very little "me" time was starting to push me down a bit. I don't like feeling that way. I want to wake up with a smile on my face. I want to feel motivated and light . Our Hilton Head vacation arrived at the perfect time. Packing was a nightmare, but once our car hit the highway, I felt it... Freedom . It didn't matter that I was taking a sick child along, or that I was still going to be sleep deprived. Those things are easier to handle when you get a change in scenery, especially when that scenery becomes blue skies and an endless ocean. As we do each year in January, we joined Sean's dad and step-mom for a winter get-away. The weather was kind to us this year. Gracie loves the beach. She runs, and runs, and digs, and even plops down long enough to enjoy the change of scenery for herself. Ethan was unsure of the cool sand, but even he seemed to appreciate the fres...
