Things are coming down to the wire and there's much to do and much exhaustion. Today we had our 5th ultrasound and baby is doing well. They only measure weight every third week so we didn't get any reading on that, but she scored 8/8 on all the things they measure. The NST was a lengthy one because she and I were sleepy and they wanted to see her move, but I took a bit of a nap during it so that couldn't have sparked much action. Two more days of the quarter and I am very ready for all to conclude, though I am grateful for the slow down that occurs at the end of the term, even if it also means ramping up for the new one. I've still got stuff to do for my long term sub, as well as things to try and accomplish for the science class. We'll see what is possible and what is not.

Quinn is back to school this week after his spring break and making the adjustment alright. He's a bit worn down, I think, as a couple break downs last evening point to. He went to bed fairly early though so hopefully tomorrow morning will be a chipper one. He had his favorite mashed potatoes last night so that was sweet:) He's all about any kind of fruit snack lately, which is fun and remains a devoted fan of his bars. He likes his new round of spring shirts, none of which are Star Wars, so we haven't had to flip shirts in or out for school. He has a new green shirt that he is very fond of and Luke found an old Millenium Falcon pin that he wears with it. We have cheap dragon figures floating through the house because of the new Dreamworks picture. Hopefully they will find their way into the garbage pretty soon.

Life is pretty steady with the family as we head into life with 4. We go to school together, Luke picks us up, we sit on the blue bench (out of chronological order, by the way) and get Quinn in his school shoes as opposed to his outdoor shoes and then Luke and I make a typical stop at Caribou for my drop off. Life with the Honda accord is going swimmingly and we love driving about in a whole car. The two beater cars that were occupying our drive way are gone and that is a mighty relief. We got another key for the Honda this past weekend, so for better or worse, we probably won't have to do anything for the Honda until an oil change. It's nice to have that security and reliability with the car.

I love listening to Quinn chat to himself. He had a new Star Ward pop up book and he is very funny about reading it to himself. THis evening he was watching a little Star Wars on Luke's phone and then was humming/singing to the theme song while I was in the kitchen cooking and Luke was cleaning his monitor. I popped in to watch him and he became a little shy, the sweet boy. He is a pretty regular hummer or singer and when you ask him what he's doing he says, "just talking". Funny kid. I took Quinn to speech last week for the first time. Luke is normally the point person for that; his therapist is a chipper and happy woman and Quinn seems very comfortable working with her.

Now that the rooms are switched up, we've fallen back into our routine of who sleeps where. Though it looked like Quinn was going to spend some more quality time in his crib, as a few lengthy naps indicated, he is clear about sleeping in the big bed with Mommy. Right before a baby arrives hardly seems the time to kick him out and lose that quality time, so we will adjust and hope that #2 likes the crib:)

Alright, I should try and get some sleep and the red light is showing on the battery icon above so that's a clear sign too. Loving my family so very much- as always- and beginning to have those slightly anxious pangs about labor and the upcoming pain. Oh well. It all ends in a fabulous new child:)
