I think today is a good day for nest-building ;)

I woke up at 6:15 to empty my bladder, which seems so small lately... can't go back to sleep. All I can think about is doing laundry, touring the hospital, picking a name, labor, getting the bassinet back out... YAY! Honestly I was worried for awhile there because none of my normal racing thoughts had kicked in yet! I am trying my hardest to just relax and wait so as not to awaken the entire house, but I want to CLEAN! I'm so glad there is a nesting instinct otherwise my house would look like total crap when the baby arrives. The pains of pregnancy are not motivators for cleaning to be sure. Yeah sure Josh could clean, but he'd clean like a guy (bless his heart for helping regardless). Guess I can kill time with a blog! This huge rainbow appeared right before sunset after an entire day of thunderstorms (haircut day). It was a nice treat :)

Yesterday Noah and Josh woke up early to take his car in for some new rims (an early b-day present). They went out to breakfast and Josh took Noah to WalMart and bought him a few little cars, one of which looked an awful lot like Daddy's car that Noah found himself. The coolest one changes colors and Noah soaked a few hand towels enjoying the miracle. Tristan slept until 10am for me and then we just kinda hung out and had a leisurely breakfast. He's becoming a master with the fork and spoon. I still can't tell if he's right or left handed... he switches during meals. Maybe he'll be ambidextrous!

After that we all went down to the Augusta Canal again by the Riverwalk and Amphitheater. It was actually pretty cold thanks to the wind. At one point I thought I was going to get blown over! Noah thought it was the greatest thing ever, of course. Tristan was perfectly content to stay in the carrier and point at ducks and seagulls. He also did a whole lot of giggling as usual :)
Noah's awake now. I think that's enough to at least clean the kitchen. Awwww look at him with his little shaved head and big baggy footie PJ's :) hehehe... "Mommy, I was going pee. Can I have a cereal bar?"... OK haha.

I love the photos. I have never caught a rainbow like that, it's beautiful! Ember switches hands when she's eating & coloring too! I love when they are able to use utensils. It makes things so much easier!

I definitely nested with both pregnancies too but with Ember it kicked in later. Your due date is just around the corner!

I really love the boys haircuts. They look really nice. Your getting to that stage of nesting and cleaning. Fun fun! I really didn't have to much of that with Leah. Who knows why. I think I washed all the clothes up like a couple of weeks before she came. Not much longer till baby comes! I can't wait to see the little guy.

Recently I have been religious about checking your updates. I don't know what it is, but it is totally something I look forward too. I miss you.

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
