Not to forget baby #3
Baby in belly is getting bigger now - about 3 1/2 inches, or the size of a lemon. The baby apparently can make faces and may even be sucking it's thumb (and since it's a Heer baby it probably is. For more info see: http://www.babycenter.com/fetal-development-images-14-weeks
Here's what the belly looks like in a tight fitting ensemble.

Cold Weather=Homebound
Although I actually got out of the house quite a bit this weekend (dinner with friends, hair appt., work, Tastefully Simple party), the kids were cooped up all weekend. It was just simply too damn cold to even transport them from one location to the next.
Even with my "happenings" I did spend the majority of the weekend at home with the family. When you spend that much time together, inside, you get to really see what the kids are up to and in to.
So, here's a little breakdown of the kids and what's new:
CECELIA:
*Never wants to eat * Constantly singing and dancing - still * Bugs her sister * Likes to play on the computer (this is new) * Has lots and lots to say, whether it's a real story or a made up story * Is in to dress up * Reads lots of books *Pretends to be teacher * Likes to give and receive backrubs * Mimicks Mom quite a bit - in language and behavior
The funniest part of hanging out with Cecelia is just waiting to see what she's going to say next. As most of you know, the mind of a 4 year old is quite imaginitive. As we speak she is telling Delaney to "quiet down because she's trying to make her grocery list".
DELANEY:
* A little parrot - will try and say whatever word you say last * Eats a ton * Loves to do anything her sister is doing * Very cuddly - but mostly with mom.....* Mommy's girl * Wears socks on her hands * Walks around with her eyes shut * LOVES to brush her teeth * Likes to look in between her toes and anyone else's who will let her * Plays with baby dolls * Spins in circles until she can't stand up * Doesn't like strangers
This is a big age for growth and change and we're enjoying watching her transition from baby to kid. Right now she is both.
Oh, what fun.

Undecided
Okay, so the baby "name game" has begun in my head in the last couple of days. Now I don't know if it's because I've been coming up with more girl names, or because I have only experienced girl babies, but I got the feeling today that I am carrying a girl.
For anyone who says they know the gender of their unborn child before finding out, I hand it to you. I also think it's a shot in the dark.

Heavenly Day
Just an ordinary day - Cecelia to preschool, Delaney and I to the bank, gas station, car wash, etc.
When we got home after picking CeCe back up she had a whole song about her and 3 friends from class that she made up. It was actually pretty good.
Delaney has figured out that her finger fits perfectly in her nose. She doesn't do anything with it, just smiles and laughes because it's a new funny trick.
The girls are napping. There's a 13+ week old baby in my belly.
Heavenly day.

Communication.
A lot of things got me to thinking of this topic: my reaching out to a new friend, the last post I wrote, Bonnie's latest blog and conversations between myself and my children (at different ages) as well as my husband, friends and family.
Communication between Moms is so important to me. Sharing and comparing the excitement as well as the bumps in the road. If it weren't for that I would probably never get out of bed.
Speaking what's on our mind - whether it's a random thought, or something we've been rolling around in our head and heart for days.
It's how we change our style and tone depending on who we're talking to. We speak freely and openly with our family. We pour our hearts out to our spouses. We laugh and really say what's on our minds with our friends.
We teach our children the art of communication as soon as possible so we can use that great tool to help understand eachother.
I guess it's just necessary to make the world go 'round.
