.Silas and I got home from a little outing just a bit ago. He is already deep asleep in naptime. I realized that the poor baby had not been out of the house (except for the pizza run a few days ago) in over a week! Between sickness and snow, we've kept him in long enough. He and I really needed to get out today. So we ran to Target, where we browsed all things baby. Then we stopped at McDonalds for lunch. He sat in the booth right beside me and ate his whole kids meal like a big boy. We had such fun. It's days like this that I want to last forever.

I am 19 weeks this week. So technically, I'm probably a bit over halfway to our due date (praying we get to 37 weeks). I am feeling the babies move more, which has been a lot of fun. I am in kind-of a clothes crisis because none of my pants fit. My old pants are way too small, and my pregnancy pants don't fit in the hips yet and want to fall off. But I'm making it all work. It's the least of my concerns.

Speaking of clothes, I think there's going to be a little girl who will not be having any kind of clothes crisis at the beginning of her life. I've found some super cute things on the clearance racks lately and have started a tiny collection of pink...
.I decided to update our blog look yesterday. It's funny, I do not look at anyone else's blogs much. I read their posts in my Google Reader and rarely actually visit their sites. I forget that you can make blogs look so cute. So anyway, I found this template that I liked and a few minutes later, it was done.

I told Shane that I love the new look. It's everything that I want life to be: simple, reflective, quiet. Right now we are in a season where those words describe life around here. It's calm. So I'm soaking it in. I'm taking the minutes I have to think because this season is a gift. And I know it's just a season. The Lord promises the seasons will come and go. In just a few short months, our season will be anything but calm, simple, and quiet. Two babies and a toddler do not add up to lots of minutes for thinking. So I'll reflect while I have the chance. It may be years before a season like this comes again.

Oh, and I really like the new layout. I, too, oftentimes don't see others' layouts until it's time to comment. :)
Yea for cute belly pics! I was going to start pestering you for one... :) Praying for your sweet babies, and for Silas to be prepared to be a big brother - he will be fabulous! I loved your videos in the last post as well - Nate was so impressed with Silas saying his ABC's!
You look beautiful and so excited! Memories, memories!
You are smart to savor these days. You are such an organized person, you will do just fine! Enjoy these last days of one on one time with Silas, but don't worry about him adjusting to the babies. He will do great and be such a great big brother.
Oh, I like your new blog look. I was amazed at the choices when I started mine a few weeks ago.
We miss you guys!
Blessings,
Tracy, for all
