The house is quiet at last.
Ahhh....
I love the sound of silence.
I think the boys must be having a growth spurt, because they were hollering early for every feeding today. In the midst of all the chaos, I have to laugh, because I know I will often find myself with a hungry gang of boys on my hands as they grow up. It's a good thing all my mom's cookie recipes make 12 dozen, and I grew up helping cook for a crowd in my own family.
I try to remind myself that a growth spurt is a good thing, even though it throws the schedule out of whack and leads to more fussing than usual.
At least we know the problem can't be the chicken pox!

31 Weeks and a Story About Sweet Amelia
Here we are at 31 weeks. The babies must be going through another growth spurt, because I'm clearly growing again, too. And the babies are not in the best positions right now. When I stand up the weight shift into my pelvis causes me a fair amount of pain -- and causes me to walk like I just got off a horse for the first couple steps!
Yesterday morning I had to use a little extra lotion to ease the stretching skin across my belly. A few hours later I got off the couch to use the bathroom and groaned a bit when the pelvic pain kicked in.
Amelia was busy playing in the family room and looked up at me and said, "Don't worry, Mommy. We'll fix you up."
Jeff and I both laughed at that, and then laughed harder when she went and got my lotion and proceeded to rub some on my belly once I sat down again. My sweet Amelia. She never misses a trick!

Holy Growth Spurt!
I'm living in this body and even I can't believe this.
On Friday night, Jeff said, "I think you've grown."
I've been growing more up than out lately, so my "waist" has been hanging out at 41 inches. But Jeff's got a pretty good eye, so I measured.
I was 42 inches around.
Today, I thought, "Man, I look bigger. Is that possible?"
So I measured.

Yep, that's a 44 on that tape measure. I grew two inches in 72 hours. Beat that!
If you're really quiet, I'm pretty sure you can actually hear me grow.
