Holy Grapes!

The babies are getting big... Today, at 9 weeks, they are almost an inch long and the size of grapes! Last week they were kidney beans (is food just easier to compare them to?) but that wasn't nearly as cute as grapes, in my mind. I'm picturing them purple, leftover from the blueberries I s'pose. I'm definitely getting a lil belly, as well as a big ass and size D's. Nothing fits and I'm wishing for a muumuu. But I'm feeling great ... still spotting a little bit ... but they are staying put, doing their thing. And that is a good thing.

My mom arrived yesterday, safe and sound, albeit a little bit nauseous. Her aisle~mate was a puker and she had a 2.5 hour ride with quite a stench. She was happy to breathe the cool, crisp evening Denver air when she finally landed. She and Gavin are home now, while I'm blogging working and we have big plans for this weekend. She's going to come with me to volunteer at Tyler's school in the morning, while he still refrains from death by embarrassment at grownups from his family coming to see him at school. Then home to pack. We've got a little trip planned for this weekend. I'll try to take lots of pictures and share more details when I return home. We're staying close to civilization, just in case, and we're going to see some parts of Colorado that we haven't seen yet. So excited!

My house has never been so clean. It looks clean and smells clean, which is slightly unusual because I use cleaning supplies with few or no chemicals in them. It was SO nice to come home to, though. Even the dog had refrained from pissing on the floor or leaving me a poop surprise. I think he was trying to help us all enjoy our clean house. :) And enjoy we did!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend... I'll ketchup with you next week!

Ahh, clean houses are the best. I love when I come home from somewhere and jon has cleaned-one thing better than having a clean house is one you didn't have to clean yourself! (you can tell him that by the way).
