Here we go again!

It's been a while since I've blogged and I have a lot to say, but this week has been CRAZY!!! We went back to 1 nap a day (well, except a couple of days a week) and it's going well. Twice a week they get 2 naps a day and sleep beautifully, the rest of the time, it's one nap a day. It's great! We can do stuff when ever we want, if the kids are extra fussy, they get 2 naps and I have lots of time to get other stuff done if I need it!!!
Our air conditioner also went out this week. Ugh! My parents were here Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning, my dad though the a/c was broken. He went outside and checked it out. It was FROZEN!!! What?!? It's so hot outside, how could it be frozen!!! We also had a play date scheduled that afternoon at 4 with 9 kiddos. Okay, first things first, cancel the play date. I can't have that many kids hot and cranky in my house! Next, call the a/c people. They were great and were here by 2:30. They topped off our freon (sp?) and said we needed to replace our evaporative coil (runs about $2K). Ugh! We decided to just see how long we could go with the new freon. So far so good. I'm hoping it's a slow leak and we can get through the rest of this year without any issues. Otherwise, we'll be buying a whole new a/c. Of course John's opting for the whole unit vs. just the coil b/c our unit will probably go in another few years so he hates to spend $2K now and just to spend $6 in a couple of years. So, he'd rather save the $2K and just spend the $6 now. I just love how is little mind works sometimes. :-)
Okay, and now for the biggie this week. I'm pregnant! About 2 months. The new little bambino is actually due on 3/20 - yes, 3/20 - the twins b-day!!! We've known for a few weeks, but wanted to wait until we had the first sono to tell everyone. And yes, it is just one. So far I'm feeling fine, a little morning sickness, but not bad. John was super excited when we found out, but now he's trying to figure out all the logistics. Where do we put this thing? We don't really want to give up our guest room (we will welcome all the help we can get), but there's no other place for the kiddo. Plus, do we need a new car that will fit 3 car seats? Hopefully not. Then there's the kitchen...we only have 4 chairs, we need another one for the little guy eventually. And am I going to get a triple stroller? The twins will only be 2 when the new guy gets here and won't be the best at walking (where I want them to) at that age. I won't really want to chase after them (in different directions). I told him not to worry - I've already thought of all that and it will be just fine! We'll figure it out (probably as we go, like we did with the twins).

Congratulations Wendy! What a blessing. I would say one will seem like a breeze compared to two, but then again that "breeze" will be overshadowed by the fact you'll have two toddlers running about :) I'm very happy for you and your family!
