Pregnancy Lapses...A Heartbeat...and a Few Pictures...

So I texted Chris to get the mail once he got home last night. When he walks in he asks if I got the mail...so I get all irritated and I'm like NO....I asked YOU to get the mail. And he says, "Well that's just it, there was no mail, which is weird...are you sure you didn't get it already today?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot, I did."

=) =) =) Not only did I forget that I had already checked the mail but I was ready to be all irritated at the fact that he hadn't!

I just thought the trees looked awesome this past Saturday when we woke up to the snow/ice on the trees.


I never noticed the difference size wise between Ayris and Asher...I mean, I knew they were only a couple pounds apart but I can see in the picture below now that Ayris is far narrower...down to her tiny butt (compared to his) and he's broader in the back/shoulders as well. Isn't it weird how male/female bodies just know how to form accordingly??
The kids have a real penchant for watching Chris feed the lizard. Now that the kids are older and are requesting feedings, Lucy is getting far more attention/food than she used to. Don't you love how Asher is just completely undeterred by the nasty worms and the (in my opinion) gross warm smell that radiates from that lizard cage...and is just chomping away on those Pringles while he watches??

Asher in his ball pit that his aunt Kristen got him for his birthday.
The cats are more of an annoyance to me these days (they need to be shaved as they are leaving their hair all over the carpets which leads to way more vacuuming...BUT the nice mama that I am...I'm trying to wait until it gets a little warmer outside before doing that AND Sophie is an idiot who likes to howl and meow really loud at only two times of the day...right as we're going to bed and EARLY in the morning...OH and she climbs onto the windowsill and opens all the blinds so the sun shines in...AND Sabine likes to sleep on my head...which is also annoying...I'm already up 5 times a night to pee...I don't need another thing waking me up...but I digress on the cat complaints) BUT I thought this was a really cute picture...
The kids dressing themselves one afternoon.
Complete with Asher's new bright orange Crocs...

And Ayris in her brothers too short pants...and her new Mary Jane Crocs that she has already torn the straps off of!

In some of Asher's new shirts...Ayris likes to wear his clothes...including his new character underwear. Meanwhile, Asher likes his toes painted pink like Ayris, glitter care bear tattoos, Barbie DVDs, and wearing his sister's bright pink coat...so I GUESS it all evens out.

I thought Chris would appreciate the back of these shirts.

Blogger for some reason doesn't allow for audio clips so I had to put Adler's heartbeat in as a "video"...so you'll see an ultrasound picture in the beginning and then it will disappear but the heartbeat will continue. I uploaded two videos as one of the recorded heartbeats was a little clearer...not sure which one at this point.

And this video is of the kids singing their favorite song, You Spin Me Round...although, instead of the lovely version that they got used to hearing on the radio, they now prefer Chris' Marilyn Manson version...YUCK!
