Pretty in Purple

So a new week!  It was so great to be back at Mass yesterday and confession after missing two weeks from being sick.  I know those graces will definitely help me have a better week!  I can't believe next weekend is Palm Sunday!  Only two weekends away from Easter.  Right now I'm doing some on-line shopping for the boy's Easter baskets.  I love shopping on-line - it's so convenient and easy.

Good Friday we are heading down to my sister's for the weekend.  I'm so excited to meet my nephew and be there for his baptism on Easter Sunday.  My mother will be there as well and it'l be nice to be around family again.  We are coming back Monday or Tuesday after Easter.

My sister and her husband are moving to Seattle this summer.  I'm going to miss them and miss not being able to see Michael grow up.  :(  My brother-in-law will be working as a religious educator at one of the Catholic churches there.  Hopefully we'll be able to visit them sometime.  I still love the pacific northwest and all it has to offer.

Well, Juliette is pretty much all on a bottle now.  She will nurse at night and I try to pump once or twice a day for her so she's still getting some breast milk.  She loves her food and gets fussy without it.  Kieran has decided to start peeing in his pants again.  I think he's too lazy to tell us he needs to go and keeps playing until he can't hold it any longer.  Hopefully he'll get over this phase quickly.

I am about 9 weeks pregnant as of today and I feel pretty good other than being hungry and tired often.  I also lost a few pounds which has made me feel better too although I know it'll be back sooner than I 'd like.  I think after Easter I'm going to set up an appointment with my midwives.  Although I want this baby to be a girl, my gut feeling is a boy but I'll be happy either way.  :)  Juliette is getting big too fast and I know when this little one is born I'll be ready to cuddle a newborn again.

Well I best get back to Easter basket shopping.  We took a bunch of pictures yesterday of the children so I'll post a few of those later.  oh!  Btw, one of my sisters was getting annoyed that I have such old pictures of the children on the right side of my blog.  It's not my fault!  I would love to put updated pictures of them there but every time I try it says my picture quota has been filled and it won't let me upload any new pictures there!  So I'm kinda bummed but there ain't much I can do about it.  Just incase you were wondering....

Have I mentioned that I am so smitten with this little girl?
