Halloween

We didn't really plan on Halloween this year. Being due on the 28th we thought for sure we would either be in the hospital or would have just returned with our newest bundle of joy.

Luckily we were able to pull it together pretty quickly. My old neighbor and dear friend Dani brought her daughter and a couple of her Bulgarian girlfriends and their daughters over. Orli was a butterfly and Ilana was a poodle. The girls had a lot of fun and practically went to bed in their beloved costumes.

Ready to start anew...

I was in a pretty down place when I put the blog on hold. Unfortunately I can't say that things have gotten any easier. In fact, our nights with the girls took a horrible downward turn since September 5th and we haven't really had a decent night of sleep since then.

However, together Darin and I put together a plan, have decided to stick with it, and are seeing some progress. Overall, though we are more sleep deprived, we are happier people.

We also bought a minivan. I went on maternity leave and paid some bills, made dinner, did laundry and bought a dresser from IKEA. Tomorrow I'll drop off dry cleaning and return overdue library materials.

My due date for Baby C was yesterday. I'm convinced that he/she wants us to get our shit together before making his/her grand entrance.
