we are back and i am so happy. it's tremendous to have all of our own things and our own beds. ahh... it's great. and it's like christmas around here with the kids rediscovering all their toys they haven't seen for months. it's keeping them very busy . . .
when we got to ithaca, i instantly felt like i was home. which is weird, because california is my home, but there is something about ithaca that is . . . well . . . i don't know. it's beautiful and kinda quirky. i like that. oh, and there's wegmans. sigh.
plus, to return to my friends that i haven't seen all summer is delightful. and there are a bunch of new families who have moved into our little "mormon family housing community". plus, there are babies being born like crazy. i think there are four in september, two in november, and like ten between january and march. it's pregnancy madness around here.
flying back to new york was a piece of cake. it's amazing how much easier it is with josh. amazing. i can't believe i ever flew across the country by myself with three kids. . . three times. i must be crazy. certifiable. i got to sit by oliver, and we read his favorite fire engine book probably 135 times. we would get to the end of the book and he would say "again" and he was just as excited to read it the hundredth time as he was the first time. each page was like a brand new surprise. the guy next to us probably had that book memorized by the end of the flight. oh, and stickers were a lifesaver. taking them off, putting them on, taking them off, putting them on. . . for probably a complete hour.
so, now for my scary thought. i think i'm having twins. this thought, of course, is not backed up by any doctor confirmation, but i got the thought in my head and now i'm just freaking myself out. twins are not at all a part of the plan. it would completely throw off my even-numbered family. i'm showing already, i swear i am. (and don't try to tell me that because it's my fourth pregnancy "you will show earlier" because this is way to early.) my friends say i'm not, but they're just being nice. plus, i've been way more sick this pregnancy. and both of those things are signs of twins.
so what do you think?
girl/girl
boy/boy
girl/boy
?
oh yeah, i have my first appointment on september 8th. so hopefully they will tell me "no twins" and i will have a due date. finally.

oh wow. this could be big. but good...my dad is a twin. has a twin sister...all sorts of fun.
i think it's triplets. then, you could still have the whole even number thing!
PLEASE, show us a pic of the belly bump. PLEASE. I won't stop asking until ou do.
i'm so happy you are happy in ithaca. i'm pretty sure home is where your heart is and that can change, day to day. enjoy it.
and tell roo hi for me. what a ball you are going to have and i'm jealous of both of you. you get to live next to roo. roo gets to live next to you. no fair.
hey, roo....can i get an invite to your blog? are you all booked? i'd love to check into your little family.
oh come on, you can't say "people" are having babies, i want names sistah. names. And please please please have 8 babies in that tummy. we seriously need a new octomom. and when the paparazzi come a'knocking on my door and want me to dish out all the good gossip on the ladle clan...my lips will be sealed. just remember we were friends before you were famous...i'm here for ya.
welcome back to the east coast. i wish we were in ithaca too. one year left...it's going to go fast. hope your feeling well.
Hey Robin, so since we seemed to follow the same pattern as far as children, I say you're having twin boys. I had two girls first, then a boy, and most recently twin boys. I also started showing much, much sooner and I was sick (something I didn't get with the others). They told me at my first ultrasound that there was just one in there; I didn't find out about the twins until 20 weeks. Good luck whatever you're having.
so if you're needing someone to reassure you that maybe it's not twins let me tell ya. With #4 I was SICK! - with #4 I was showing at like 10 weeks! - with #4 I was SO SURE that there were twins in there that when doc said there was only 1, I was like huh? can you check again? and again? So just know that maybe - no, probably - you're NOT having twins, but if you are, hey! you're totally mentally prepared for it. Can't wait to hear.
I think that whole "twins-scare" has come up each time I'm pregnant. I secretly would love twins, but would have wanted them for my first or last. Oh, and I'd want to know before hand to provide a little more sanity spacing. It's totally not it my genes, but you never know.
So glad to have you back! Let me know if we can help you feel better!
that's RAD! i've always thought twins would be fun . . . even though i know i don't have anywhere close to enough patience for them.
i agree with lisa . . . picture PLEASE! i don't think i've ever seen you really pregnant. or did i once when you came to visit rexburg? if so you were barely pregnant.
