I suck at blogging apparently

I really stink at blogging lately.... maybe its the lack of time to myself. Probably. But I'm certainly not complaining. I blogged more when I was working, because I was bored at work. And I'm certainly NOT bored at home, not even for a minute. The girls keep me going from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed, and its fun (for the most part).
Can you believe I'm half way done with this pregnancy already? I can't! I'm already 20 weeks, and its gone by so quickly. Baby is moving around a lot and my belly is looking pretty large. As for weight gain, it hasn't been a lot at all, but I'm feeling huge and large.
Our Halloween was nice, Lily dressed up as a bumble bee, and Julia was a ladybug. My little bugs. I call them "bug" or "buggie" all the time, so I think the costumes were appropriate. I always have a really hard time getting pictures uploaded on my blog, but I'm guessing more people have seen the pictures already, and if you haven't, email me.
Thanksgiving is next week, and the girls and I are planning a week up in Rochester to visit my family. I'm thinking we'll leave on Tuesday, and come back on Sunday. It really depends on Miss Julia and her sleeping routine. We've all been pretty sick the past couple of weeks, the nasty cold virus really took its time going through each one of us. Julia seemed to be affected most, at least when it came to bedtime. I had her all weaned off the bottle, but then gave it back to her when she got sick, because I was desperate for sleep. She'd last a couple hours in her crib, then it was into our bed for the remainder of the night, and she'd toss and turn. Ugh, I was so tired. Luckily the past two nights she has slept better, been up once but quickly went back to sleep in her crib, so I'm happy. I'm just hoping she gets back into her nice sleeping routine before we head to my parents, or its going to be a long week!
Lily is doing pretty well, actually right this moment she is in time out, but other than that, she's been doing well. She absolutely loves school, her teachers and all the children in her class. I'm so glad she took to preschool so well I had a parent-teacher conference last week and her teachers talked about how soft spoken she is, how empathetic and gentle she is... I'm sitting there thinking to myself, who's child is this? Because this certainly isn't mine. Lily is the farthest from gentle and soft spoken when she is home. At least she's doing well there!
Paul has 4 weeks left at the academy. I really can't believe how well its going. He is doing so wonderfully with everything. I'm counting down to his graduation on December 14th. I'm so proud of him!
