Yikes! I have been slacking when it comes to my blog. I have so many posts I want to do yet it feels like I have so little time. Maybe it’s because I have regressed from the second trimester and all I want to do in my free time is sleep. Or maybe it’s because for some reason I’ve gotten super busy at work and haven’t had time to write my posts during the day lunch. My plan at work was to coast until the babies got here but apparently I’m the only one on board with my plan. I’ve been dreaming of prescribed bed rest so I can leave work in the dust and focus on the blog, Netflix, and a few good books but I think my boss would still find a way for me to work from bed! I should also be grateful that I don’t HAVE to be on bed rest which means I’m still doing good as far as the baby cooking is concerned.

Last week, Zeus and Jack, went up to Page for the week with Luke. They had the best time ever. Luke was diligent about taking them on adventures every day and they were pooped each night. I was kind of looking forward to having a week completely to myself but by Tuesday I was face-timing Luke while sobbing because I missed my boys so much (Luke included). The original plan was for me to join the boys in Page for the weekend and then bring the dogs back with me Monday morning but the entire week leading up to the Page adventure I kept dreaming about having to stop for gas on the reservation and having some psycho cut my babies out of me (crazy, right?). Luke could tell I was stressed about driving all that way by myself so we vetoed the trip. What is happening to me? Am I a wuss or are my maternal-worry-about-everything instincts kicking in? That is to be determined, but here as some pictures from the boys’ adventures in Page:

This week, Luke took Jack to Page and left Zeus for me. Jack is the happiest pup on the face of the planet. He has Luke all to himself for the week and doesn’t have his little monkey Zeus hanging on him at all times. It’s probably a great thing for Jack to get some quality time with Luke before the boys come so I’m glad it worked out. On the other hand, I love having Zeus all to myself. Since there are no other options for his attention, by default I have become his favorite. He has been such a sweet boy and follows me around the house wherever I go and sits on my heel whenever I’m standing. I love it!

Jack and Luke are very active together:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke even took up repelling with some of the guys he’s working with. They repel off the bridges they build and explore all over the area.

 

 

While Zeus and I take a much less active approach to our weeks together:

 

This weekend we’ll be heading to Tucson for the last time before the twins arrival, can you believe that?? I’m not allowed out of Maricopa county starting next week. My Aunt Karen who lives in New Hampshire is visiting. I haven’t seen her since this time last year when I was getting married and now here I am knocked up with twins! What a difference a year makes eh? My brother is going to have everyone over at his house and we are just going to hang out by the pool and get down on some Eegees! I am going to attempt to make this, but my penchant for taking 3 hours naps at any moment may prevent this from actually happening.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I quasi promise to get a bump update and a freaking Hawaii post up soon.
