today

...trip to ankeny to see my parents....
...ate 4 donuts from the best local shop (not at one time, but i guess that's no consolation)...
...had a good time, thus still have not told them about home birth...
...sigh...
...boys played in swampy yard, found mud puddle in area where we are trying to grow grass...
...new pregnancy symptom, patch of varicose veins on right calf, are feeling like pins and needles...
...exhausted.

that's the day.

NOTE: will somebody please, pretty please, tell me how to shrink that photo in the banner so it doesn't take up so much room? i'm not that tech saavy....
NOTE II: the "three" in the blog description indicates mike, jack, and benjamin. yes i'm still sure we're having another boy, but i have no proof. yet if we do have boy #3, i guess that "three" will change to a "four" :)
