Our blog is a long-distance love letter.

It's raining here in Seattle. You might think to yourself--why point it out? Doesn't it always rain in Seattle?

Well, it doesn't. And even when it does, it's not enough so that you hear it on the inside. But right now there's a nice sound of rain hitting windowpanes.

It's 10:32pm, and I'm about to head to the bedroom and call it a night. Just spoke with Ian about 20 minutes ago, and he's settled into Hilliary, Francois, and baby Lucas's place.

I actually just got on to say one thing, because I got a second alert that "anonymous" posted another comment. I thought I'd respond.

I've been meaning to update the blog. Really and truly. We've had a very busy couple of months, and it has been great.

What I was going to say before shuffling off to bed is that because I'm on bed rest and have nothing better to do this weekend, I will absolutely update the blog. I even uploaded pictures before Ian took off this morning, so there are no excuses. And all of the running around I may have done--unpacking, cleaning up, running errands....well, it's kind of gone to pot now that I'm storing my blood flow, energy, and whatever else for the week to make sure B's fluids pick back up.

So, I logged on to say--Anonymous! you win! Check back this weekend! (and tell me who you are), but I noticed that not only is the header different (which Ian showed me this morning), but that he had actually written something!

And not just anything! But a love letter of sorts. I have to say that we just hit the 3 year mark, and man oh man. It's been a good 3 years, but it seriously just keeps getting better and better. If these girls bring even half as much happiness and love into my life as Ian and I already have....well. Watch out world. The seams will burst forth from the house.

My love, I'm being good. I've been drinking so many glasses of water (I refilled the Brita 4 times today already!), and since coming home from the doctor, I've been on my feet for probably 10 minutes all-in-all. If that! The only thing I will suffer from at all this week is (1) boredom. And (2) missing you.

But, I am so so so happy you are able to go visit your sister and your new nephew! It's weird to think that a new person has just entered our life for good. That we will be involved in this little person's whole timeline--graduations and weddings and births and such. Bizarro. And that soon there will be 2 more new people to add to the chaos.

I'll just leave you all with a goofy, blurry picture. When I found out I had to have 24-hour bed rest yesterday, and told the doctor we had our hospital tour, she insisted I take the tour in a wheelchair.

So, Ian and I tried to smuggle a picture. There's not a dumber feeling than when you feel perfectly normal/fine, but you still have to be pushed around in a wheelchair. At least I liked my driver. A lot. :)

Nighty night everyone.
