I am a sucker for romantic comedies, so I was really glad to see this film though it is entirely forgettable. I was going to write more about it, but then I had to go take care of the children, and it has been over a week since I started this post with some profound thoughts I had about rom coms in general and this particular instance of it but it just doesn’t sound as interesting now as it did then. I also went to see Sherlock Holmes yesterday and it was nice too.

Chris brought an article about sleep and crying babies to my attention. It is very true. More so, even when Owen isn’t crying I am listening to the noises. It was like that with Trevor too. In fact, until Trevor was big enough to get out of his bed and walk over and wake me up, I was always listening for him in my sleep.

Even though I am not going to have a good night sleep for another two years, I am really enjoying spending time with my kids. We went to the pool this morning and Trevor loved it. I spent some alone time with Owen in a failed attempt to go to a thesis defense a girl in my lab was doing. Both boys are asleep now and I miss them though I am exhausted.

I am getting back into Mom at Home mode. I have gone to a drop-in at the Early Years Center and Playgroup and Stars and Strollers this week. I missed the Story Time at the mall, but that was because I had a doctor’s appointment. I had a Belly Dancing class too, but I don’t know if that counts since this was a kids free event.

I am doing well, but that is because I had help around the house since Owen was born. I do have a mommy brain. I can’t really think of anything other than my kids. Oh right, I did go and check out the store that sells cross-country skiing equipment, but I am not at the point yet where I got anything I am currently missing, so I don’t know if that counts.

There are 11 weeks left until the baby is due. I am so nervous! We have been thinking about names and so far Owen seems to be the best liked.

When we were thinking up names for Trev, I wanted to give him a Croatian name, but it was just not practical to give a Canadian kid a name no-one can pronounce. I liked the name Trevor because it was very similar to the name Davor, which is the Croatian name I wanted.

For the new kid, I didn’t have any clue until Chris suggested Owen. It is a bit uncommon, which is partially why we like it. On further thought, it sounds like Croatian name Ognjen which, now that I think about it is kind of nice.

Not that my made up equivalents make any difference whatsoever, but it is kind of nice to think that my children’s secret names are Davor and Ognjen.

I was on my own this week. I missed my two boys terribly. I’ve get the third one to keep me company though. Trev is back today too and he is super cuddly (well, more cuddly than he was before which was not cuddly at all).

I think a week on my own did me good though, despite its utter lack of anything going on. It was nice to just be quiet for a week. I did get some chores done, though not as many as I had hoped.

There is a holiday tomorrow and Chris will be return so we’re back to crazy-go-nuts schedule. I think I am ready for it. Not as if I can not be 😉
