weekly thread and topic of the week 3/31 through 4/6

Hi, I have not participate much lately so I guess I can join now!

Sex - well, considering I have started some "no sex" threads in past - things have chaged!! I am actually really enjoying it now! It's really easy to get horny with something moving inside. As weird as it sounds. I have NOT had that with my first. I am starting to think I will even have a sex drive AFTER the baby is born. I am not sure if it's the fact I am having a girl and she is producing some female hormons or my body or whatever, but it's working!
And my DH is happy too. Even with my big ass.

Spring YES please!! 2 weeks ago we had 90F!!! It was awful anf humid!! : Then it dropped to 28F!!! Now it looks like it made up its mind and we finally have some normal temperatures around here! It's gorgeous outside and I am excited to get out finally! so is my dog and my DS

My dad is coming to visit from Europe in less then 3 weeks so I am hoping to go up to mountains few times.

#1 comes and goes, depends whether i'm tired or not.

#2 i love the outdoors. we've had the windows open for awhile now with the exception of a cold spell last week. it's been in the 70's the last few days. been taking 1/2 hour sunbath's the last few afternoons.
i mowed my yard for the first time this season last week. i push mow (not self propelled) 2 acres which i split into 2 days(4 1/2 hours total). We own 3, but the other acre goes up a mountain. i love mowing; it's a great way to get some alone time and still watch the kids, great exercise, and a nice way to get a little sun. plus, when i finish i feel sooooo goood (mentally it's nice to complete a task). my kids will all follow me for awhile and when the grass grows faster and thicker i'll mow path's/roads for them to run on.
oldest has started baseball so we've been practicing a lot of that in the yard.
just more of what we've been doing all winter except we're barefoot and have tick checks.

Sex??? What is that?? heehee! No, I've actually been enjoying it a lot more recently. My biggest problem is my darn sciatic nerve!! I try different positions, but my favorites cause some major pain. Argh. Oh well, it was like this with Seth too.

Spring...what is that? I am SO sick of the cold and rainy weather!!! It is rainy and about 52 right now, that is what our forcast is for the next week or so. I am so sick of it.
However, when the sun does peek out, Seth and I walk to the park and he swings and slides. I can't wait until we can go and have Saturday picnics in the park. That is one of my favorite things to do with my "boys". It will also be nice to be able to go visit Emma for more than 5 minutes because it's so cold! I love spring and summer because I can sit on the grass and just be with her, it is really nice.
What else?? Um, just playing with my family and friends. I've started taking Seth swimming a couple days a week. It's an indoor pool and he loves it. So, it will be nice when it's warm and we can swim outside...but that won't happen until probably June-ish.

1- we're in the once a week club too for the most part. DH's been very good about letting the mood hit me and not pushing the issue which he occassionally does when i'm not pregnant. if this pregnancy is anything like my last one in this department, i'll get more and more interested up to the point of birth and then the poor man is going to have to suffer the drought b/c i get so touched out from newborn nursing that i have no interest whatsoever for months.

2- DD's fav outside spring activity is currently sidewalk chalk. i am still debating the merits of a veggie garden this year, as someone will have to take over it's regular care and maintenance after the twins arrive for a good bit of time. but i at least want to get out into the beds and dig in some compost for the soil, even if i just mulch it and wait until next year to plant again. the pool opens at the end of may and i will be so ready for it by then. just opening up the windows brings a different energy into the house which is great. it seems to have settled into the 70s here so i am looking forward to some good weather (not too hot) for a couple of months.

We're in the "not very much" club. At least right now. If this pg is anything like the last, I'll be more interested next month. Right now, it's a little like going to work - I don't mind at all once I'm there, but getting motivated to go is not so easy. It's a bummer sometimes - I WANT to be interested, but I'm just not.

Spring, on the other hand, I am interested in! It's finally been a little bit nice around here (though a late April snowstorm is pretty common). We have to tear down our garage and put up a new one, so I don't dare do anything with the yard until that happens (so probably not at all this summer, to be realistic).

Our next door neighbors are selling their house, and they have an open house today, and I am fighting the urge to go over there and scope out potential neighbors
