Natural History Museum (Again)....

We went to the Natural History Museum last Saturday. It turned out to be pretty good exercise for the two year-olds, who spent about 45 minutes running laps around the reptiles upstairs. Some pictures:Cheesy smiles (I prefer their real smiles, but oh well):Another:I haven't been doing a very good job of chronicling what we've been up to lately. We've been doing fun things...just not within reason. Our previous goal to keep one full day a week 100% devoted to family time has morphed inadvertently into an entire weekend of family time. Which has been GREAT....just not really very practical. I have been feeling a million times less easily fatigued and exhausted than I was in the first trimester, so I have kind of been forgetting that I am pregnant, but honestly I really don't think I am able to get by even now on minimal sleep and still function normally. The pregnancy excuse for needing more sleep is legitimate! Now I have tests (when do I not have tests?) again, and family coming into town, and....I cannot keep up. Later I'll write about Matt's birthday, our fun date, the hideously edible cake I made him (hideously edible is kind of my specialty in the baking department). But for now, I have to get back to studying. Blood test this week, guts test next. In between, drugs for worms, fungi, poisons, cancers and bacteria. Then rectal/GU exams Valentine's weekend, and a comprehensive physical exam test the next. I am tired.

Did I mention I'm tired?
