What to do with an extra day?

I was thinking what a wonderful thing it is to have this extra bonus day. Maybe it's time to catch up on my blog briefly in three ways:

Someone I admire:

Baba Dona (our kids do not use the word "grandma" or "abuela"--they've always said "Baba")--she is a saint and she's my mother-in-law. She came and took care of our munchkins for a week AND EVERYONE HAD FUN!!! We love her!




Something I've wanted to do for a LONG TIME:

After planning and talking about it for six years, D and I took a trip to my beloved Dominican Republic. It was CHEVERE! And I left the kids for a week and we all survived. Miracles really do happen (see above)!








An announcement:

Yes, I'm putting on weight. I have a parasite! We have a Squeak, a Pip, a Squirt, and now what? A Peep? We will all meet officially around the beginning of June, but in the meantime, I'd love any in-utero nickname ideas that go with our previous fetuses' names.

Yippee for babies!! How wonderful :) Congratulations all around!
What a great way to spend leap day, an extra day to do things you normally don't get to do! I'm going to have to remember that for the next one 4 years from now :)

peep is good. It's better than the one my boys came up with :-)

Congrats! And....I can't say that Paul and I wondered if you didn't have another fetus. After seeing you at the airport, we talked about it on the way home. I told him you generally don't announce it until it becomes to obvious to hide.

And the DR????? When? And I am so jealous. We were supposed to go in 2011, but, well, you know that NOTHING we'd planned for 2011 actually happened. I hope you brought home some delicious vanilla.

And how about "Squirm" for the in-utero name. :)
