Almost here...

I had my OB appointment yesterday and, much to my surprise, I'm 3cm dilated. Wow! I've never been that this early before. Due date is May 7th, but maybe this baby will come along a little earlier. This pregnancy seems like it has been the longest pregnancy in history and then now all of the sudden, it's here and I don't feel like I am ready. Three kids! What am I going to do?! :) 

It's gonna be a great adventure...

The Kiddos

Sophie

- She is anxiously awaiting her trip to Washington D.C. ( & so is mom, but not for the same reasons:)).

- She has aced every one of her spelling pre-tests for the past several weeks, meaning she doesn't have to take the big tests on Fridays. She is very happy about this.

- She is going to church camp this summer and she is thrilled about it.

- I can't believe how tall she is getting. In September she was 5' 2", I believe, and she has definitely had a growth spurt since then. It's crazy.

- She amazes me every day with her sweet spirit.

G.G.

- She gets funnier and funnier every day.

- She is beginning to put two words together. She says "mama's juice", "G.G. juice", "bye sissy", "bye, bye G.G.", " down bath" ( after dinner). 

- She can identify her eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair, head, arm, leg and now neck. 

- She refers to animals by the sound they make. If she sees a cat she says " a meow" , if she sees a dog she says " a ruff".

- She LOVES her sister. If Sophie is down in her room, she walks around yelling in a loud voice " SISSY!". It's really cute.

Angel baby #3

- Kicking and moving like crazy.

- I think I've gained about 18 pounds so far. Monday is my next appt. and I know I've gained this past month.

- I can't sleep at night anymore. Not only do I have to go to the bathroom about 42 times every night, I'm having crazy pregnancy dreams when I do sleep. I'm sooo uncomfortable! 

- This poor baby doesn't have a nursery yet. We are just going to get a bassinet for our room and not be too worried about the room just yet. 

- We just can't wait to meet our newest little blessing!

Tired

Oh my gosh am I tired. I keep having to remind myself that I am pregnant and that sometimes being tired or sleepy, even though I had a perfectly good nights sleep, is normal. I hate it. I have things to do. But mostly , I feel like I'm being a bad mommy to my girls. I've been working to get G.G. off her bottle, but not today. Today she has had as many as she has wanted. I'm too tired to fight it. Too tired to try and find things to distract her. It's not really cold here today and we could have gone to the park or done something fun. I want a nap so bad.
And I always feel like mother of the year when Sophie comes home from school and I am still in the same pajamas I had on when she left in the morning.

Tomorrow will be better.

UGH!

My body does not handle pregnancy well. I haven't been taking many pictures of the kids and am not feeling at all creative at the moment. I don't just get morning sickness. It is all day every day. So I'm gonna be on a little bloggy vaca for just a little bit. Please ya'll, don't leave me for good. Maybe this baby will give me a little rest after the first trimester.
