ramblings of a pregnant mom

Why? Why your butt AND thighs? I understand the belly, kinda like it. But REALLY, must the other things go as well?

Didn't my body just do this? Why yes, yes it did!

I swear I was never this tired before. Not this early. Is something wrong with me? I could sleep ALL day EVERY day.

I just ate. I'm talking I just ate a ton. I could keep going. I honestly have to make myself stop.

UGGGHHH the maternity clothes! I so don't want to buy new ones. There is no possible way that my maternity clothes from Jessie are going to fly. They weren't cute then, they're not cute now. I HATE spending money on maternity clothes..HATE IT...HATE IT I SAY!

Do you think it's a boy? What would we do? We've never had a boy before. We would have to buy cars, trucks, dinosaurs.

NO WAY is it a boy. We only have girls.

What will we name her? I'm only thinking of "J" names. What if we name her a "J" name? Then Reese would feel left out, we don't want that. Oh, she wouldn't care. Or would she?

What if they still won't let kids come to the hospital come delivery time? I think it will crush me to not have them come meet their new bro/sis at the hospital. We won't have that hospital picture all scrunched together on my hospital bed. I would like the quiet though, quiet is nice.

For SURE it's a girl.

Arthritis is doing better. What if it went away FoReVeR? Oh, what a glorious thing that would be. Maybe I can think it away.

I can feel the baby move. I always love that.

oooohhhh, I still don't feel 100%. When will the nausea be gone for good? I'm really missing my PB&J's.

What will I do while Trav is hunting? FOR A WEEK! I might die of exhaustion. Something IS wrong with me. I'm just soooo tired.

I love the baby stage. So cute. So little. So innocent.

Oh, if it's a girl she could wear those darling booties Peggy made me. Love those. hmmmm where are those?

Who is going to share a room? Jessica/Reese? Reese/baby? Jessica/baby? Baby/us?

2 kids in cribs? I WILL not buy another crib. 2 kids in diapers. I WILL be buying tons of diapers.

Is this really it? Is our family really going to be complete? I think it just might. It feels good. Really good. Exciting good. Next chapter of our lives good.

update!

I am FINALLY starting to feel MUCH better! But while I was under the weather

the kids did a bunch of this: Picking fresh fruit off our peach, apple and pear trees, along with bowls of berries...mmmm.

And our little Jessie does not dress up as much as she

use to, but she still finds a way to put

together some fabulous numbers!

We've also been doing anything and everything Halloween. Our yearly Halloween scavenger hunt at Gardner Village was a huge success as always!

And our cute niece was able to dance in "Thriller" this year and although my husband is NOT a fan of Halloween, I was able to get him to come along and cheer her on!

Fun talk with Jessica

(Jessie Kates first day of 2nd year preschool)

On our way to preschool today.

Me: "Jessie, did you know that it might snow tomorrow?"

Jessie: "Is it Christmas time?"

Me: "No, it's just going to snow for fun."

Jessie: "Mom, we can say Christmas but we can't say "shut up" or "stupid"?" And we're not making Heavenly Father mad because we're just "talking about it"."

Where:  Outside drawing with sidewalk chalk.

Topic:  bath time

Me:  "Jessie we need to get cleaned up so we can go have a bath."

Reese:  running quickly to go inside, she loves bath time.

Jessie:  "Mom, if you make me take a bath I'm going to draw a mean guy."

sorry, no picture of the mean guy.

My Prayer

"Heaven help me not weigh 500 pounds by the end of this pregnancy!"

oh the HOLIDAYS!

At our house we love the HOLIDAYS.  Who doesn't?

But this time we are looking a little forward.

Travs birthday:  December 31

Jessie Kates birthday:  July 4

Reese Maries birthday:  June 25 (6 month mark to Christmas...what that's a holiday)

Baby #3  due date:  April 9 (we're pushing for Easter on the 4th)

all the details:

sicker than sick sick sick (tops the last 2 by far).  NO, not planned.  Haven't been to the dr. yet (due date will most likely change, always does).  All I eat is hamburgers.   My poor kids are on their own.

WISH US LUCK! 

randomness

Reesey Cakes digs the stairs!

Cabellas on the 24th!  Do we know how to party or what?!

Jessie Kate, our new photographer!  Not too shabby for a 4 year old!  Her mom could use some work though...and some sleep!

Seriously...who knew Cabellas would be such a hit!  Couldn't get them out to save me!

 Anyone else dress up like a cow at Chick- Fil- A a few weeks back? Free food people, free food!

Jessie loves Gardner Village

Reese LOVES pillows!  

Some people have desks...some people don't!
