27 Weeks

Yay!! 27 weeks, this means only 13 more to go until baby arrives! It also means 3rd Trimester. Oh, the wonderful 3rd trimester. This is when things start getting really fun. I will balloon up to the size of a blimp. Will not be able to: tie my shoes, shave my legs, paint my toenails, pretty much anything that requires bending or reaching below the waist. Even putting on socks is already becoming increasingly more difficult. Well, such is the life I guess!

A little update on the most common question I hear...."How are you feeling?":
Answer: Tired, huge, hungry, my left hip hurts SOOO bad (I guess it's the sciatic (sp?) nerve that's pinched...I can barely walk in the mornings when I get up and then I am limping again by the end of the day), exhausted, grumpy then happy then grumpy again (revolving cycle of emotions), excited for the new baby to come, nervous about having 3 little ones to look after, short fused, did I mention tired?! Wow, that sounds pretty negative...it's not really that bad! I actually enjoy being pregnant. I'm not sick or bed ridden. I can eat anything I want...and I do. Food tastes REALLY good when pregnant. Did I mention hungry as one of the ways I'm feeling? I-am-hungry-all-the-time. Except, of course, right after I stuff myself with food, then I feel pretty miserable because there is just no room for all the food I just ate. But then, about an hour later, I'm back to hungry.
A tiny bit of my day is also consumed with looking after 2 very lively young boys! This week was great, let me say just great (insert sarcastic tone here). It started with Wyatt throwing up a bowl and a half of cocoa puffs/milk/snotty mucus stuff all over me (and my nice white robe), the kitchen floor, the TV and table under the TV, a few toys and of course, himself. That was really fun to clean up! Bending down, wiping up, and smelling that all the while Wyatt was crying - not on my top 10 list of fun things for a Monday morning. He was so pitiful though...after almost throwing up my breakfast 3 times, we calmed down and he had a nice lazy morning on the couch!

The next day was pretty much running errands, doing laundry, doing dishes, etc. Normal stuff which made the boys grumpy and bored. I must have worn them out though because Will took about 1 1/2 hour nap and then came to the bonus room and fell back asleep for 45 minutes like this!

The rest of the week has been more of the same. For some reason, both boys have been moody and tempermental. The sun is shinning today so we went out for a "Fun Friday". We went to Homegoods to spend more of my gift certificate and I promised the boys a "park" of some sort. After dragging the kids through Homegoods, finally making my final choices and standing in line to check out, I realized my gift certificate was NOT in my pocket. Very upsetting! It was sitting in the seat of my car....preggo brain strikes again. (I don't think I mentioned about my accident a couple of weeks ago....blocking it from my mind)

Wyatt was saying, "my hungry, my hungry" over and over, so we went to Chick Fil A for some good food and play time. The ENTIRE time we were there, Wyatt ate NOTHING and cried/whined about wanting to play. He waited until Will and I finished eating, then we went to play (where he whined and cried if anyone touched him or looked at him funny). Once we got in the car to come home, the whole, "my hungry" started again. They were SOOOO ready for a nap! Oh and while I was there, a lady was talking to me and asked, "When are you due?" I told her "May 25th, just about 3 more months" and she looked very shocked and said, "Oh....I thought...wow...3 more months?"

Seriously?!! I don't look that big do I?!

Oh well. It is what it is!

Update on the baby....our newest little baby boy is almost 10 inches long and weighs about 2lbs. He is very active, can suck his thumb, and even cry! So neat to know that all of that is going on and he's not even born yet! A little disturbed by the 2lb thing....so far I have gained aprox 25 lbs. So the extra 23lbs are just me?! Well, Trent and I are going for the 4-D ultra sound in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to see the little one! I'll be sure to post pictures from that experience.

That's all for now! TGIF!!!!
