Yay for Walmart???

My belly hurts. I have a sore spot right by my belly button, and every time I carry Mr.Man, it hurts. That combined with the baby moving all over the place, and her squishing my intestines....I'm sore.

I'm going to head to the YMCA today and try to elliptical. I need my exercise, and the elliptical allows me to move with minimal belly movement.

Man...I'm going to have to start swimming aren't I??
Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE to swim?? laps that is? I find it so boring. float and play in the pool yes. Laps no.

Oh well.

It's all worth it I suppose.

I went to Walmart the other day and found some bathing suit shorts by Ocean Pacific. (side note: I felt like it was 1985 again)....They are wonderful! Not the tight boy shorts, and not a skirt! They are night and loose around the legs to hide my fabulous cellulite and spider veins, but short enough that they look kinda nice!

Yay for Walmart....wow that is a rare statement from me.

Anyway....point is, I'm ready for the pool for whenever I MUST jump in.

25 weeks

25 weeks and 143pounds.
I'm o.k with that today.
23 pounds gained.
whatever.

I went to the midwife yesterday. so nice to hear the heartbeat. She is in there. Growing healthy and strong.
My belly is growing fast and she moves like crazy.

Such an amazing feeling that I don't want to end.

Today I am realizing that I only have 15 weeks to go.

I only have the months of June/July and August left.

That makes me sad.

I don't want it to end.

At least I don't wish this anyway any time soon.

I want to enjoy every moment of her being inside of me, knowing this will be be last time.

I want to enjoy the belly and the looks.

Just a little longer...at least for now.

WWAD???

Spent the entire day yesterday walking around NYC.
I am shocked at how tired and sore I was and still am.
I seriously felt soooooo pregnant.

I mean. Yay. The belly is great. But THIS sore and tired at 24 weeks?

Oh my.

I'm glad we did not plan this trip in the summer heat.

What am I going to do this summer at the zoo? or camping in August?

Also makes me seriously question planting ANYTHING in the garden.
I will eventually have to weed it, and bend over!!

Hmmmmm....

What Would Anne Of Green Gables Do????

She would be a trooper I'm sure. Oh wait. She had the Nurse/maid to help her do those things.

Cool Shot

23 Week weigh in.

23 Weeks and 138.

Still less than the 143!!! ha ha !!! Take that!!

I have a virus that my son happily gave me.

I can't take meds.

I'm dying....but surviving.

Today was Peyton's 2nd Birthday.

It was fun.

Lot's of fun.

Lot's of sun, sand and friends.

But they were up at 5am.

All of them.

I'm tired.

Real tired.

It's only 5pm.

Really????

Only 5pm right now???

Mother's Day Treats

Every Mother's day just get better and better for me.

2 years ago this day, Peyton was born. I could not have asked for anything better.

This year my two oldest girls made me the sweetest cards, and made me breakfast....Because they WANTED to. It did not matter that they were a day early. It does not matter that they can't spell the word mother.

All that matters is that they love me....and I feel loved. I REALLY don't need anything other than that.

Decaf Weecaf.

No sleep...no sleep at all. I've been dreaming...tossing and turning...and my mind feels like it is active ALL the time!!

Oh wait a minute...I went to STarbucks yesterday afternoon.

Hmmm perhaps I need to switch to Decaf.

I have not been sleeping well lately. My body is o.k, but my DREAMS are insane!! Seriously enough already!

Anyway. Everyone. Babies and all slept in today. Thank you Lord!!!

I needed it.

I'm on the phone right now and can't think of anything else to write...
