support...

....support...sure has brought me out of my depression for the moment...

that is one nice thing about pregnancy, you can count on many many people understanding

empathizing

completely.

...but when you are in it, in that own little world of yours

you kinda forget all the support around you.

I would love play dates guys!

Thanks for offering!

(that is, if I can drag myself out)

I feel better for now...

thanks :)

I will greatly multiply thy sorrow....in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

...why?!?
greatly increase your size...
that includes your ankles, feet, hands, nose, lips, hips, etc...not to mention the tummy...
"you'll have to thank Eve one day" my husband says sarcastically...
but the thing is, I will...not for this...but for the fact that I can even have children...
her insight and actions, though premature...were right on...
I am grateful for her...
there are many who don't get this privilege on earth...

who ever heard of someones teeth/jaw becoming misaligned during pregnancy???
I understand better the depression and anxiety of others during these last months...
never really had that like this before...

when did the month of january get to be soooo long??
ever seen those fat suits? I have one on right now...
sometimes when I look in the mirror, I can see myself peeking out of it through squinty eye slots...

I feel like I have a disability...
in some ways, I do, for sure...

on the other hand...when physical disability hits, other things in life drop out of priority...
all of a sudden, I'm not nagging my kids/hubby so much about "things"...
I don't even care about those things right now...
what kind of vanity do you want in the bathroom? what color paint in the office? honestly, just something that looks nice...you choose...I'm sure you will choose something great...
oh, you made a mistake...well, I'm sure you will work it out...
wet the bed for the 5th day in a row? whatever, clean it up...
in the same pj's...all day long...for the 3rd day in a row? hmmm, that's nice, lucky you...

...still...over a month to go...
somedays I say, just skip the epidural and knock me out completely...
nesting for a little boy is fun though...
priorities seem to be good...
...just enjoy this...it'll be over before I know it...

happy holidays :)

...to post or not to post...

...our christmas card...

I'm tired...
we are finishing our basement...
had a scare with gestational diabetes, which turned out better than expected in the end, thank goodness...
bigger this pregnancy than with any other...
uncomfortable...
busy...
chasing around the busiest kid on earth...who also happens to be very much a mommies-girl...and can throw a tantrum like no other one year old (except her twin cousin!)
did I mention tired...
how in the world do you catch up on house work???

but...
I am, finally, in my third trimester, done with morning sickness for the most part!
I am loving that oh-so-stink'n cute mommies girl
I am feeling pretty good overall,
I am feeling like this pregnancy has gone much faster than the others (despite the whole second-trimester morning sickness bit)
I am in the waiting game now, just wait, grow, and baby will finally come in a couple of months,
I am loving the joy of the kids this Christmas season as they understand things a lot better than they ever have before...
The kids still love me, despite it all, amazing, and tell me so...can you beat that?
well,
I am, very much in love with a guy who does ANYthing for me, and EVERYthing for his family, and somehow gets it ALL done...endless energy? endurance? whatever it is...I like him!

...so, okay, I'll make a card...and post it!

we have fun...

Happy Halloween!

 ...we got together with the cousins and did the whole set! so cute!

...getting in the mind-set...

I love fall...and the coming of the holidays...I haven't been in the "mind-set" for too much these days...

 ...sure I dragged the costumes out...and the girls are loving it...

...but I've mainly been in the survival mode...and getting in the mind-set to actually have a baby boy around this place come march...wow...really?

...love it!

I have a very talented cousin doing work in baby designs right out of Scotland...you can catch her shop by clicking the link on the side for JoyNevada LittleOnes...these designs are so unique!
