84 days and counting

So according to the lilypie ticker on my sidebar, I only have 84 days left until this squirmy little baby joins our family.

I can't believe its going so fast. I can't believe I'm already in my third trimester. I can't believe how active she is. I can't believe how small this house is getting. :)

Everything is going really well with this pregnancy. I truly do love being pregnant once the misery of morning sickness is over. :) But I'm savoring every bit of it knowing that this will VERY likely be our last baby (at least biologically). My body might be only 26 but its TIRED, lol! I had my good ol' glucose testing last week and got the call today that I do not have gestational diabetes. Check. :) So that's good. And everything is looking good. I'm having a little restless leg syndrome action going on, which isn't a big deal and a normal pregnancy thing, just kind of annoying. But I have been having more Braxton Hicks than I'm comfortable with. So I've been trying to stay off of my feet a little more during the day and drink lots of water, yada yada yada. It's kind of helping... I guess. And if you just clicked on that link to read about Braxton Hicks- YES I've had days where I'm having more than 4 in an hour. But I feel confident enough that its definitely not preterm labor and that when it comes I'll know the difference. Its just annoying too.

AND its a little hard to stay off of your feet with a 2 1/2 year old who is every BIT of two years old and throws hourly tantrums, a 4 year old little girl who refuses to wipe her little bottom OR flush the toilet OR close the bathroom door so the other kids don't PLAY in her urine, and a 4 year old little boy who likes to throw wooden blocks at our flat screen TV and turn the dials on our gas oven. Ashley seems to be my only saving grace around here... getting me diapers and wipes when I need them, helping lead the little kids out of rooms they shouldn't be in, and even pouring drinks and clearing the table at mealtimes. But she's starting school in 4 weeks!!! But thanks to some sturdy baby gates, some sticker incentive charts and a little extra cuddle time for Abby, I'm doing my best to stay off my feet when I can. :)

And like I always say- this is the easy part. Its when the baby is outside of my body that things will start to get really interesting. :)
