For the past few weeks, I've been telling people that I have "about a month" left of pregnancy. Just now, when I opened my blog, I was shocked to see my little pregnancy ticker telling me I have 13 DAYS LEFT TO GO!! Oh my goodness! Start . . . panicking . . . now . . .
I'm just not sure if I'm ready for it. I'm mostly freaking out about labor. And delivery. And recovery. Seriously, those three things have been giving me nightmares lately. For some reason, I always thought it would get easier the more children you have. I actually think it gets worse - I now know exactly what is going to happen and it's scaring the heck out of me.
A little pregnancy update - Lately, I've been very hot and very uncomfortable. I can't sleep at night or nap easily in the day. I feel very crampy, inflexible and fat - NOT a very good feeling. Needless to say, there aren't too many things, unfortunately, that bring me much comfort, but just to be positive I'll list some of the things that DO-
(after posting this without pictures I thought it looked too boring, so I've reposted it with random pics that I found on my phone, camera and the internet - sorry for the randomness, but hopefully, it makes it a leetle less boring! lol)

Wayne - he's been a trooper and has made changes with his schedule to be home or with the girls in order for me to nap, rest and/or just do nothing.
(Here they are killing flies)

AC - I'll load the kids up in the car just to drive around with the AC on full blast cause I'm too cheap to cool down my whole house.

The Pool - It's the only time I feel weightless and cool.
(This is their favorite thing to do in the shallow part)

Pandora's Radio - "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" channel - Seriously, check it out! I started listening to it just on Sunday's, but now put it on everyday because it's so soothing.
Being pregnant with my sister!! I don't know - just knowing that she's going through the same thing that I am right now and will soon have to go through labor too makes me feel better. ha ha! Love you seester!
(Me and Tali trying to get our sexy back. Oh well. It was worth a try, right?)

Treats! - Ah! It brings me so much comfort - chocolate, ice cream, candy and my FAVORITE, Cinnabons!! (which I got last week thanks to Saia and Line and this week thanks to Wayne!!:) )

Friends/Family - I'm so grateful for all the love and support I receive. Whether it's taking the girls for a few hours, doing a playdate or gno with me, making a meal for my hungry husband, or even just a listening ear - I'm SOO grateful for you. Thank you!! Thank you!

Looking at pictures like this - Sorry. I found it on my phone and just had to post it.
ps. A small follow-up - after reading my last post Wayne was like, "Wait. So do you want to divorce me like, every day?" ha ha My first thought was, You read my blog?? Horaay!! And my SECOND thought was, of course not! I love Wayne and am soo grateful for the wonderful husband and father he is. Though we've had hard times and will probably continue to have them throughout, we love each other enough to work through them . . . and all the good times we have make it all worth it. K. Just had to put that out there. ha ha Love you Wayne!!

I need to read blogs more often this is the first I'm hearing of your pregnancy....so..Congrats!!
Hahaha @ Wayne. Saia would totally ask the same question if I wrote a post like that too. And my answer would be "of course not" too... Followed by "only every month." Lol jk, love my hubs too!
And you and Tali are so cute, preggo together. :)
So close to the end of the pregnancy runway and then it's the take off adventure of another child!! I can't wait to hear all about the newest member of your family!!
hahahaha. i LOOOOVE that last pic!! it made me laugh-and made me look dumb laughing at my computer (haha!) but yah, spencer and i would probably get into another fight and a divorce if i posted something even slightly like that. so off! haha!! so totally understandable. hehe!
and i love the pool playdates!! it would be a lil funner if baby was a little older and could last longer in the pool, but its okay for now :) hehe! i (we) still have fun!!
You're so funny! BUT I think after you've had 2 kids, all of that labor/delivery part will be a piece of yummy cake right?! Lol, It's funny that you said 'you know what's going to happen' and it's scaring the heck out of you, haha! Thanks for reminding me the discomforts and thoughts of being pregnant. When I'm pregnant again, I'll be sure to post something like this, lol.
Haha to your husband, too awesome you guys:-) "You read my blog??", haha!
