The latest & the greatest...

Not much new info to share, but I’ll share what I’ve got.

We are now at week 33 of my pregnancy. All of my complaints from the last post are still in tact. I have 2x4s for feet & I CANNOT eat a full meal without completely regretting it.  The foot to shoe & baby to belly ratios are still not in my favor, but I’m surviving :)

The newest addition to the complaint pool is difficulty sleeping…actually not SLEEPING per se but movement when I sleep. The other night I turned from my side to my back & I felt Marlon’s entire body shift like a sack of potatoes in one swift move…BOOM and I WISHED I had just stayed put! The tinkle monster tends to get me multiple times in the middle of the night, so I’m having to move multiple times each night. My favorite is when I’ve got to go 20 minutes before my alarm is set to go off.  He’s getting so big; I’ve got to have a pillow perfectly placed under my belly to help support him. I’ve got to tell you though; Marlon has taken to my sleep schedule so I should probably be thanking my lucky stars.

This school year is almost over & the end of school is putting the start of mommy-hood into perspective and there is soooooo much to do! His crib is still in a box along with all of the other things I’m going to need. Michael’s work schedule is horrible & I’m just too tired, lazy, & impatient to even read the instructions. I opened the boxes & if I saw a bag of screws/nuts/bolts, I put everything back into the box & into the, “ehhhh, we’ll do it later” pile. I need someone to come here & crack the anti-procrastinator whip OR just put it all together for me. I prefer the latter.

Well next weekend is Mother’s Day. I already have a breakfast date with my three boys & I can’t wait! It’s been 9 years since I got to physically honor my Mother, but she’s never forgotten. Wishing all of my mommy friends out there the happiest of Mother’s Days… there’s never a day off, you often go without recognition, & sometimes you may feel underappreciated, but yet it’s somehow the most rewarding job out there!

 XOXO,
