Week 22 {365 project} or Better late than never

I've seriously been slacking on getting my pictures uploaded to post.  I'll blame it on baby #3 making me tired and sick all day long.  Well probably not since when I started slacking was pre-baby...

And it pops out faster

My son gave me a hug yesterday and then proceeded to ask me the following question,

"Mommy you must be growing a baby in your belly.  It is getting bigger."

I told him I was eating too many cookies.  We haven't told the kids yet because they would tell everybody!  I wonder who else thinks I'm growing a baby with my big belly???  Since my oh so observant 6 year old just hit the nail on the head.

With Brendan I started wearing maternity pants around 18-20 weeks.
With Lila it was more like 11-12 weeks.

So far I'm still wearing my normal clothes at almost 9 weeks.  I can see a lot of flowy tops/outfits in my near future.

7 weeks
*I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and laughing at myself that I was popping out faster:)*

Here are 8, 9, and 10 week comparisons
 8 weeks
 9 weeks
10 weeks

I am currently 11 weeks and wore my first pair of maternity capris over the last couple days.  It has been cool and rainy and why wear something with a button when you have comfy elastic bands!

Pj day

Today we were blessed with a glorious rainy day.  An all-day soaker.  The rain was just swirling around the state of Michigan.  This day was so wonderful because we spent it in our pj's, ate popcorn for lunch, and took a nap on the couch.  Ok. Maybe I just took a nap on the couch.  My poor husband is going to embark a living room that looks like a tornado hit it when he gets home in 20 minutes.  Oh well.  I emptied and loaded the dishwasher and started the laundry.  That counts for something right?

Brendan and Lila were both so cuddly today and even argued whose cuddles I enjoyed the most and proceeded to try to sit on me.  Not so sweet to get jabbed on a full bladder with bony elbows and knees.

Thank you for your kind comments and congratulations.  The B6 helps with nausea which is something I'm experiencing again with this pregnancy.  I'm also craving Dr.Pepper which is strange because I don't drink pop all that often.  I had a bad bout of heartburn yesterday and then I thought about what I ate all day.  So today I made myself a strawberry/watermelon smoothie for snack.  I feel better I gave the baby some fruit today.  Not just Dr. Pepper, pizza, alfredo, and a milkshake.  Wow that sounds worse after I type it out.

Lila slept in until 10:40am and then took a nap from 3-5:45pm.  She'll probably be up until 10 now.

Mom hope your power stays on.

If I'm being honest

...my temper has been running short lately and I get frustrated easily.

...I'm finally starting to feel better.  Thank you B6 vitamins.

...why can't people be real?  Isn't it harder to put on a front and pretend?

...I need to do more fun stuff with the kids. 

...sometimes you just need a good cry.

...we are expecting #3 and I don't want to tell everyone yet.  I'll say it on here because I think 2 people read this:)

...I would delete my facebook but I remember watching this show on CNN and you have to delete everything first.  It would just take too long.

...Instead I deleted about 25 people and hid a bunch of others.  It felt good.

...it was awkward running into someone this weekend that I hid on facebook.  I mean they don't know but I do.

...if you don't clean or do laundry then your husband will.  Try it. 

...apparently some people are only there for you if it benefits their needs.

...the kids are watching a movie while I type this.  Does that count as fun stuff with the kids?

...I should start saying what I'm thinking more often.  I wonder how many people it would offend?

...I will just pray more instead.

What are you being honest about today?

How long can he scream?

So during dinner tonight, Brendan is being is normal slow-eating self and acting obnioxous.  I ask him to finish or he is done.  He's complaining he is hungry.  So eat!  This is a 30 minute process and Lila finds him hilarious so she starts acting up.  I finally tell him to leave the table and go to his room. 

He yells and screams.  I ask him to put his pj's on and lay down for a few minutes.  He screams he's not going to bed.  I take his duck and tell him when he stops he can have it back and walk out of the room.

He does not listen and screams louder, slams his door, and throws a fit.  We ignore him.  He comes into the hallway and screams his nonsense.  I came downstairs to get away from it but his room is above our computer room so it is all I can hear.

Great and now he is calling "Mommy!" through the vent.  I need a better hiding spot and Supernanny.
