I am so tired lately that all the funny things I think in my head to write down, I forget by the time I get to the computer.
I am 29 weeks (30 next Friday) not that I'm counting that closely or anything, and so I've hit that last trimester where you feel as tired as you did the first trimester only now you're fat as well. As of the other day, I have gained 25 pounds. It feels like 65. I am hopeful that it isn't going to be much more, but I just ate 2/3 of the candy in Keegan's Easter basket, so I am guessing that I will probably keep creeping up there.
The only reason I am mentioning weight is that everyone around me is mentioning weight so I thought I would just keep up. The problem is that everyone is talking about how much weight they are losing and if there's one thing I have learned as a pregnant chick, it's to keep quiet about two things around pregnant chicks: how fun the bar was last night and how much weight one has lost. Those are just two subjects that don't jive with the pregnant world. "Note To Self" duly noted for everyone around me yet to get knocked up. My sister-in-laws will be happy.
Easter was glorious today! We got up early, donned our rabbit ears, and hunted for eggs. Eggs I actually hard boiled and Keegan decorated for the first time!
Keegan found them all with a little help: "Why don't you check over by the tv. No by the- ON the DVD player! On the DVD player!" And we even made it to "churches" as Keegan calls it. I am not sure how he came up with more than one church because we barely attend ONE church right now, but I am happy that he made it through the first 35 minutes, and then he and Will played in the hall for the rest of the service. I am SURE that Will could hear the Easter sermon just fine and felt like it was well worth him going. Taking children to church, at least for me, is extremely difficult. We are not big "nursery" fans, so we bring him with us in the hopes that the sermon will be enlightening to him. I kid..but he only has two weeks until he can join Sunday school for the summer, so we should all be happier at churches then.
My darling daughter pummels me routinely and I am a little worried that she is ADHD. She CANNOT sit still. It is my lot in life to have one of my children be high maintenance, seeing as their mother is, so I figure that it is going to be her.
We had another ultrasound the other day, and I was relieved that all of her parts were working beautifully and she seems to have a very cute nose, so hopefully it's her dad's and not mine.
This pregnancy has been so different than with Keegan but I am 100% busier than I used to be, so it only stands to reason that I haven't been able to just sit and relax as much this time. The nice thing about this is that it is making the time go super fast, and before I know it, I will be sleep deprived and saggy, BUT will be able to enjoy that occasional (oh give me a break) glass of wine on the deck.
Will has been super fantastic about everything and once I explained to him that I am merely "nesting" and not obsessive compulsive, he has been really helpful.
"What kind of bird are you, then?"
"What?"
"You know if you're "nesting," what kind of bird?"
I am sure he wanted to answer for me with "Do-do" but he let it go and went to clean the garage before I did it myself.
Anyway, it has been a great day and Keegan is napping so that means I had better get in there and take my nap too!
Happy Easter!
