Bragging Rights and Randomness

I just have to brag...a tiny, tiny bit. I just LOVE that my boys have woken up at 9-930am for the past 3 days and then go down for a nap. They nap for 2-3 hours. If I was my normal not prego self, I'd be doing housework. It's a holiday for Pete's sake so for 2-3 hours...I do nothing. Literally. Sometimes I watch horrible reality television and sometimes a movie...and sometimes I blog. :)

Oh oh oh, what I forgot to mention in my last post is I made my own laundry soap. Liquid. I have a front loader HE so I was a little nervous about using powder. The liquid didn't take too much effort and I made 2 gallons of the stuff. I absolutely love it. I spent maybe 8 bucks on the ingredients and I used an eighth of it to make this one batch. Here's to saving a bit of money. Woot woot!

I thought ding dongs were wrapped in foil...disappointed prego lady right here.

I have been on a sugar craving the past couple days. I'm pretty sure I know why I have felt yucky those days as well.

I love soap. I feel OCD...but I'm over it knowing that I will return to normal after birth. I go through a bar of soap a week. I don't eat it...I just wash...often...as in every chance I get.

Ready for cold weather.

We bought Christmas lights for our house. This will be our first year decorating the outside of our house. Super excited.

We have found...or someone else has found rather, a larger vehicle for us!! I've been ignoring the fact that we would need a bigger vehicle come february. I wasn't sure how we would afford another car payment. We are certainly blessed to have the people we have looking out for us. One less stress...one less HUGE stress for me. Yay!!

Third trimester

Hooray! 2.5 months and counting. Being as it I'm having a c-section, my birth will be "planned"...assuming things GO as planned...although NEITHER of my previous births worked out as planned...I'm not bitter, I promise. This pregnancy is flying by. I have no real ailments to complain about except the Braxton hicks sure are prominent this time around and they started earlier AND I get them frequently. Not too bad. If I sit too long, I walk like I'm 80 years old. I'm totally anxious to meet this little one. I'm excited. A little nervous about three little ones but I know it will work out...somehow.

The boys are awesome as usual. Izyk is walking...FINALLY. I love love love that he's such a love bug. He gets bored quickly. He doesn't eat much although he likes bread and mashed potatoes. I can't believe how big Charley is getting. He helps Izyk to walk. They share food really well and we are working on toy sharing. They are good at it until there is a new toy in the mix. Lol! Izyk sleeps til 9am and Charley wakes up at 7 or 8 am. They will be sharing a room come Christmas break.

My brother and his wife will be having heir baby in December! Scott and Molly will be welcoming Owen at the end of December if she lasts that long! I'm excited for our expanding family. I'm really sad that we aren't closer to everyone. When the holidays roll around, it gets difficult having to celebrate it without the extended family. Makes me sad.
