It's 8:45pm...

And I'm soaking in a hot bath listening to my boys talk to each other...they SHOULD be sleeping but I guess that's hard to do when you share a room. I'm beyond exhausted. I'm going to blame the lack of iron and the fact I have not been taking my supplement. Bad, prego mama. My boys have been really helpful tonight which is nice considering hubs is working. Charley stopped eating his mangoes to help me empty the dishwasher and he empties it well. He knows where silverware goes and pots and pans and cups. They both picked up after themselves when bathtime was done. Very capable boys for being 3 (eeeccckkk) and 18 months old. I'm so thankful. I used to stress when they emptied the dishwasher because I had a routine. Then I realized that I need to let them...it may not be done perfectly but, by golly, they enjoy it and they do it well enough. Now to work on putting toys away when they are done playing...ha! It's a good goal.

Charley turns 3 years old tomorrow. This makes me sad. He is such a joy. I love him to death. He is a great big brother. He tries to keep his younger brother out of trouble. He learns so much everyday and the older he gets, the more he turns into a little man. He has spoiled his parents being the first born. So full of energy. Daddy's boy. Car fanatic. Happy birthday little boy! I love what you are becoming and I'm excited to watch you grow. Muah!

Boring post with no pictures because as you have read...I'm not anywhere near the computer. :) Tomorrow I will upload some. I'm 37 weeks pregnant. Lots of soreness and Braxton hicks. Work is wearing me out quickly these days and I'm a hormonal mess. The guys at work appreciate it, I'm sure. 12 days until we meet our little boy. I am so excited. My mom is flying out and will be here the 31st. So excited to see her and for her to see the boys.

And with that, I bid you goodnight.

Happy new year! Hooray for 2012! We had a very low key Christmas and New Years. I got a lot of baking done and I tried out a lot of new dishes. Fooooooooood. I look like I've gained 10 pounds. The boys are doing well in the same room. It was a tough couple of days at first but they are getting used to each other. Izyk usually falls asleep before Charley and subsequently you will hear Charley say "Izyk? Are you sleeping? IZYK!!!!"...well, of course if he doesn't respond, he screams for him. Lol! Such nerds. Have no idea where they get that trait.
Christmas was fun. Charley was good at opening presents, Izyk...perhaps next year he will get the concept.
For New Years, Ryan and I watched our tv series and celebrated with junk food and Asti (for Ryan) and sparkling apple juice (for me). We promptly went to bed after midnight. Party hard at the Nichols!







I hit the 34 week mark. Woot! Next week I will be getting an ultrasound. I'm measuring kind of big with this one. I'm sure it has nothing to do with this being my fourth pregnancy.

Ah-hem *sarcasm*

Loose muscles and all. I'm excited to see my little man. This pregnancy went by so fast. That can be good or bad or both. I can't believe we are going to have three little boys. We keep getting asked if we are going to try for a girl. I don't want people to think that's the only reason we keep having children. I love kids and we have been blessed with our boys. I absolutely love our kids and if we are not meant to have a girl, then we aren't going to be having a girl...and I'm good with that.

The video below is Charley thinking he is singing and playing the stylophone. Silly boy. Lol!
