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.

You are a stud. I will say this: 3 is awesome. Not 3 boys (I can't speak to that), but 3 years old.
