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.

Just another day in the life of...
I'm in my 25th week of pregoness. I'm anxious to meet this new little boy. I've been slacking on getting pictures up every 4 weeks as I had done with my previous pregnancies. I've been taking them, just not sitting down and posting/blogging. At my last appointment I measured in at a whopping 125lbs. I hate getting weighed. I'm fine about my weight as long as I don't know what it is. This picture was taken at 22 weeks. I'll never be caught up...and I'm okay with that.
My boys have been keeping me on my toes. Izyk had his 15 month appointment a couple of weeks ago. He has definitely slowed down on the growing curve. Smack dab in the 50th percentile. This kid is a lover. Always wanting some sort of loving. He has got to be all over someone getting hugs and kisses. He's not walking much on his own. He will walk between me and Ryan but beyond that, I don't think he cares much. He will find a way to climb anything. He loves being perched in the window sill. He loves really, really loud noise. Surprisingly, he's not a huge fan of juice. Weirdo. I am very much enjoying who this kid is turning into. It'll be interesting with the third being born as Izyk loves his attention. He's loud and demanding.
Charley is so patient with his little brother. He loves doing puzzles and playing outside. He loves helping me cook and bake. He talks a lot. He tends to get excited and speaks too quickly which results in an entire string of babble. It's still a challenge to keep him in clothing. We are looking at moving them into the same room together here soon. Makes me a bit nervous as Izyk will still be in a crib which gives Charley something to climb which also means Izyk will learn by watching...we shall see how this goes. We will be getting Izyk into a bed in 6 months or so...*crosses fingers*

19 weeks and an old picture
I am behind on picture taking on this baby. Regardless, I am 19 weeks along and feel a whole lot better. Still a couple days here and there but I have my trusty zofran. We ended up finding out the gender of this baby at the last minute. Ryan wanted to know but I didn't really care one way or another but if he found out, I'd have to know. It never works when one knows and the other doesn't.
16.5 week picture...yes a little behind. Maybe on the next post there will be a picture of me at 20 weeks....
Yes...we are having another boy. 3 boys. Hahaha! We are very excited. We have not one single name. We cannot agree on one. This is going to be another last minute naming.
Charley is repeating everything we say. I love it. Cutest thing. He knows that my big belly means there's a baby coming. He was having a couple accidents here and there so we started up with treats again and he hasn't had an accident since. He is a great big brother. He plays well with Izyk. Izyk is still not walking. He will stand in place and push boxes around all day long but refuses to walk.
*stinker*
I think he's doing it on purpose.
He's really good at climbing stairs and going down them as well. We have yet to cut his hair even though he needs it. He has 5 whole teeth finally. He could eat bananas all day long. He says the usual mama, dada, nana (banana)...he climbs EVERYTHING from chairs to rockers, cabinets and window sills. It drives me insane. Luckily, he is really good at falling. That sounds weird but compared to how Charley used to beef it, this kid tucks and rolls. He also likes disassembling my vacuum cleaner.
Ryan has finally passed the marketing class he's been having trouble with. This was his third time taking the class. I'm just glad he passed.

Hello 16th week
I've hit that second trimester milestone. Woot woot! Still have bouts of nausea but I have my zofran. I've also had a constant headache for a month and my doctor gave me some stuff to take sparingly. My face has never been so broken out...except in high school. Nice. I think this is the first time I've had pimples in YEARS. Hormones. So I'm still at that stage where I'm not big enough for maternity clothes but my normal clothes are kind of tight. It's annoying. Today we were at the park and I was talking to this other mother that was there...she couldn't tell I was pregnant.
*shock*
I feel like a baby hippo but whatever. I've gained 6lbs...all in my abdomen. Charley always points to my belly, "Bay-bay." He knows. Ish.
We are not finding out what we are having...although, I have a feeling it's a boy. Names...oh boy. We had a hard enough time with Izyk's name.
Story:
I came home from work and as always, I had to pee the second I got into the door. I ran to the restroom and Charley followed me. I had just sat down and started to do my business. Charley starts crying and dancing, saying "Poo poo, Mama!" I panic. It's not like there AREN'T other restrooms but he still needs help getting ON the toilet. So, being desperate, I pinch it off. Such a good mother. Get him on the toilet...he farts and slides off the seat and runs off.
Really? Apparently my son still has issues distinguishing between his bodily functions. Oh well...I'm not complaining. He's potty trained...I'm good with that.
Charley wrestles with Izyk all the time
He's in need of a new do
Fetch, anyone?
Just because it's 98 degrees with 90% humidity, you don't have to give up style.
