38 weeks

I'll be honest, I really, really hoped that I wouldn't still be pregnant at 38 weeks. Deep down, I'm pretty sure I'll still be pregnant until the veeeery end (but if I go over, I might literally explode) but I was really hoping for a baby by now. I've tried hard not to complain (to everyone but Josh) but I being pregnant with two 3 year olds is hard. Patience, creativity, energy, and my brain cells are all gone. Chances are, if you've sent me a text in the last month, or have invited me to do something, it's been forgotten about. Do you know how many text messages I've written half way and then simply gotten distracted and then haven't sent? It's pathetic. Hopefully it all clears up in a few months, but I'm pretty sure it will get a lot worse before it gets better.

But life is pretty good. Josh and I have been able to do a lot of things together lately and I've been relying on babysitters maybe a bit too much. We've pretty much gotten everything for the baby ready and I'm grateful we haven't had to buy too much for him. That's the perk of still having two of a lot of things and buying gender neutral, I guess. The girls are ready and maybe I've got rose colored glasses on, but I really think they'll do good with the transition. They've been pretty clingy to me at times, but they talk about all the things they'll do with baby brother constantly. They also HATE other baby boys. It makes me a little worried, but it's also really funny to me. We see a baby at the store and they yell, "I don't like THAT baby brother, I like MY baby brother!" I'm not sure if this is a good or terrible sign and considering I have two good friends (who we have regular play dates with) who are having baby boys within a month or so from me, it should be interesting to see all of them with their respective "baby brothers".

Other than that, there isn't much to report. The girls are loving preschool and so am I. On days where they go to preschool, they come home so excited to tell me what they did and they continue talking more the rest of the day. They get excited to see their friends and even in just 2 months, their vocabulary has exploded. It's been perfect for us. Not too structured or formal, but the perfect break for all three of us and the social interaction that they've desperately needed.

Aaaaand that's about it. As far as pictures, I've been more than pathetic this year. Yep, this entire year. I think I've taken maybe 30 since Christmas? Most of them aren't anything to write home about either. Oh well, that should pick up in a week or two...I hope.











Until next time when...there's a baby maybe?! Heaven help us.
