Life..

Hello 3rd Trimester!!

I got to "sleep in" yesterday.....which roughly means after waking with Paige at 8:30am....i was allowed to go back to bed, and Mike got up and fed her breakfast, etc. Niiiicccceee!

I finally got my lazy butt up around 11:45am (hah!).....stomach felt a bit sour. Ate breakfast....stomach sour came back...with some dizziness and general feeling of blah. I fought that off/on yesterday....in between we cleaned out Paige's old dresser, Mike moved it to the front porch for right now....it will become Dylan's whenever his room empties out. Paige's "new" dresser got moved into her room and I filled it up quick. Dang, that girl has too much clothes.....her dresser is already packed as is her closet. Still need to buy new drawer pulls for it.... I cleaned and vacuumed the house too...Mike fixed the leak in the pool (hopefully!), and he painted the concrete basement wall.

Woke this morning to Belle having peed on Mike's desk/computer and floor AGAIN. 4th day in a row. WHAT THE FUCK. And learned the pee has been seeping thru the floorboards and dripping into the laundry area of the basement. Makes me so upset, I want to cry. I soaked the floor with cleaner before I left for work today. And my stomach has been upset ever since.

My belly is lower today too.... last night he was kicking/rolling in my low pelvic area....it HURT! Anyhow...loving feeling my baby boy moving around, despite the soreness of it at times! Today when he moves, it seems to make my nausea worse? Odd. Been nibbling pretzels and sipping water at my desk at work all day...

I keep thinking about life and where things are....and it dawns on me....how SURREAL this all is. This time, last year, if you were following me then....we had been TTC for a few months already and were already getting frustrated. I was getting down and depressed each month (and super sick as well, oddly). Now....I sit.... 28 weeks pregnant with a baby boy..... house a mess in construction all for him. Life is moving...it is progressing, and I need to step back and see THAT and be happy for it all. My baby girl turns 5 next month. Yes, 5. She starts Kindergarten shortly after that. All huge steps into the next chapter in our lives. Too awesome. Too. Awe-some.

(and in true Paige form, we've already begun discussing lunch options for school. LOL. Yes, she's still all about FOOD 24/7. She's picked out and planned out her sandwich choices, and keeps adding to what sort of snacks Mommy needs to boy & pack for her in her lunchbox daily....). This will be her first time eating away from home daily!
