Is anyone interested in the everyday?




Is anyone really interested in looking at someone Else's boring life. I work, raise my kids, eat, sleep and repeat.... Is that interesting? Do I care if it is or it isn't? Blogging can be just that. The everyday.... The potentially interesting... The downright boring. So here we go.... The everyday.

Nathaniel

Effortlessly He entered the world and laid blinking at the bright lights. What is this fuss about? He is beautiful and delicate and perfect. Adoringly his parents look at him, he is breath taking. Daddy leaves to get juice and Mommy is overcome. Her tears spill over and land on this fresh faced boy, small promises. Instant love strong and pure, it is all so much but so simple. He is here and we adore him.

A New Chapter

I keep wondering obsessively what it will be like. A new baby, a new routine and a new chapter in life. What will this person in me be like, a calm personality like Jake, easier startled and cautious like Avery... I have never been one to really know my baby as a person inside of me. I can't tell what kind of personality they are until they arrive. So I wonder and I wonder and I wonder... I want to meet him or her so much! I feel good, I am uncomfortable but I feel really content and happy. 38 weeks on Monday, almost done!

I am Stopping.

I have to make an announcement. I am stopping. For the months of May and June I will be stopping. I am not going to worry, I am not going to clean like a maniac, I am not going to organize things... I am going to focus wholly on the small person who is about to enter my life and on my body and on me. I have never done this before. With my other three babies I walked out of the hospital and right back into my life. Baby was strapped in for the ride and away we went... Not this time. This time I want to enjoy the experience of being a new Mommy. I have promised myself days of rest and days of relaxation. People who want to see our baby can come over and see him(?) but I will not be venturing out. If our house gets a little out of control I have decided not to worry about it. If we eat pizza more than once, we eat pizza. Life will have to wait as I am stopping.

The Proposal.



We took a boat ride... I had no idea where we were going.

This was our room. Outside was the awesome view of the ocean.

I was so excited to eat! We had fantastic food and an awesome view, and after we ate he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.








I said yes.

3rd Tri.

Every day my due date comes closer. I am surprisingly nervous. I don't typically get nervous but this small person's constant kicking is reminding me that I am about to give birth and become a Mother. I realize that I have done this before, but the sheer awe of it always leaves me with feeling of nervous joy. Being a Mother is one of the most important jobs on Earth and to be blessed again with another person who will call me "Momma" quiets my very soul.

I am entering into my third and final trimester, Monday marks the milestone of my decent to the finish line. My belly grows and squirms and moves, my stomach is always growling and I am eager to meet this person. The boy or girl question has almost made me crazy! So I will leave here a list of symptoms and you can place your bet on whether it is a boy or girl!

1. I am gaining weight in the thighs, bum and tummy. My face and arms are almost the same size as before.

2. I am carrying high.

3. I had no morning sickness at all.

4. I have been very tired throughout my pregnancy.

5. My hair and leg hair has grown at the same rate but my nails are growing very quickly.

6. I do not look as pretty as I am normally.

7. I am craving fruit, which in very normal for me; and sweet junk food, which is totally not normal for me at all.

8. I have had an aversion to meat, I eat it but I would choose anything else to eat first.

9. I have been very thirsty throughout my pregnancy but my blood-sugar level is totally normal.

10. I have been sweatier than normal, especially in the mornings.

Please add any other things you have experienced or heard! I am dying of curiosity!!!!
