I realize that I haven't been very good about documenting this pregnancy. Sorry Baby Girl! In my defense your brothers are crazy (i.e. active) and leave little time for sitting down and leisurely recording my thoughts. You can blame them as well :) I'm dialated to 2 currently and Grandma Freida gets here on Friday. Thank the Lord for Moms! She is the best Grandma, and will entertain the boys to no end. They'll love it! I'm hoping you stay in til the 5th. Any earlier makes me nervous, I want you to be healthy and strong! We are deciding on names right now. Dad likes Violet, I love Charlotte. We shall see what you look like and decide. This pregnancy has been so much harder than the previous two. I can't keep up with everything and I feel like I'm always yelling at someone. May patience runs thin most days. It doesn't help that the last month of pregnancy I have to REALLY slow down hoping to make it to 38 weeks. My doctor isn't concerned but I know how much harder is can make everything even only being one month early.
You move/squirm so much right now. Love it. I can't wait to see what you look like! I've lost my appetite the last week or so. Although I've finally introduced avocado back into my world. We weren't good friends for awhile. Broccoli has been something I really enjoy right now too. I have little desire for sweets this time. But I could eat an entire back of salty chips. Yum! I've had no sciatic nerve pain this time and the rest of my body is holding up well. I walk like a 75 year old and my hips and pelvis ache but that's to be expected when you have a bowling ball between your legs!!
The boys have a sibling class tonight. They are going to learn all about newborns. Oliver has us read Berenstein Bears: Baby makes Five almost every night. My visiting teachers asked him what baby sister's name was going to be and he thought a minute then said, "Baby Honey!" Elijah asks questions about if the baby has blood and if she'll have a pee pee. I should show him some pics of a baby in utero. He's so curious, I love it. I think they will both adore you. Elijah always finds the sweetest little toys and outfits (usually screaming PINK) and says we should get them for you. So cute that he's thinking of you. Oliver loves be involved and "helping". I think they'll do just fine. You'll have some awesome brothers to protect you and show you the ropes.
