Updates

It's been awhile since I posted last. My days are now scheduled into drop off/pick up times. 4 of them, to be exact. Since we only have one car, we have to be very organized. I have to take Brian and Greta to and from work/school each day. It's a bit of a hassle, so we're contemplating finally getting a second car so that Brian can go into work early if he needs without disrupting everything else. We've done pretty well with only one, but Greta starting school really threw things off.

I am definitely not a morning person, but I told myself that I was not going to be the mom who drops her kid off at school while still in her pajamas. So that means that I have to wake up after Brian, but before the girls so that I can take a shower. I've been trying to get to bed earlier, but I can't help but be groggy when my alarm goes off at 6:15. I have a strict belief that I shouldn't have to get up before the sun. Unfortunately, life doesn't work like that.

But getting up early isn't the only reason that I'm always exhausted... Clayton baby #3 is on its way! The due date is February 26th, but Greta and Jade were both born a couple of weeks early, so I'm kind of doubting that this one will last any longer. Although- if by some random chance, I happen to go past my due date a little, I could end up with a leap year baby! That could definitely be cool. This is the initial ultrasound that was done, when I was 9 weeks along. I'm 14 weeks now, so obviously the baby is currently a lot bigger than this.


So far, this pregnancy has treated me a lot nicer than the last one. Less nausea at least. Maybe I'm weird, but it really annoys me that I have to eat ALL the time. Does that bother anyone else? I know that I need to eat so I don't get sick, but nothing sounds appealing. And the things that I randomly do want to eat aren't healthy, which annoys Brian (but he puts up with it because I'm pregnant). So, that's the big news around our house right now! Oh- and next week the temperatures are supposed to drop down to the mid-90's. I know that's still ridiculously hot for September, but it's a lot better than 105!

wow, how exciting!!! congrats on the big news. i am glad to hear you aren't too sick. i remember hating to eat when i was pregnant too. nothing sounded good, but you feel so sick if you don't eat often enough. i'm sure the pregnancy will go fast with how busy you are with your two adorable girls. i hope you have a boy, even though i was the third girl in my family. but boys are fun. :)

Congrats!! Thats good you haven't been as sick. I totally understand eating because you have to, I'm exactly the same way!! Good luck, especially with a new schedule, especially to just be thrown again when the new babe comes!

The temps have already hit fall weather here and I love it! Glad you are not feeling too sick. And yes, I think it is annoying to eat and feel hungry so often especially when nothing sounds appealing. I'm very excited about another new baby in the family! More cousins= more fun!
