In the middle of my little photo shoot Wes walks up, hands me his
half eaten graham cracker, then walks off. Strange kid.
Total Weight Gain: 23lbs (I think 10 of that alone is in my upper arms, geez flabby!)
Movement: A LOT. This baby moves all the time, especially in the evening and during the night. This past week I started to be able to see the baby move from the outside. It's so wild!
Sleep: Some nights I'm sleeping better than others. I'm really altering my diet lately and that has helped me to feel better in general and to sleep a little better. I'm trying to get in a little nap every day with the boys even if it's only for 30 minutes.
Comfort: More sleep and a better diet have helped my back feel a little better. I'm definitely feeling the belly though as it becomes harder to have kids in my lap or pick up Wesley. Ironically it's almost easier to hold Xavier than Wes because X is longer and wraps himself around me. But I don't really carry X around anyway. My stomach space is shrinking so if I eat less I can usually breathe better :)
Cravings: I'm forcing myself to eat more vegetables and salads have actually sounded really good lately. I've also been eating a lot of eggs. (But don't get me wrong -- I would eat Nutty Bars 24/7 if I didn't know better)
Where is spring? My wardrobe is pretty small and I'm tired of seeing my long sleeve stuff over and over on myself. I'm also dying to wear flip flops on a regular basis because in a weird way I think they make me look skinnier :)
Xavier has semi nicknamed the baby "Baby Pluto" and says "it's still growing" occasionally. Other than that the boys really don't acknowledge that anything different is going on. Walter and I have pretty much decided on a first name, boy and girl, but are still iffy on middle names.
I went to help a good friend register for her 1st baby and came home feeling like all my stuff is already out of date. Oh well, we're using it anyway! I'm amazed at the stuff they've come out with just in the 3.5 years since we registered.
As part of my baby countdown I'm trying to meet up with lots of friends that I haven't seen. Come July it's going to be hard to get away again for awhile :(
The cashier at Costco told me this baby is a boy. She said it with a lot of certainty. Hmmmm.....

So did you eat the graham cracker?
Madelyn's in-utero name was Pluto too! Strange!
Mom - No, I didn't eat the graham cracker. It was all soggy!
Andrea - That is very funny. I guess it's because Mickey and Friends seem to dominate the world for these kiddos!
