What a day!!! I really thought that my nap on the couch this morning would keep me rested for the entire day, but I still managed to squeeze in two mini-naps later on. I'm lucky that the boys are self-entertaining. What can I say, but thank you Word World. Thank you.
The best part of the day had to be the feet swelling. I LOVE this part of pregnancy. I find that to look down at my feet and see sausage toes is one of the true joys of bringing a new baby into this world. I also love the antibiotic that I'm on. It tastes great!!! But I AM into penicillin.
Ever since Noah started back to clinic and is gone from before the boys wake up until after they go to bed, I have found that this apartment just seems to get bigger. The 200 square feet that we have to play in is more than enough space!!!! In fact, I am going to rent out half of the living room as a bedroom to someone in need. A bum maybe?? Or maybe just a college student. Who knows.
I'm doing well on adjusting our families bad eating habits. I realized as I was standing at the check-out line at the grocery story with a bag of candy corn, Halloween marshmallow peeps, Milk Duds, a frozen Sara Lee pie, powdered donuts, and organic skim milk that I have arrived!!!! I think that I had every important food group: seasonal sweets, marshmallows, chocolate, fruity-sweet, baked yummies, and healthy hormone-free dairy. Because let's just be honest here: if you are going to die of something, wouldn't you prefer that it be from too many doses of sugar, preservatives, and fat? We steer clear of the hormones and only eat REAL junk. You should, too.
The boys were cute today. They each told me that when the new baby comes they are going to do all kinds of nice things for him, such as: not pinch him (Phew!), put a binky in his mouth, let him sleep in their beds, give him a haircut, and feed him. My heart welled up with pride when I heard their sweet ideas. I have to admit that those things would probably make me just as happy. I only hope that the adjustment from two to three kids isn't as bad as everyone says that it is. But really, how bad could it be? It's not like I don't know how to take care of baby. Maybe the third time's really a charm. Well, in six days I will be 37 weeks and full term, and then we will know for sure.
Yours Truly,
Katie
P.S. Two Tough Guys. I'm shaking in my boots!

Just to put your mind at ease, I struggled with going from 1 to 2...but going from 2 to 3 was a breeze. And during my scientific studies as a mother and observer of mothers, I've found there has been compelling evidence that the good Lord sends very good and easy-going 3rd babies. The evidence is hard to ignore, so luck is on your side...and I'll pray for you. :)
You'll do great, Katie...but it would be nice if you let things get a bit unorganized in Relief Society for a good while. That's what happened to me in YW post-child-birthing, and I'd appreciate some company!
And I bet your wardrobe has just turned from hot to smokin'. Clothes just fit so much better at 37 weeks.
Hurry up already!
what a way to look on the positive side of things..wink. wink.
what's the final decision for a name?
I love the check-out lane story the best.
P.S. I thought #2 was way harder than #3 too, by the way. I think it has to do more with the baby themselves than the birth order. Josh was a super-easy baby (but he got me back for it as a toddler).
Have you ever eaten the last bit of the ice cream that you just bought yesterday and hoped that maybe someone else had eaten a bowl or two while you weren't looking? But deep down inside you know...it was all you. We too enjoy a Hormone free beverage with our high fructose sweets. It also goes well with mystery meat and really anything that's partially hydrogenated. But what's a few extra bucks when it's our childrens development where talking about?
(What ever get's you through the check out line.)
Katie,Whew. You have almost made it. Congratulations. 37 weeks is a great milestone. I keep hearing that 3 is a breeze, so fingers and toes crossed for you. I'm reading a book called The Help and loving it. xoxoxo.
