It's seriously funny that I had her no later than 12 hours after I wrote that last post.
I call it "pregnancy Transition".

Monday

Nine months pregnant!!!!


Feeling every last drop of it! and more...
Itchy itchy and more itchy with a little bit of itchy on top of that.
Why.. why is the question I ask regularly, though I know I am not suppose to.
At the end of My pregnancies I always get crazy itchy. It happens worse at night, so on top of that, I don't sleep. It is usually all over but takes turns to flare up in certain spots. My hands are sore from scratching, I think I have carpal tunnel. Good things about it? By the time I go into labor I think "Bring it on!" and having a new born that is up all night and healing from child birth... Heaven!
That's just one very annoying aspect, so here's to all you sisters out there who have sacrificed your entire being for your child. This is JUST the last month...
Hot flashes, retained water, food sitting next to throat and burning it, back ache, leg cramps, constipation, diarrhea, food cravings, food aversions, insomnia, gas, grumpiness, people that bug, don't want to do your hair, don't want to wear clothes, arms and legs falling asleep while sleeping, chunky butt, chunky everything, low iron, no energy, UTI's, teeth rotting, can't breathe, always out of breathe, tight skin, annoying husbands and children needing things.
That covers 1/16th of it.
Am I complaining..... Heck yes I am!
...and to think our kids will take us for granted.
The nerve!

Tuesday

EllieOra Turns 3!!!


She had a party on Friday, then her birthday was on Sunday and we celebrated at Grandma's
She loves being the center and a social butterfly. She is so fun to get for. She enjoyed every present. On Sunday morning her Dad got to sing "Happy Birthday" to her from Iraq.
What a little Joy she is.

*Because I am big, miserable and pregnant, Libbie did most of the work for the party, I am very proud of her and her hard work..and the boys.
