Kids

So I posted on FB a bit about Charlotte. She cracks me up these days. She loves princesses so much that she is even thinking about them in her sleep. I heard her talking in her sleep this morning saying "Let's put on our princess dresses. Tiana, I have jammies with you on it and Rapunzel too." She is so funny. She is excited about being a big sister and can't wait til he is a little bigger and she can feel him kick.

Savannah is so tender hearted. She just broke Chad & mine hearts last night. We went in to say prayers with each of the girls, tuck them in, then went to put on our jammies. I was about to walk downstairs and I heard crying coming from Savannah's room, and she was talking too. I listened for a bit before I went in. When I came to the door this is what I heard "Charlotte gets everything. Its Charlotte this and Charlotte that. Nobody likes me or loves me. I don't have any friends. Only Gallatin at school will play with me." Then it was too muffled with cries for me to hear. Chad and I both went in to talk to her. She thinks Charlotte and I go play with friends and go fun places everyday while she is at school and its not fair. We had to explain that most of the time we are just at home being boring and that mom is too tired to even go to the stores these days. We had to remind her about girl scouts coming up and all the fun things she will get to do that Charlotte won't since she is not a girl scout. She was happy when we left, but it was hard as a mom to hear her be sad about these things.

Now for the last one. Man this little boy is SO different than the girls. I pretty much breezed through pregnancy with the girls. I got pretty anemic and had elephant legs/feet but that is about it. The big part of nausea is gone but all day I just feel crappy. Not all the time that I want to puke but just not good. No food really sounds good, and I think I eat about 6-8 tums a day. Pretty much my meal options of late are Jacob crackers (thank you World Market for carrying them), whipped cream cheese, with Havarti cheese and some turkey slices. Oh and a coke. And that is pretty much the only thing I eat all day. Usually around 1p or so then around dinner nothing sounds good. Ugh, it is very annoying. But I guess since I have only gained 6 lbs after 18 weeks its not too bad right? But then again I didn't gain a lot with the girls either (18 &20). Just hoping I can actually eat some food again without wanting to vomit, and that I can not feel like a walking zombie all day too.

Oh and I forgot to mention the horrible acne I am getting with this one. With the girls I got it a bit on my forehead or chin. But nothing my good ole Rx stuff wouldn't get rid of quickly. Not with this little man. I get mountains that hurt like the dickins! Currently have one on my chin that is a bugger. But that is not all. They are on my shoulders, neck, back, chest. ugh. Its hideous! My poor skin gets scrubbed with a lufa in the shower to hopefully help this out. Guess I am glad I don't wear tanks. Chad says it looks like I have the chicken pox. Not something that helps boost your preggo wife's self esteem thats for sure.

Well next week he will get his picture taken again! Excited to have the bigger u/s done.
