I got up to leave work today, and almost collapsed because of sciatic nerve pain.  It took me completely by surprise, and it has been hurting all evening.  I didn't have any issue with this when I was pregnant with Liam, and I had problems with Wyatt but it was just at night when I got up to go to the restroom.  This does not bode well.

I hope it's something strange where the baby is in a bad spot and he will move.

Feeling some pre partum depression. My skin is super dry and itchy, my face is all broke out, I can't sleep, I'm huge, this weather is horrible, I need to do things outside of the house, but don't want to spend time away from the boys and it's too much to take them out with me. Need to nest, but it's hard to do with the boys since I have things already organized with them.

Feeling bad about work too.  I like my job, but it is so frustrating to deal with people who can't or won't do their job correctly. Trying to stand up for myself, but I know things won't get done and I feel like I'm whining all the time.

My nails look horrible too and I hate static electricity. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about the electric bill and having money to pay for it.

Jeremy went out for a run today.... I started to get worried around 8:30, but by that time he was on his way back.  It was an experience and he had fun with his friends, so I'm glad he went.

We got the loft bed from IKEA set up.  It looks really good in there.  Eventually we will take out one of the crib beds, but first we have to make sure Wyatt is completely okay with being out of the crib.  Today was the first day he has been able to take his nap in the bed.  Liam is very possessive of the bed... I will try and take pictures of the nursery soon.

Tomorrow, hopefully we will be able to play outside in the cold.  Today we ventured out to dinner with the boys and Wyatt ate like a bottomless pit. 

Getting more and more tired.  getting up the stairs is really hard, and carrying Wyatt up them is out of the question. 

30 weeks tomorrow.  starting to go every two weeks to the doctor.

I'm almost done with my diaper hoard.  I'm only 11 boxes away from getting BBF v3.0 to potty trained.

got my pump today, along with 100 freezer bags.  It was strange seeing the pump.... like I am going to have some special connection with it... I will spend lots of time with it at work.  I watched the video on it, and I was like "I need a baby NOW to breastfeed."  such sweet little hands.

going to start going to the doctor every two weeks now. had my one hour glucose test at 7:30 this morning.  I was fasting even though they said I didn't have to be.  Rather be on the safe side because I don't want to have to do that three hour test again.

we got a dresser, as well as a loft bed from IKEA, and some storage units that is going to double as steps up to the loft bed.  We could totally fit 4 kids in the nursery if we needed to. 

It is super cold.  I am very thankful for the XXL coat that a pharmacy tech is letting me borrow.  Otherwise I wouldn't have anything to zipper over my tummy.

Lots of Braxton-hicks.  I got a lecture today about being at high risk for diabetes. 


we got our photo album yesterday, got most of the pictures put in.  need to work on putting in dates and names. 

need to get the clothes up from the basement for BBF v3.0.  need to set up the diaper station in our bedroom.  Need to find a bassinet for our bedroom.

Need to get Wyatt transitioned out of the crib.

29 weeks today.  Very uncomfortable, especially when Wyatt is on my lap.  He doesn't seem to understand why my lap isn't the same size, and why his butt doesn't fit there like it should.  Lots of pushing ands shoving, trying to create more room, which leaves me really uncomfortable.

Clothing sucks too.  I was weighing in at 180, which is a 40 pound weight gain.  I hope that I can keep these last few weeks at bay and end this pregnancy at just a 50 pound gain.  I'm not optimistic though.  I thing about when I can start insanity again.  Hopefully, my bleeding will be short lived, my uterus won't drop down, and my bladder won't get too damaged.

slowly but surely getting ready for the next baby.  ordered some breast milk freezer bags, have another pump in transit as we speak. Going to Ikea tomorrow to get another dresser.



dreading lack of sleep, but already feeling sad watching Wyatt, knowing that after this baby, it will be the last one. 

sometimes, you just needs a few inches of water in the sink, a cup and some rubber ducks.  and a stool of course.



here's some oldies but goodies. Can you tell which ones are Liam and which ones are Wyatt? I will say the bottom two pictures are two different boys, but man, do they have the same smile....

It is crazy to think that when Liam was Wyatt's age (20 months) we had a one month old at home.   I have been going through pictures to print out, and it has brought up a lot of memories of having a baby in the house.

I love it when the boys laugh.  the highlight of my life.

My new years resolutions:

make the boys smile every day

get down to pre-pregnancy weight and fitness by 2015

leave work on time at least three days a week

read 5 books a week while on maternity leave
