Sunday

Last week’s Ob appointment went well and didn’t last long. Actually, it was cut short by a call from the school so I forgot to schedule my induction. If I’m being honest, I’d rather him come on his own time before the doctors feel they need to intervene. I’m pretty big now. I’ve put on 4lbs in the last two weeks and I’ve crossed the 160lb threshold putting me close to the 20lb-25lb recommended weight gain. I’ll probably be right on target. Beau is continually getting stronger and is still really active. The boys love putting their hands on my belly and interacting with him. It’s really sweet to see them bonding already. They excite when they can feel him move. As tired as I am, I’m enjoying these last few weeks. 

Our schedule has been hectic and I missed my bumpie and neglected to journal all last week. Oh, and what would one of my pregnancies be without some family drama. Fortunately, I’ve learned a lot about myself these past four years and have adopted some new practices that made it easier to deal with, this go around. Despite better coping skills, it was still time-consuming. We’ve since worked past those issues. Brian is almost caught up on his Fantasy Comic League stuff and I’m still going the best I can hahaha Now that soccer season is over, we can clear out the van, put the back seats up, and move the boys’ car seats to the last row. When Beau arrives, his car seat will be in the second row and I’ll sit back there with him. The same way I did with Parker. Lincoln had Parker to keep him company 🙂 Brian says he’ll be alright sitting up in the front by himself. With six weeks to go, this should be plenty of time for the boys to get used to their new seating arrangements. 

Wednesday

I’m like Neyo, “  “so sick” of being hungry. OMG. I didn’t have a decent dinner last night and went to bed hungry. I had heartburn and felt full so I just didn’t eat. Ugh. I just had breakfast. A filling bowl of honey and oats cereal but I’m still hungry. Drinking a lot of water isn’t helping with hunger either. I’ve go to figure something out because I need to keep my nutrition up these last few weeks and I don’t do hungry. Not to make light of a serious situation, but intentional starvation isn’t for the faint and it’s not for me. It never has been. I’ve always been the type to eat when I’m hungry. Diets? Don’t do ‘em I eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that and try to balance it out. I don’t deny myself food. So yeah, It’s 7:24am and I’m hangry. It’s too early. Beau feels fine though. Feels like he’s waking up. He reminds me so MUCH of Parker with how much he moves around. Anyways, I’m going to have some prunes and juice before getting started with water today and maybe that will satisfy these hunger pangs. Maybe I can get a little bit of studying this morning too….
