Pumpkins, pumpkins...

NOT MY BELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but just how I feel today- big as a pumpkin....about as attractive as one too. It's those lovely days of pregnancy when you feel and look pregnant- nice round face, nice round belly, nice round clothes....ugh....This is a day when I hate my hair (thank you Beth my hairdresser who refused to cut it for me today...she told me she will do nothing but trim until I deliver....no matter how much I beg and plead just like I made her promise me at the beginning of my pregnancy) hate my clothes (just want my nice normal things back) and am tired of being tired!!!

To top it off I am in LOVE with anything sweet. I am trying so hard to eat healthy and keep up with my exercising (so far at 24 weeks I have gained 20 lbs. according to dr.) but anything pumpkin makes me throw that out the window!!

As I sit here tonight, I have pumpkin muffins in the oven. It's the battle of willpower or work it off later....as the buzzer rings I know which one is winning....

The name game...

Oh how I dread the name game....
Why is it SOOOOO hard to find a name that:
1. Both parents agree on
2. Sounds right with our last name
3. Other people like
Ugh....
This has led me to the dreaded book store to look for the "magic" name that works for us. This is always the hardest part for us....okay....labor is not exactly a breeze either but at least there is an epidural for that!!

Suggestions welcome, but probably not taken! :)

weekly smiles

Things to smile about this week....

• Katelynn scored 4 goals at her soccer game last night
• Katelynn has a new name everyday that she insists we give to her sister (none of which we like)
• Katelynn says she refuses to talk to the baby if name her the name we like (still debating...this could make for a very quiet house....)
• Our operation "goodbye spongebob" (aka locking all tv channels) has made our lives SOOO peaceful
• Brent does his homework now without complaining
• Brent shares so and helps with his brother and sister
• Matthew whispers at night when he walks into his own room to go to bed and whispers goodnight (as if not to disturb himself...hehehe)
• Matthew still loves to cuddle
• Picnic at the park in the beautiful weather Sunday night with the kids
• A sweet husband that helps me with the daily routines of keeping up with 3 kids and a very tired wife
• Bitesize chocolate....which will make me frown post baby as I sweat it off...
• Pumpkin anything food season- love it all
