Such a pain in the rear!!

I cannot even begin to tell you how much this baby is a pain in my rear.... and I mean literally! My lower back and but-tocks (say it like Forrest Gump and it's funnier) hurt so so SO bad. It hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to lay down.... hurts to just BE.

30 days to go, or so my ticker says. I went to the doctor on Friday and my blood pressure was up to 140/100. Doc said if it didn't go down she'd send me to L&D to be monitored. I stayed there at the doc's office, laying on my left side, for about 30 minutes and it went down so I avoided L&D at least for the day.

Jack is still breech so c-section is still a possibility. Guess we will not know for sure if he's going to turn for a couple more weeks.

We did get Jack's room all painted and set up last weekend. I am so relieved to finally have that done! I think it looks great! Just have a few little decorative touches to work on to completely finish it!

Pics to come soon!

Yeah, what I said about trying to do better with keeping up with this blog... well... I really meant it! Really, I did! But as they say "Life gets in the way".

So since April a lot has happened. I mentioned that we are having a new addition to the family and I have 44 more days to go! Baby Jack is due November 24th. I don't think I will go that long though, just a feeling. Right now he is breech, with his little head lodged on my left side. This pregnancy has been a LOT different than with Brenna. I think I look more pregnant that's for sure! Jack is already a bruiser, he's knocked a rib out of place on my right side and my back has been killing me for a few months now. No bueno if you ask me!

When we found out we were having a boy Brandon immediately started trying to sell me on doing a pirate nursery. I was like "Umm... over my dead body" and a flat out "no". Then I wandered into a baby store and happened to see the cutest pirate crib bedding. After consulting with my posse (Sonya, Joanne, Marina) I showed it to Brandon and that was all she wrote. So we are having a pirate nursery and I can't wait. We are 44 days away and the room hasn't even been painted yet. That's happening next weekend. I can't wait to see it all come together!

Well it's been almost a year since my last update... I kinda forgot I had a blog! LOL!

Brenna is almost 3 years old now, where has the time gone?? Seriously, someone tell me!! She is so fun. She says the funniest things and always has me laughing.

For example, I was taking her to daycare one day and their project for the day was about Easter. As I was buckling her into her carseat I asked her "Do you know about Easter?" and got a blank stare. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Easter is about Jesus

Brenna: Jesus?

Me: Yes (suddenly not sure how to discuss the resurrection with a 2 1/2 year old so I say)

Me: It's when Jesus came back

Brenna: Jesus on vacation?

So there it is. I'll try to do better updating this blog with the funny and thought provoking things that come from the mouths of my little one!!

And in November we will have a new little one to blog about too! Brenna's preference for a brother or sister changes daily so I will keep everyone posted on the progress!
