Happy New Year…from the FIVE of us!
January 2, 2013

I can’t seem to watch more than five minutes of Brave at a time without crying. The Celtic music makes me so emotional.

Okay second trimester; let’s do this.
January 7, 2013

Peanut has been down since 7:00, and Pumpkin is occupied building Jabba’s Palace with Keith. Prime opportunity for some Mommy Time, but all I want to do is sleep.

So, this baby is due the same month as Kate Middleton’s and Kim Kardashian’s, and possibly Jessica Simpson’s. What an interesting “due date club”.

So I’ve already packed on 10 pounds. Baby can’t weigh more than about 5 *ounces*.
This is going to be awesome.

Tomorrow, The Captain and I find out if Pumpkin and Peanut and I get another for Team Pink, or if he finally gets a buddy for Team Blue! Anyone want to guess? I’ll share what my intuition tells me…

Well…the verdict is in. The Captain and I are going to have to get into the habit of saying “the kids” instead of “the girls” when talking about our children!

The baby is attempting to make contact with me from the inside, via Morse code. What a little squirmer!

Bought some clothes for Baby Boy today. 🙂
February 1, 2013

Sorting clothes that used to be Pumpkin’s, and are now Peanut’s…for storage, for giving away, and the gender-neutral things for Baby Boy. Some of these clothes I have such an emotional connection to…so strange to think that I’ll never be seeing them hang in a closet again.

This will be my third summer where I am in the third trimester of a pregnancy. I just got out my summer maternity clothes…they are in sad, sad shape. The state of my white cotton shirts is especially embarrassing.

Apparently, there’s a maternity clothing brand called “Ripe”. Does anyone besides me find this icky?

I was making banana bread in the kitchen while The Captain romped very loudly with the girls in the living room. Baby Boy was thumping me harder than he ever has before, and more frequently! I think he wants to come out and play. 🙂

Baby Boy is just like his big sisters were…a dancing machine starting at 9:30ish, and going for an hour or more. 🙂
