Third Trimester Tales

I am in my third trimester! My time is running out on getting things ready for the big day!

We just moved into a different house and that has caused for more work than a normal nester would have to do during this final curve of the pregnancy track. Putting a house together is more than I should be doing right now. However, I am not doing it all alone. I have many (and mini) helpers helping me each day with this task. Hopefully I will have most of it done before the baby comes.

On a more happy note: The baby is doing just great! Movement is felt ALL THE TIME! Hiccups occur atleast twice a day. It is fun to watch all the little kicks and rolls. I am getting big and gaining weight rapidly now. My due date is on Dec. 11th but I always go late. I talked to my wonderful doctor and he said that he usually doesn't let his patients go past 10 days. This puts me not going past the 21st. No Christmas Baby! Hopefully I won't have to be induced and Chloe can keep her day just to herself. I am hoping for the 17th myself. Michael and I were sealed on that day in 2005 and this is our first child to be born since then. I think that would be special. But by the time the 11th comes and goes I am sure I won't really care on what day as long as it comes soon.

The kids are doing great despite all the kaos that is going on in our new place. Mason has learned how to write his own name and is learning to write other things as well. Melody is working on the letter E so she can spell her name too. She has all the other letters mastered just not the tricky E. Caleb is reading all the time. He is mainly working on his spelling. That is something HE wants to master. Caleb also just earned his Bear in scouts. He is so excited. We worked so hard. I am proud of him. Mason can't wait to turn 8 now so he can be in scouts as well. Melody just wants me to get rid of the belly so she has a lap to sit in again.

Well I had better end this post...the baby has decided to sit on my bladder again!
