I can’t really catch you up on 2 months worth of crap so lets just do the basics.

Hubs started flight school but got pneumonia which put him a couple classes behind where he started, but he is back in school again.

His new graduation date is Nov 4th. Baby’s due date is Nov 7th. This should be interesting.... My kids always come early, although the last one was only one week early. What this means to me is that I will need to hold baby inside me for as long as possible…which is always the hardest thing for me mentally, and physically.

I cook babies faster than most. Tosh was 2 weeks early and still weighed 9.6lbs. My last was only one week early and only 8 lbs something, but between my depression and my overweightness (is that a word?) lol, and my age, keeping babies in for 40 whole weeks is hellish!!

I always carry tons of water. I mean tons. I drink water everyday, most of the day. Even at night, which of course means numerous trips to the bathroom at night, which ends up being only 2-3 hours of sleep at a time. I am miserable the last few weeks of pregnancy.

We’ll see how his graduation and the baby coming works out bc with my kids coming early, graduation may get right in the way. It is going to be all at once a big mess but somehow we’ll do it. He doesn’t have to take time off after baby comes bc he hopes to be there for the birth, then graduate, then he gets time off anyway due to his next school not starting up again for a while.

My therapist is so sweet. I complain about how it’s going to be misery and she naively says, or maybe it will be great! and you’ll have tons of energy and love it!

I laughed so hard when she said that. Riiight, doc. Whatever you gotta tell yourself but your fooling no one. Especially not me.

Its fine. I signed up for this and this is my last babe. I’ll be fine. (But I still get to complain whenever I want bc who’s going to stop me?)

Baby is probably growing just fine. He is kicking me everyday now. Sometimes it is so hard, it feels like contractions. Yup, 5 more months of this fun! But at least I know he’s okay in there when I feel him kick.

Teagan is done potty training, mostly. He still has accidents but he isn’t in daycare anymore. He is only babysat by my friend here. Her son is also 3 so she’s good with reminding him to go pee often.

Not sure what else to tell you. Summer is fine with the kids home. I see my husband more than expected. Days when it rains, which is a lot, he can not fly so he’s home early.

It is wicked hot here. I stay inside mostly but we do hit up the local pool at least once a week. Both kids are getting the hang of swimming. And of course, Tt has his floaty which allows him to go everywhere.

There’s probably a whole bunch of other stuff I could update on but I’m tired. It’s only 9pm. yeah. Plus my brain is shot.... we’ll blame that on pregnancy too. Tired and pregnancy brain. sure. that’s it.

I love being able to blame everything on pregnancy.
