I will be 36 weeks on Wednesday and I'm starting to feel it. My hips hurt and my tailbone starts hurting if I sit in the same position for too long. I had a doctor who I maybe saw three times since we've moved here and I didn't like it, so I changed to a midwife and love her already. The midwives at the Clinic seem to care more about what I want and they want to help me in any way they can. I am wanting to have a Vbac and to go natural, so we shall see. I have been practicing Hypnobirthing and I feel it is going well. I feel more confident now that I have someone who seems to really care about what I want and feel.
I haven't ballooned like I did when I was pregnant with the twins and I am so thankful. My feet haven't even swollen yet but I am sure that will come. Many women say they hate being pregnant during the summer but I have enjoyed it. I have been a lot more active during this pregnancy because the boys and I could do more outside and I have mostly gained baby weight, so things are going pretty well. I am excited to see our little guy and to see if he looks like his brothers. We still have a few more things we need to do to be prepared for him but I think we are mostly ready. I have been taking advantage of sleep and naps because I know once this baby comes things are going to be different and there will be a lot of sleep deprivation I am sure. Any who we are excited for our little Evan to come. :)
Aiden and Oliver are great and doing well. They are super cute and play together and get into trouble daily. They love to tease each other which always leads to one of them crying or whining. It get's a little old sometimes but I guess that's how it is with 2 almost 2 1/2 year olds. They actually are really good at listening and behaving but they have their moments. They love to sing and play with trains and cars and blocks. They are great with their counting and once they reach ten their counting usually continues like this.. "11 15 16 18 20". They know their alphabet and we sing them daily along with twinkle little star. They know most of their colors and shapes. I love when after we get done with their flash cards Ollie will ask me, "Mommy what's this?" and I will respond with the right answer and he will say "Yes mom, good job!" It is so cute. My boys are very smart and speak very well, not to brag or anything. :) The boys have shown a lot of interest in helping now that they are older and want to help with everything. It is fun to let them do some things like help with the dishes or help when I am baking. A lot of times they think they can help themselves and it doesn't always work out. The boys love to draw and have learned to stay in the lines of the notebook when drawing circles. We have some pages full of just tiny little circles or lines that they say are rainbows or snakes, and occasionally mommy or daddy when it looks like it could be eyes.
I am going to try to keep better updated on the blog especially since we don't live as close to family now so wish me luck. :)
