Weekend

It seemed like a really long weekend.

• Friday night Matt had some friends over to play poker and i went to dinner with a friend.
• Matt had to get up early Saturday morning to do PT and when he was done we laid down to take a quick nap and ended up sleeping for 4 hours! Then we babysat our friends 6 month old twins and 2 year old for a few hours.
• Sunday morning we had a 3D ultrasound and then we came home and matt worked on some shelves he is building and a bookcase and dresser he is staining for Landons room, and i printed all of our ultrasound pictures and put them in an album.

We have been really tired around here. No particular reason, just worn out. Matt is working hard and doing PT alot. He is also doing physical therapy 3 times a week, but it seems to be helping. He was able to take his walking boot off and is so excited to be wearing a regular shoe. I havent been feeling great. My throat hurts, my nose is running and ive had a constant headache for the last 3 days. No fever though so im hoping its just sinuses. My back and my hips are still hurting and i still cant sleep. At our ultrasound yesterday they said Landon weighed 4 pounds and 9 ounces. Im not sure if thats about normal or not. I havent been to the doctor in 2 weeks and i dont have another appointment until the 26th! That is the longest ive gone this whole pregnancy without going to the doctor.

Sweet Tea Blues

The only thing i have consistently craved throughout my pregnancy has beeen sweet tea. And of course here in Hawaii they dont believe in sweet tea. Theres mango tea, or rasberry tea, but no tea with just plain sugar. Yeah sure i can make it myself but then i have to wait for it to make, and then wait for it to get cold (because i HATE it when tea melts the ice). I miss just being able to drive through somewhere and get some sweet tea. I guess i will have to resort to making it myself and waiting. I bet we have used 2972358 pounds of sugar in the last 8 months.

Im pretty sure the really not fun part of the pregnancy has started. My back hurts, my hips hurt, i cant sleep, im tired all the time and dont even get me started on the mood swings! Poor matt. He gets up at 5am and goes to PT and then to work and then to PT again, and then he comes home and does the housework that i didnt do because i was too tired...all while walking on pins and needles, never knowing when im going to start yelling at him for no reason. He never complains or anything. He just apologizes and tries not to laugh. I can truly say that i am blessed with an amazing husband. And i owe him big time once this pregnancy is over!

babies!

As most of you know i was not the only one in my family that was pregnant this year. My cousins Shanna and Nikki were also expecting. Shanna was due mid October and Nikki was due towards the beginning of November.

Well i am happy to say that i am now the only cousin who hasnt popped! Shanna gave birth to Hayden Reed last Thursday, and Nikki gave birth the Grey James today. We are all so happy for both of them and i cant wait to meet my new 2nd cousins.
