Back from a Long Hianus, I mean Hiatus.
I was going to upload pictures today, but I took the camera away from Evan, and now I don't remember where I put it... hmmm... This is most unfortunate.
So, since I last wrote, which seems forever ago, we put our new flooring in. The computer just got hooked back up in the normal fashion, (Andrew had it hooked up to the TV which hurt my eyes and neck to look at) so I'm just now able to get on here and do normal internet-y things. I will post pictures of the flooring (before and after) as soon as I find that dang camera...
I've been wanting to write for awhile, though. Not long ago, Andrew posted a video on his facebook wall and dedicated it to me.
This is that song:
Not that many people commented on it, so I'm thinking that not that many people noticed it, or maybe they just didn't care, but the whole point is... I'm having Andrew's baby. :)
I'm 13 weeks along (out of 40 for those not familiar with pregnancy talk. I know I wasn't before I had kids.). We're excited. It's funny when you're pregnant with your third kid b/c the reactions are so different than when you're pregnant with your first or even your second. I called every member of my family to tell them, and I mostly got, "That's cool. Congrats." My sister-in-law Anna reacted just how I wanted her to, "YAAAAY! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" I loved that. :) My sister Amy said, "I KNEW YOU WERE PREGNANT! I KNEW IT! YOU LIED TO ME WHEN I ASKED YOU BEFORE!" haha I don't remember that conversation, but she swears I did.
The thing is even though the rest of the world isn't that excited about it, I am. Even though this is my third go round, I still think the whole process is amazing, and I can't wait to start feeling that little booger move, find out what it is, and see its little face and hold it in my arms.
So far, though, all I've felt is sick and tired. Exhausted. Barely able to function. I'm hoping that since I'm in the second trimester now that will all end soon. *crosses fingers* I'm pretty sure I've felt worse with this pregnancy than my other two. I'm really grouchy, too. My poor kids. They've suffered, and I feel bad for that.
I've started showing a lot faster this time which was kinda depressing for me since we decided we weren't telling anybody until I was out of the first trimester. I felt/feel fat and ugly. But I try to remind myself that there IS a baby in there, and that it's not just me getting fat. I've been taking pictures of myself with my phone and sending them to my sister b/c we send pictures to each other all the time b/c we're cool like that. Here are some from the last few weeks.
10 weeks
This was the Sunday a kid asked if I was pregnant. I asked him who told him that, and he just looked down at my belly and back up at my face. I turned around and didn't respond. haha
11 weeks
I know. This is hot, right?
12 weeks
I broke out the maternity clothes this week. I love how Lauren is peeking over the sink. :)
Evan and Lauren are excited about having a new baby. Evan really, REALLY wants a baby brother, and says that it's name will be Rollin, like Rollin Down the River. haha He honestly always refers to the baby as Baby Rollin. Andrew and I already had a name picked out for a boy, but I told Andrew maybe we should change it to Rolan (not Rollin) since Evan seems so set on it. We're still thinking it over. Lauren asks me about the baby in my belly, and she thinks she has one in HER belly. I keep telling her that only mommies have babies, not little girls.
I think they'll both be okay when I have the baby. My sister-in-law Sarah just had a baby, and they both think he's the stuff. Evan told me, "He's the cutest guy." He just loves baby Jetson. Lauren might be slightly jealous b/c she is mommy's girl through and through, but she loves babies, so maybe that will win over her love for mommy.
So, there you have it. Our big news. Baby Brown #3 is on its way! :D
