How cute are they??

We just had pictures taken of Makenzie and Micah -- go check them out!  It's late and I'm tired (the story of my life), so I'll write more another day...SOON though, I promise!

I ALMOST forgot I was pregnant….

I’ve decided that EVERYTHING changes when you’re on round 3 of being pregnant…and I don't want to just take this pregnancy for granted because this baby isn't any less of a miracle than the first two, but life is busy....and that business just changes things!  For instance, with both the other kids I’ve taken regular belly pictures starting at 12 weeks, this time we finally took the first picture today (16 weeks).  With Makenzie I read about every book their was to read on being pregnant….with Micah I reread a couple of my favorites and this time, I haven’t even thought about reading a book – I think I’m doing good if I read my weekly email to see what baby is up to this week.  And today, I literally nearly forgot I was pregnant.  I honestly don’t know how – particularly given that I’ve been running around all day with my jeans unbuttoned because they’re just too tight AND just this morning I was giving this baby a serious lecture about how its time to be done making his/her mama sick now that we’re 16 weeks along (isn’t morning sickness supposed to end with the first trimester)?!?
But tonight, I was doing a little online shopping (wishing may be a better word) and I found the cutest sweater that I was seriously thinking about ordering…..and then I remembered that I’m pregnant, and already outgrowing most of my “normal” clothes….and that I’ll be pregnant until April 22nd (give or take a few days) which means sweater season will be over and gone before I could even fit into a sweater if I bought one.  So, I’m headed to the basement to do a little shopping….in my tub of maternity clothes from the last two pregnancies.  And I’m blaming my forgetfulness on this baby…my brain seems to be missing and I’m just hoping it comes back soon!
