I'm feelin it

I've been super lucky so far with this pregnancy and not "feeling" pregnant (other than the morning sickness at first) but as soon as 25 weeks hit, I was definitely feeling it. I had to go to church on Sunday by myself with the girls and we hadn't been in a couple weeks. Last week we were on our way, first week at 9:00 instead of 1:00, and we were early and everything. We got half way there and Kyla all of the sudden threw up in the van and got super sick. So we turned around and came back home. Dustin works every other weekend so I have to do it by myself which normally is fine, but man this week sucked! He had to work and it was our first Sunday at 9, which wasn't too bad, but it was just go, go, go. I don't know if I can do it by myself anymore with the 3 girls. I don't get stressed about it, I can just feel my body not being able to keep up with the girls. I came home and my legs were so swollen, which I haven't had yet, and I couldn't even sit down because they needed to eat and go down for a nap. They killed. I definitely didn't move off the couch much for the rest of the day.

So I just wanted to post the latest on it, since i've noticed some changes lately. I'm getting closer and we realized how close it really is. I have 14 weeks left. 14 weeks ago seems like yesterday so I know it'll be here way too soon.

I'm second guessing our names. I do that a lot. I am psycho when it comes to baby names and kind of obsess over them. I had one name picked out right after the twins were born which I knew would be our next baby's name if it was a girl. Then someone I knew had a baby and used the name. I was so mad. Ok, no she didn't know I had it picked out but I hate having the same name as someone I know, especially because I like more uncommon and more unique names. But then I think, who cares, if we love the name then use it, right?

I have 3 girls names and 2 of them I LOVE, one of those is the one I picked forever ago, and the other I think we like a little better and the 3rd I don't think we'll use, it looks cute but when you say it, it sounds weird. Boy names are done, as I said before, Dustin picked it out. Maybe we'll have a boy and we won't have to deal with the name drama of a girl. Then there is middle names... oh goodness, I have NO ideas for middle names.

So i'm going back blonde, this is getting ridiculous! As much as I liked the brown and I know lots of you did too, I have white roots every 3 weeks! I don't have time to get my hair done every 3 weeks. I'm a soon to be mom of 4 kids, 4 and under! Even though I do it myself, it's still a pain. I need something low maintenance right now, and blonde is the only way. So i'm hoping to be a darker blonde with some highlights. I streaked it already once, but of course it's a process, so we'll get there.

26 weeks. Crappy picture but that's what I get for taking them myself and they don't focus properly. Meh.

Anyways, so life is pretty low key right now. Ok, no it's not, I just pretend it is and that helps me get through it. Kyla is having some medical issues right now that i've been super stressed about and we're taking her to the pediatrician next week and might have to go to Edmonton to get some tests done. I don't think i've ever been so stressed and emotional in my life. It's hard seeing your child in pain and seeing her not being able to live her life to the fullest, and she is such a happy outgoing girl. It breaks my heart. I'll get into more detail when we find out what's going on. Dustin gave her a blessing on Sunday and the next day she was almost back to the Kyla we know. We just need to figure out what to do to help her get 100% better.

So that's life lately. I thought the new year would be great but so far all it's been is stress and exhaustion. I get a decent amount of sleep so that's good and the girls are so easy going and happy. It's mostly Kyla with her condition, and the frustration of being held back because of the pregnancy. Not much longer. I don't know which will be worse though, 3 kids and pregnant, or 4 kids! I have an appt tomorrow finally, it's only been a few months, ha, but i'm sure things are going good still!

I'm super grateful I have a seriously incredible husband, and good friends who love and help me when I need it. I'm super blessed.
