Well hello third trimester

I am so happy and giddy with excitement right now friends. I can't believe that the third trimester with baby #3 is here. It's so surreal and awesome. In less than 3 months, we'll be holding our 3rd baby (God willing). Happy dance, giggles, and feeling of extreme happiness are overflowing over here. This is probably my favorite milestone of pregnancy.

I actually talked to my boss about maternity leave plans this past week and we are only 10 weeks away from maternity leave, wowzer. Considering how fast time goes during the holiday season, I know it won't be long before I am counting down the days until his arrival.

My glucose test came and went without any issues. Baby #3 is growing as he should and doing awesome in there. The belly doesn't seem that big but I am measuring right on target. I don't make big babies so it's no surprise. I am currently loving this belly and the baby growing inside :)
I am still exhausted all the time but that comes with the territory. I am also having a more difficult time carrying Jbird everywhere, dude that baby is 25lbs of delicious goodness and lately he's been attached to my hip from the moment I get home until he goes to bed. I don't want him to feel left out so I indulge but hopefully this season passes and he goes back to being an independent little boy
Tman is getting really excited. He felt the baby kick and now it's he's new addiction. All he wants to do is touch my belly to feel kicks. It is just so cute you don't even know. Jbird has no idea what is going on, or maybe he does and that's why he is so clingy.
I am so happy to be here, the 3rd trimester of our 4th pregnancy and hopefully 3rd baby. God is good, we continue to pray and hope that all goes well and come February, we bring our 3rd son home
In the morning before we took the belly pics, I was at home alone with both boys. Since Jbird has been super clingy and wants me to pick him up, I put my Ergo baby carrier to good use and put him on my back so that I could make pancakes for breakfast. How stereotypical is this, bare feet, pregnant with a baby on the back, a toddler running around cooking in the kitchen. I had to take a pic of this masterpiece as it is proof that I don't always look glamorous :).
"Children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them" Psalm 127 3-5

  9. Yay so close!! You look terrific. I have no idea how you do it!! The newborn phase is hard and definitely trying a lot of the time. I keeping thinking how crazy it would be if we had a toddler running around while taking care of Charlotte. I have no idea if I could do a second child. You are awesome!
