lane and my bellythis pregnancy is kicking my tail. it doesn't really take much for me to be completely wiped out. a friend at church once said of her pregnancy that she could get winded chopping a carrot. it is so true! a normally pleasant walmart trip (ha! is there such a thing?) has turned into me debating if davis could actually help me push the cart, hoping i don't burst into tears before we reach produce due to sheer exhaustion, wondering if the box of oreo cakesters will add enough weight to the cart that it will be hard to make it to the car. my sweet husband has been going with me to grocery shop (which is such a blessing) but some weeks it doesn't work out that we can make it a fun-filled family trip, and this week was one of them.
i was able to wrench my engagement ring off of my finger a couple of months ago, but i am yet to pry my wedding band off. we have tried every trick we have heard of, even wrapping floss around my finger - a method i don't recommend, i mean, when your finger shrivels up and dies due to lack of blood flow, the ring is easy to remove, but is that the outcome i'm going for? so we are going to have to cut my ring. this is hard for me for many reasons, i am sure you can figure them out- i am getting bored with this paragraph so i am moving on.
i also gained waay too much last month - cakesters, anyone? the nurse practitioner last visit, very kindly told me to try to watch my weight, and i nod and mumble something about sugary cereals being so yummy. i am offically a loon.
i am returning the bedding we have purchased for sweet ellen and getting another set that will be more fun for me, i think. they are very similar, with pink and tulips, but one set has burgandy accents, the other has chocolate brown accents, and you know, hey, i am all about chocolate these days and burgandy (no offense to the two of you reading) is just not a sweet baby girl color. so this change makes me happy.
please know that i don't take for granted for one second the wonderful gift that sweet, heavy ellen is. i am thankful that our great God has chosen to expand this crazy-tail family we have. i just have had a pity party this week and this will count as therapy.
(no, we don't dress like this often, this was back from the nat'l championship game)

Well, Angie, so nice to "hear" your voice over the blog-waves! You'll have a three-some of kiddos much like mine...two boys then a girl! Jacob: 5, Joel: almost 4, Anna: just turned 2. Walmart trips with all three of them?: torture. Check out our blog at www.vontress5.wordpress.com

Blogs! I need to get one ... I miss you girls! Are you on Skype?

Angie -- TAG, you're it! Go to my blog for the "rules."
Angie . . . you are speaking my language! I'm at 20 weeks and I am so tired I don't want to do ANYTHING. Cooking an entire meal is a very daunting task. And I don't even have 2 other little ones to chase around! Whew, this gtowing a baby thing is HARD WORK!
mandy, it is so true. every one told me to get my rest when i was pregnant with davis, because i would never have that rest time again. let that sweet hubby of yours spoil you! i do still try to take a nap everyday, otherwise i would fall asleep at 7pm i think. :) 20 weeks - half way, hooray! you look great, by the way!!
