Could it be....is it possible??

Is it possible that this little baby growing inside of me has 8 arms and legs?! 'CAUSE IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT!!! This little guy is the most active baby out of all of them, which has made it the most uncomfortable pregnancy as well. I'm not sleeping much. 1: It takes me FOREVER to get comfortable. 2: I can only sleep on my left side. He, for some reason, has his elbow's, knee's, hands or feet parked into my right rib cage...and as soon as I try to sleep on that side, he show's me who is boss by kicking the bed like crazy. I would probably sleep so much better if he wasn't making my right side his happy home. And 3: As soon as I get comfortable, BriAnn come's tripping into our room....so I have to get back up to put her back to bed. That happens probably 3-4 times a night. Any suggestions on how to solve that problem??

Baby Easton also wins the award for the baby having the most hiccups in a single day! He has them as I speak.....no kidding. I can always tell if he is head up or head down (it changes on a daily bases) by where I can feel his hiccups. If he is head down (which he currently is), I feel the hiccups more in my pelvis. If he is head up, I feel them more towards my rib cage. He gets them probably 5 times a day. Its crazy!

So....on Sunday I will have 5 weeks left!! I'm on the countdown! Up until now I didn't keep track of how long I had left. And now its not, "Oh, I have 6 weeks left." Its, "I have 5 1/2 weeks left!" The 1/2 makes it seem closer. LOL. Its going by fast though....he will be here before I know it. Heck, Eran is finishing up his 2nd week of school already!! Time is flying!! Which is a good thing, and a bad thing at the same time. I'm ready little mister....i'm ready to get my body back, and have the ability to chase, and wrestle, and pick up my kids without it killing me over. Here is a perfect example of my physical inability to keep up with the kids: EVERYTIME we go outside to play...Ethan has made it a game to run down the side walk as fast as he can (and believe you me, he is FAST for a 15 month old!) Even if he walks, I still can't catch him without running as fast as I can (which isn't very fast at all.) And as soon as I do catch him, he is almost at the end of the sidewalk, heading into the street...and my stomach starts contracting from trying to catch him. That little stinker pot!!! Soon I won't be waddling like a duck, and walking at the pace of a slug. =O) I can't wait!!! Or can I? Am I ready for mid-night feedings, and all that comes with a newborn? Uhhhhh......yeah.....I'm ready!

My tailbone is starting to feel much better! It still hurts a little.....and it hurts ALOT when i'm at church. But its getting there!! My doc. said delivering the baby shouldn't hurt it more. I really hope that she is right.

I took these pics for my sister-in-law, Emily. She made these way cute shirts for the kiddo's, and I have been wanted to take their pics in them for months now. Thanks for the shirts Emily!! They (and I) love them!!
