Today I had an appointment at 33 weeks, 3 days. I measured at 32 weeks, which I'm hoping means this baby will be on the small size! (Judah was 7lbs, 11oz and Samuel was 8lbs, 9oz). I'm really excited because I have a tenative date set to have this baby....Friday, April 25th. Yay! It all completely depends on how far I am dilated and how ripe my cervix is, but going by my last pregnancies, I should be more than ready. With the boys I was dilated 4 or 5cm a week or two before the baby was born.
My midwife, Cheryl, said that I'm going to have this baby in a little over a month, so I should start getting his stuff ready. So far we've done nothing. I need to get out all the clothes and start washing them and figure out where they should go!

New Hair, Big Belly
Eric, Judah, and Samuel all got our hair cut this week. I need to take a better pictures of Judah's because it's SO cute! She (Adrienne) gave him a faux hawk and it looks so adorable all gelled up!
33 weeks, 1 day...getting BIG!

Ultimate Blog Party
I'm excited about participating in the Ultimate Blog Party again this year! All of you should check it out if you haven't already. Add your site to the Mr. Linky and check out the list of mommy blogs. Also, enter to win one of tons of fun prizes! (My personal favorite part of the party!!)
I'd love to win:
-A super cute and trendy sling from Modmum. My favorite is the "Olivia"
- A Moby Wrap from Christine from dates to diapers. The Moby is in Sienna, which is a burnt orange. Very fun!
- $50 to Kids Magical Wonder. Again, I think I'd use it for a sling. I want to get a Beco (or Ergo) when Baby Tiny gets bigger, but I really want a sling or moby for when he's tiny.
Or, any of the following (in order of preference):
60, 137, 140, 129, 28, 2, 18, 19, 1, 141, 45, 67, 24, 123
Or, anything for a 3 yr old, almost 2 yr old, or newborn boy!
Thank you 5 Minutes for Mom!

Hilarious!
My sister in law, Kim, is in town for a few days. It was so fun hanging out with her last night, as the last time we saw her was in October. The highlight for Eric (other than seeing his sister) was playing with photobooth on her laptop. Eric said he took about 30 pictures...it was the first time I'd ever seen him take pictures of himself!
Kim- I hope we see you again before your big day!!

Strange
Last night before cell group I was pushing a box (of my outgrown clothes) with my foot into the bathroom. I felt something pop and a pain, but I didn't think much about it. Hoping it would go away. After cell I still felt the pain, but I didn't say anything because 1) it's kind of embarrassing, because the pain is in my pelvis and 2) I was hoping it would just go away.
After everyone went home I had Eric put the boys in the bath and to bed because I couldn't even walk. I just sat in one place for the next hour and a half while Eric was at the prayer meeting, but when he got home I tried to walk and couldn't really. I took some tylenol and went to sleep very uncomfortably. Everytime I had to wake up to pee was horrible!
When I woke up this morning I called the midwife because I still had pain. I thought I had pulled my groin muscle, but she said it was probably a muscle in my uterus. I am supposed to stay off my feet today....ha! That's a little difficult with boys who need breakfast, juice, diaper changes, help going pee-pee. We're still in our jammies and Eric is bringing us lunch. I'm trying to do as little as possible hoping that when I wake up tomorrow morning this pain will be completely gone.
Another thing about staying off my feet means that I have to stay home. I'm not a very good at home person. We usually leave the house everyday to run errands, go to Barnes & Noble, walks in the park, or to the playground, especially on a nice day like today! It's one thing when you're sick and can't get out of bed, it's a whole different thing when you want to be outside!

My boys
I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I am over 31 weeks pregnant now and will probably have this baby around 38 weeks...which means, less than 7 weeks to go! How can that be? Several girls I know in real life and some of the ladies' whose blogs I read have had their babies in the last few days/weeks, and I know that means I'm coming up soon. I can't wait to meet this little man! Although, I want to revel in this time I have with just Judah and Samuel.
I haven't even started getting anything ready for Baby Tiny. I haven't gone through any of the clothes, we don't even have a bed for him, what else do I even need to do? It's so different the third time around. I keep telling Eric we need to start buying the things we need, but he wants to wait. I think it seems far away to him, but I know it's going to sneak up on us.
My boys are so smart! I know every mom thinks that, but I just have to tell you the things that they are doing. (And record them for myself) Judah can spell his name, recognize a lot of his letters, knows what sounds many of them make, knows that m is for mama, p is for papa, r is for robb (grandpa), s is for samuel, sing many, many, many songs. He's always telling people, "I like music. I play the guitar and drums." And then Samuel says, "I play the drums and bass." Samuel can count to 11, sing Jesus Loves Me, the abcs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, London Bridges, and several songs from church. My grandma got Judah this little Baby Bible with Sunday School songs in it and Judah can sing along to everyone in there.
Tonight during cell group our babysitter, Golden, called Judah and another little girl into the room. She said, "What did God make on the first day?" Judah said, "Day! And, night!" And, she said, "And it was...?" He said, "Good!"
He's so excited about his baby brother and always asks to hold him. Today he said, "I want to hold and see Baby Tiny everyday. Will you help me?" Judah become a big brother for the first time at 18 months. He was so little and I don't think he even remembers his life without Samuel. This time he fully understands everything that's going on. He loves to read books with pictures of babys and even asks about my uterus. So funny!
I think Samuel thinks that Baby Tiny is my belly button. He'll be in for a surprise.... Samuel is much more a mommy's boy than Judah was. It might be a little bit of an adjustment for him, but I'm sure he'll do great. We'll just give him extra love and cuddles!
So, I guess that was mostly for me (oh, and the relatives)...
