I cannot complain about my pregnancies. Overall, they are pretty easy and go pretty well. But I am starting to get to that stage where I can't seem to catch my breath and have to concentrate not to waddle (because I refuse to waddle!)and turning over in bed feels like an Olympic event. So, today I will concentrate on two lovely aspects of pregnancy:
1) Cleavage. It is the only time in my life that I have any to speak of. Unfortunately, the 'Orca Whale Phenomenon' that is happening to the rest of my body makes it pretty impossible for the cleavage to be sexy...oh well, I'll take what I can get.
2)Less shaving. I hardly grow any leg hair when I am pregnant and can get by with shaving once a week. Which is good, because that is getting more difficult these days too.
Five weeks to go!

The Magic of Motherhood
- 5/22 I found Matthew in his closet looking for some shoes today. I said, "Which ones are you looking for?" thinking I could help him look. He replied, "Ummmm, the ones I'm looking for." He wasn't being snotty or anything. Just a perfectly logical answer in his little boy mind.
- Emma loves to decorate the house and make it all fancy. In the midst of one such decorating frenzy she told me, "If you want, you can call me designer girl!"
- Emma asked me the other day, "Why do the policemans have these, like, wand things that they can conk the bad men on the heads with? Maybe it is so they can under arrest them."
- I heard Emma say to the little kids, "You guys! Get out of here! I am making a bra for my boobies!" I looked in their room and sure enough, she was fashioning a bra out of tissue paper.
- Matthew gave me a big kiss good night and then announced, "That makes us happy. It makes me happy and it makes you happy. Yep, it makes us happy."
- 5/11 Matthew fell and had a big red rug burn on his forehead. Emma told him, "Well, at least it is red and matches your hair, perhaps."
- 5/11 Matthew was telling me a big story about how "I got this on twos-day and this on threes-day..."
- 4/23 I put Sophie in a time out this morning for hitting Emma. I could tell I really got through to her because when I went to let her out she was hopping all around. She beamed at me and said, "I dancing!"
- 3/20 Matthew told me today that he wanted to wear some of my jewelry and I told him that boys don't wear jewelry. I know they do, I just didn't want him to wear mine. Emma was listening and replied "Boys can wear earrings if they're in a band and they're rockin' out."
- After a game of hide and seek I told the kids they were good hiders. Matthew smiled a self satisfied little smile and said, "Yep! We sure are hidey!"
- Emma was eating breakfast and naming all the fingers on her hand, "This is the pointer finger, and this is the ring finger, and this is the pinky..." and Matthew stuck his thumb up and said, "Yeah! And this is the good job finger!"
- Matthew and Sophie were in one of their frequent squabbles the other day and Emma informed me that Matthew had hit Sophie and then Matthew informed me that Sophie hit him first. Does your head start to hurt when you read that? Because mine does when I hear it...So I started lecturing Matthew,"Just because she hits you it doesn't mean you hit her back..." and he interrupted me to say, "I didn't hit her back! I hit her tummy!!"
- Emma was trying on a bunch of clothes that her cousin had grown out of (thanks Jenny!) and there were three swimming suits in the box. She loved trying them all on but one was a little loose in the bosom area. Emma announced, "This one doesn't fit me. It's a booby poker outer."
- I am always reminding Matty "make sure your hoo hoo is down" when he is going potty so we don't have a big mess (and then he doesn't slip and fall in it - true story). So one day at a restaurant I had Matthew and Sophie with me in the stall and as I sat down Matthew reminded me, "Mommy, make sure your hoo hoo is down."
- Matthew was in the bathroom going potty and I heard him tooting up a storm. Then I heard him say to no one in particular, "Maybe the toots are talking. And they are saying 'Po-op! Poopy!'"
- Dec 21 When I woke up this morning I found Matthew rubbing his hands all over a bra that I had left out by my bed. He told me, "I just love this. It is so beautiful." Do they just come hardwired with a boob attratction?!
- Dec 15 Emma picked up a piece of ribbon today and said, "This looks like Santa's wacker for his reindeer." It took me a minute to figure out she meant a whip.
- Dec 9 Emma came out of the bathroom this morning just as Matthew was heading in. He told her, "Emma you are stinky!" She was all offended and yelled back at him, "Matthew! It's not my body! It's my POOP!"
- Dec 5 Today Emma was eating her lunch and she knocked her napkin on the ground. She announced to me, "Mom. My napkin falled on the ground." I asked her if that was my cue to jump up and get it. She told me, "Welllll, I wouldn't want you to get bored."
- Dec 1 Emma had a friend over to play the other day and they were talking about watching the movie "The Princess Diaries." Matthew heard them and complained loudly, "NO! I don't want diarrhea!"

Yay - 5 weeks to go! I'm such a baby when I'm prego. I complain all the time...so I appreciated your list of positives. Not to mention the new little person you're growing inside! Can't wait to see her. You and Johnny make cute babies.
Hey, did you get the e-mail about the pics of your kids? I was hoping to get it done by tomorrow because Christin and I are heading to St. George this weekend. I have a giant favor to ask too...do you think maybe you could call Michael and Dean and get them to send me pics too?...sorry to be so pushy. I just know it would make her really happy to have pics of all her little great-grandkids in one book.
Hilarious! Glad you are looking at the positive aspects. Soon you will have that sweet little baby in your arms. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
yeah for cleavage!
and i never shaved during the last few weeks of pregnancy, and i assure you that it was very hairy!
Five weeks will just fly by...I'm sure. I will someday have real, live cleavage? And your daughter is hilarious.
At least these last few weeks you are not alone!!! And, you can always hope for a little early baby! Do you have names?
So many lovely aspects of pregnancy! What a positive outlook! Call me in a week;)
Are you also getting the sympathetic OHHH! at church when people see you walking down the hall. Good luck with the name I completely understand.
i totally hear ya on the cleavage thing. lasts through nursing too and then seems to just disappear. i bet you are one cute preggo gal. i'm glad that your pregnancies are "easy" but even so it's still hard to be pregnant and all the changes your body goes through. thanks for sharing the positives though!
I hear you on this post. Boy do I ever! And I CANNOT stop laughing at Emma's comments. I can't wait until Sydney starts talking... such entertainment!
Yeah!! You only have 5 weeks left! Sade keeps asking to play with Emma and she knocks on your front door every day (well your old one.) Hope everything is going well for you guys!! We miss you!
Kudos to you for focusing on the positive. I am so glad that I am not doing that right now. There is something so special about having a baby though. Hopefully you can continue to endure the difficult and cherish those special moments. Love you!
Oh you crack me up! I remember all too well trying to roll over in bed. I sure don't miss those moments. I can't believe it's only 5 more weeks! So exciting.
Yeah, we're almost there!!!! You still up for the race to see who has their baby first?
I totally hear you on the turning over in bed....quite the spectacle for me! And then the getting out of bed to go to the bathroom several times throughout the night, I'm surprised I haven't injured myself in the journey to get to the bathroom!!!! :)
I can't wait for our baby girls to come!!! Good luck and hang in there!! Less than a month left!
I am so jelous that you have cleavage! Ha ha! That's one thing I like during pregnancy too. I actually miss the preg look. I think the whole prego look is beautiful. I read what you wrote about things Emma says. She is a doll! What a personality she has! How fun. When are you due? I'm so excited for you.
just checking in on you! wow, now you're down to 3 weeks, right? so you're in your own place now? are you feeling ready for this baby to make her appearance (i mean besides being ready not to be prego anymore).
emma is so hilarious!!!! i'm so glad you write what she says. she makes me laugh!!
we sure miss you around here!
