Smells are enemies this week. Can't stand the smell of anything and all I want to eat is citrus and watermelon.

Next appt. is this Friday. Anxious to tell my doctor how the prenatals melted upon themselves.

There'a about a little over a week of school left for Ellie and then it's our trip to Disneyland. I'm feeling a bit aprehensive about it just because I'm me.

Things to do this week, color my hair, update my driver's license. It's expiring just like 33 years.

Morning sickness with #3

I haven't said too much about this pregnancy thus far. I feel a bit removed and exhausted and sleepy and hungry and nauseated all the time. With Ellie's pregnancy, I threw up a few times, usually before bedtime and the feeling to throw up lingered well into the second trimester. With Kate's pregnancy, the morning sickness came and went like clockwork and with a vengance. I've never felt so bad, but it went away like a storm, much like kate's temper. With this pregnancy, the morning sickness kind of snuck up on me. I'm hoping that it will go away in a couple of weeks. My next doctor's appt. is at the end of this month.

Why is Kate always on the left? Or is it right?...depending on your perspective.

I miss the sunshine.

Kate looks like she's been sucka puched. Ouch! That girl is a trooper though, all smiles. I'm sure Jae will have more to say about the ER trip, it will be one he will never forget. =)

#3

It's official. Jae and I are expecting baby #3 and we couldn't be more excited. Ellie is extremely excited about the baby and keeps asking when he will arrive. She wants a baby brother because she already has a sister. Of course, it's all about her. =)

I plan on delivering this baby at a different hospital. I was a bit disappointed with the hospital where I delivered Kate. This one's not too far and the doctor's office is only a 20 minute drive. I truly desired to deliver where Ellie was delivered, but it's much much too far away and the doctor's office there is always so busy.

The due date is December 7th...about 33 more weeks to go.

The morning sickness has settled in now and comes very strongly in the evenings, so it's more like evening sickness. I check out mentally at 7pm. I feel wiped out and can't stand the smell of anything greasy...or Chloe. I'm craving sour juices too.

Kung Fu

Another wonderful day.

Do you like my chalk maze? The kids had fun being "chompers" as they chased me through it. I took this picture while Ellie took a break. Kate decided to trail it with her trike. You can't tell from this angle, but I drew a little pond the explorers must cross as an obstacle.

Fresh muenster and cheddar cheese slices with sesame water crackers....yum.

The kids enjoyed it very much.

So here's the grown-up version of cheese and crackers. It's sesame water crackers with honey infused cream cheese and chopped walnut spread topped with shreds of green and red lettuce and orange and red baby peppers.

It's so divine!!!

I'm trying to be a healthier, happier, more energetic me.

the weather was so nice today that i actually did my hair and dressed up. of course, the husband doesn't notice...he's too involved in his own drama of feeling worn out from the day. watching him eat at the dinner table with a somber mood is getting to be quite a chore. is it my cooking?

on days like this, i really miss running. i'm actually one of those crazy people who enjoys it, but my ankle's been feeling testy and a bit sprained since i took a long walk with chloe. working out with a game system has been pretty fun except for that my muscles are completely sore and I can barely walk. I'm glad I can shop for groceries online. Tis a treat.

kids are doing well. ellie went to the dentist for another filling and did a great job. kate is kate. she's been a bit moody...more than i'd like. i don't know what she's going through. i want to update her blog but not sure how to go about doing it.

I cut up some apples for my nephew the other day. He takes a slice, takes a tiny lick, then says, "Mmmm! Taste!", then shovels the entire slice into his mouth. Imagine cookie monster with a cookie. This kid is serious.
