I know I say this too often....it's been forever since my last post! I have taken a blogging hiatus during this pregnancy. For several reasons.
First, I have just basically gone through 6 and a half months of feeling like crap. There were a few glorious weeks thrown in there where I felt great, and then the third trimester entered like a beast. I almost wish I didn't have those weeks of bliss because it made the next stage even harder. I didn't gently ease into the third, but the brutality came on full force. I know I sound like I'm whining and complaining (and hey, maybe I am a little bit), but I'm telling it how it is, and really, I'm thrilled beyond measure to add to our little family. It's been four years since I was last pregnant so in some ways the newness and excitement of first-time pregnancy is there. Jess feels it as well, and is always interested to feel our little boy move (and boy does he! I'm interested to see if this is a foreshadow of his true colors.) My belly is definitely out there now and sitting anywhere, especially in our hard computer chair, for more than a few minutes gets just a bit uncomfortable (honestly, who really needs to breath anyway?!), and if the booty and back discomfort doesn't move me than the raging heart burn sure will, which inevitably comes when I'm sitting, smooshing my midsection. However, if I do force myself to just sit and bear it for awhile and then try to stand, or much less, move at all, I become worthy of the nickname "Wadly" (deemed by my sweet sweetheart) for the rest of the day.
Second, I'm just not always sure what direction I want my blog to go. Sometimes I'm not even sure I blog for the right reasons.
Third, catching up is overwhelming. I don't know where to start, so I don't start at all.
But today, I'm starting right here. Wherever here is, I'm not entirely sure. I know I want to go back and do some catch up, but also move forward. I still have all kinds of different directions floating around my head that I want to take, but my point is...I'm starting again.
Right here.

Right here is the best place to start! I blog because it is the only kind of journal I can keep. I blog about things we do as a family that I want to remember. I also just blog funny things my kids do on any given day. I blog to remember the samll but important memories in our lives before they are forgotten. I love reading what is going on with other people...just because. Our blog is thesillykookamongas.blogspot.com if you want to check ours out.
I love that you used smooshing to describe it. It is such a perfect word for how everything feels during the 3rd trimester!
Yay for blogging more. I love to hear from you and am glad I can keep up on how things are going for you through your blog. :)
I hear you on the prego! It is so difficult, really. I remember one pregnancy I had six weeks left and all I could think was, "I can't do this. I can't do it. I can not do this for 6 more weeks!" And I was serious :) Good thing I didn't have a bail out option :) It was so fun to see you at my mom's. If your kids EVER want to come play, send me text. We are usually here and my girls don't have many girlfriends around :)

You just do what you can. I'm sorry you've been so sick. Hopefully the next couple months will ease up a bit and your little guy will be here in no time at all.
