My mood while writing this blog: Ookie Dokie

Everything has been going, ehh, okay for me lately. Actually to tell you the truth my back has been killing me. I now blame the fact that I get no sleep due to not being able to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. I tried everything; pillows, a nice cup of warm soothing tea, a glass of warm milk, etc. etc. Nothing works. Well actually one thing does work. I can basically fall asleep when my husband is home (he's been working nights) so that I can lift my right leg and rest on his upper arm. My husband HATES it! Its starting to get warmer out here and he says my big belly and leg heat him up in the middle of the night enough to break him out in sweat. Well to bad I say. I'm having a hard time sleep and with back pains, he can put up with a little extra body heat for 9 weeks.

I have also been experiencing a tremendous amount of pressure on my pelvis. Its actually very uncomfortable to even walk for more than 15 mins. Is anyone else experiencing this? It drives me nuts cause I like to go on walks with my boys.

On a good note my heartburn has basically disappeared. My husband bought me some Tums, but I only took two and haven't needed them since.

I have been debating on when I should start setting up everything for our baby's arrival. I never went into labor early with my previous two boys and doubt I will this time around either. So I have been thinking about holding out until I'm 34 weeks. BUT you never know what can happen and the last thing I want is for my husband to arrange everything. He can never get it the way I like it. He does a good job organizing things and what not but I always go in 2 weeks later and rearrange it all. I still have to wash all the clothes, and put together the bassinet. Oh yeah and I have to go through 15 boxes of my boys clothes reorganize them and pull out any of the things I want to use this time around with the new baby. Like the little Mexican sandals that are tooo cute for words.

The 8th is Ruben Jr.'s 3rd Birthday. Since we live in such a small town and don't really know anyone I think we are going to take him on a little shopping spree and then to McDonalds so he can play in the play area they have. I was also thinking about taking him to the community pool, but I'm being self conscious of my body right now and don't know if that's the best idea. We'll see.

Well that's all that I have to write about right now. I better go jump in the shower before my youngest wakes up and wont let me. I send you all wonderful and beautiful vibes. And may you all have an incredible day, oh and if not close your eyes and think of something that always brings a smile to your face, or a funny joke. Or even call a good friend or someone to let your thoughts out on.

Love Always,

Mrs. Leyva
