My details are gone... I'll start over!

I'm a mother of three, married to the love of my life. He's in a metal band and is hardly ever home. Makes it rough, sometimes I feel like a single mother. I work full time and thank god every day for my mother, who takes care of the kids for me. Day Care costs would KILL ME!!!

I have two girls (ages 11 and 2) and a boy (6). He is a big momma's boy and always so sweet. The girls... not so much! They are independent and always off doing their own thing. I think the addition of this 4th baby will be the back breaker. 2 is managable, 3 a little tougher... 4??? I may run away!

I'm afraid my youngest daughter will be jealous. She is Daddy's girl and I don't know how she's going to adjust to having a younger sister. I think it would have been easier if this would have been a boy, but I'm sure it will work out fine. It will have to :)

This pregnancy seems to be dragging on forever. I feel like I've been pregnant for a year. Looking forward to the delivery, and meeting the newest addition to our family.

I actually had to have my husband tie my shoes for me yesterday. I was extremely tired and just couldn't bend in half to reach. It was quite embarrassing, but he laughed along with me. I have my 25 week check-up this afternoon. Good excuse to get out of work early! I'm extremely exhausted lately and can't keep up with the kidos. They are too much to handle, the weekends are chaotic. I've been trying to get things around the house organized, I don't mind doing laundry, but I wish someone else would put it all away. Three kids and a husband = ALOT OF LAUNDRY!

25 weeks today. Only 15 more to go (hopefully only 13 or 14). I've had early deliveries with each baby, 3 weeks at the most. I'm hoping I actually deliver the week of January 14th, as long as the baby is healthy. I think we've decided upon a name. Holland Marie, we plan to call her Holly. My husbands Dutch, his father was born just outside of Amsterdam so we thought the name was appropriate. My mother's not a fan, she says "Why don't you just name her Holly". Don't know what that's all about. Not set on the middle name yet, it's a family name (at least one person is your family has the middle name Marie, trust me). We kind of like Renee as well. Good thing we have a few months to decide.

Pretty much all of San Diego is on fire! Luckily no one I know has lost their home, but they have been evacuated. I was evacuated in the 2003 fires and it was a very emotional time. I feel for everyone and what they are going through. It's amazing how quickly things in your life can change. There were 6 women in labor and delivery evacuated from a local hospital, can you imagine? That will be some story for them to tell their child. The air quality is horrible, I was off of work for two days and stayed indoors. Had to go back to work today and it was extremely hard to breathe just walking from the car into the office. You can see the soot and ash in the air. Please keep the people of San Diego in your prayers!

I can't believe how exhausted I have been lately. I haven't wanted to do anything but sit on the couch. I've been trying to keep busy, of course running after the older three. Halloween was fun, lots of walking during Trick-or-Treating. Too bad I've been eating some of the candy. It's getting into the holiday season, which always means lots of treats at work and trying my best to avoid them. I'm going to bring in a bag of apples and oranges for the work fridge, that way when everyone else is snacking on stuff that is sweet I'll have fruit. Probably won't happen... but it's a good thought. Getting ready to put up the crib and get it all ready. It's a little early, but I don't want to have to do it while I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant.

Christmas is approaching, which means New Years is soon to follow and the BABY!!! I can't wait. I'm hoping I'll be a few weeks early, as long as baby is healthy. I've never gone past my due date and I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must be. I 'm at 32 weeks and my bump is already making alot of things uncomfortable. I can't imagine being 42 weeks pregnant. That's insane!!! My two year old is really excited. We got the crib out and she has decided she is going to sleep in it with Baby Holly. We'll see how that one goes. Due to the holidays and my doctors vacation I'm only going to be seen once in December. And then not again until January 8th, then weekly appointments. So basically I'm missing out on the bi-weekly appointments. Baby seems to be healthy, so I shouldn't complain. I just look forward to the appointments and hearing the little heartbeat.

Will it ever end??? I have a doctors appointment today, and anxious to know how the progress is coming. At my last appointment the doctor was sure she was in the correct position, just a waiting game. I'm officially due in 15 days. I've never gone as far as my due date, always a at least a week early. So, I'm planning on between the 20th and the 23rd! Watch... this one will be stubborn and won't get here until February. I guess I should be a little more prepared than what I am, I don't even have my bag packed for the hospital yet. I'm playing Russian Roulette!

OK... so 4 kids isn't so bad! It's actually easier than I thought it was going to be. Holland is the best baby. The only one that actually sleeps ALL NIGHT in her crib all by herself. The others always woke up in the middle of the night and ended up in bed with me and daddy.

We're going to start baby food next week. She'll be almost 5 monhts by then. I tried at 4 months and she was completely uninterested. She loves her high chair though, it's her favorite seat in the house.

The other kids have adjusted well. I was worried about my three year old feeling left out, but she is doing good. A little jealous at times but I always take time to make her feel included and have some time on our own, without the baby.
