Only 12 more weeks or less!

Yup, that's right, this baby will be done cooking in about 12 weeks. Hopefully 11.

I've always delivered at 39 weeks.

And the 3rd trimester exhaustion has kicked in like clock work.

And I've had my first I-have-to-pee-and-squeezing-with-all-I've-got-down-there-just-didn't-work-and-I-peed-my-pants tonight. UGH, what a way to start out these last few months.

I really hope I don't have anymore accidents.

Really, there is nothing more then I hate then having to go potty while pregnant.

I have a like a million layers to pull up and pull down and sometimes it's coming out as I'm sitting down.

 Oh, and the swelling has started. Doesn't matter how much water I drink (which hasn't been much these last few weeks. Coke has helped me a lot...the drink people) so my feet and hands start to swell after the kids go to bed.

And I feel like I can't get enough to eat. I had a huge pile of Hawaiian Haystacks tonight at the RS activity tonight, and two slices of chocolate cake, and not even an hour later and I'm starving.

I might have polished off the last row of oreos after I got home.

And I'm still hungry.

Man, I feel like the very hungry caterpillar.

Just glad I don't grow wings at the end of this!

Ok, enough about me.

The kids are doing much better this week.

They have really stepped up the helping and cleaning up after themselves.

Maybe they can sense that this is the last week of Daddy being gone.

I know, at least, Jake gets it. We talked about it.

Not sure if the other three get it.

We are all ready for Daddy to come home every night!

I think I'm gonna make him put the kids to bed every night for 2 months straight!

I can't believe that next week is spring break. This is Jake's first spring break.

He keeps asking to go to the zoo.

And just like good ol' PNW fashion, it'll be raining all week.

I don't feel like going to the zoo, in the rain. Not as much fun.

And Zoe is starting to surprise me with what she is learning.

I have learned I can't push her on things.

I can't sit down and have a formal learning time or just try and sing the ABC's or counting when she doesn't want to.

I have to wait for the right moment.

Which are far and few between.

But, lately, she's been having more....

and retaining more!

Yay! Hopefully she won't be so far behind when she starts kinder next year!

And Leo...what can I say.

I love this little guy.

Although, not loving the three year old fighting and refusing to do anything.

But, he is talking so well now! Like really well!

Better then Jake did when he was three.

And, he's using his imgination like crazy! 

I love it!

I love hearing my kids pretend play with each other!!

Teage.
Life wouldn't be as great without a Teage around.

Really, when I need some love, I just call Teage over and he cuddles with me.

Whenever I want!

Jealous?

You should be!

And he's talking really well too.

In the last month, he is learning and saying new words I didn't know he knew!

This little dude is amazing!

Ok, your reward for making it all the way to the end.

 Some cute Dr. Seuss fluff bums!

And some cuddles with Leo!

He fell asleep on me the other day, and as I was taking a picture to send to Steve, Leo woke up.

But it's still cute.

And yes, that is a 2 Liter of coke you see.

I told you so!
