Today I'm sick. I still have mornings where I wake up and my stomach is trying it's hardest to expel whatever is in there. Today is one of those days. My feet and legs are puffy, making my toes look like little sausages, and they feel like lead. Really I don't feel like I could walk if I even tried to get off this couch.
As for the little guy, well he's quite active these days. I think he's jealous of his big bro getting to run around and play t-ball because it feels like he's trying to escape. I'm a bit surprised at just how strong he is already. I don't remember any of my other kids being able to hurt me by the time I was 23 weeks along. Of course my belly has never been quite this big at 23 weeks along either, yuck.
Last week I had the extreme pleasure of ridding my house of two full girls clothes bins. If you haven't heard of Other Mother, look it up. I took the two bins that Lily has grown out of there and got store credit. They only take the things that look new or like new, and they give you credit for 47% of what they mark it at. I was pretty excited to find out I get 70 something bucks of free kids clothes from there. They have clothes marked at $1 to $5 depending on brand and quality. The newborn little boy clothes I got look like they came off the rack at the store, Baby Gap, Gymboree, ect. And Ethan scored a pair of pants and a shirt that don't look like they have ever been worn. Yea for free stuff!
As if the fact that my stomach is being testy today isn't enough, the black Hawk helicopter that is at Ethan's school today sounded like it was trying to rip my roof off at like 8 am this morning. I thought Lily was going to have a heart attack. Ethan's school is directly behind my house and today is the second to last day of school so they're doing a fun day outside. Their fun day includes getting to tour the inside of the helicopter. Yippee. Okay, Ethan is excited even if it sound horribly boring to me.
And that's pretty much everything I want to share for now. I think I've got pictures from our last two fun filled weekends, but that would require me getting up to get the camera. Sooo lazy this morning.

I'm so glad that you're having a little boy! I also hope you've had better days, recently.
You deserve to laze around! Hope you get to feeling better. I will have to visit that store, sounds awesome! I have been doing my shopping on e-bay. I got some really cute, cheap cloths too. I wish we had one of those stores in Pocatello, then I wouldn't have to pay shipping, even though it is still cheap, who doesn't love cheaper or free! Take Care.
Hi Cheri! Grandma is doing pretty well. Send me your e-mail address and I will send you more information.
I took the comment off with you email, just in case.
