I am now 29 weeks pregnant and have 11 weeks to go!!! The doctor did say he'll induce me one week early so in my mind I only have 10 more weeks:) I don't want to say that I will be excited to be done with this pregnancy, but I will be excited to be done with the aches and pains of this pregnancy. I know that it is such a huge blessing to be pregnant, especially the feeling of the baby moving inside of me. But honestly, I have to admit that I want my hips and lower back to stop hurting. I want some energy back...even a little energy would be better then the exhaustion I feel in my life. I don't know why this pregnancy is so much more exhausting than the other two. I mean, this pregnancy is almost exactly like the pregnancy I had with Lucas. The only difference is I didn't have two boys to chase around like I do now. I really don't want to be negative or complain because I know I have easy pregnancies compared to many many women. So I'm not really complaining. Just saying that I will be glad when I am no longer uncomfortable. I also will be happy when I don't have to wake-up 5 times in the night to go pee. Oh, the little blessings in life:)
I do know that newborns are incredible exhausting. So it's not like when I have this baby I will all of a sudden get 8 hours of sleep at night and my body won't be uncomfortable. But the way I look at the first year of life is like a count down in weeks and months. Of course enjoying all of it, but knowing that sleep and energy is bound to come back with time.
On the bright side of being pregnant I can eat whatever I want and have no guilt:) And not exercise and have no guilt:) Also, it is amazing to feel life inside of me moving around and wondering what this little guy will look like and what his personality will be compared to the other two. It is fun watching the boys play together and knowing that there will be one more tagging along with his older brothers. And these are the thoughts that make all the uncomfortable days and nights and the lack of sleep seem worth it.

You're such a cute pregnant girl:) You're in the home stretch now:) Good Luck little lady:)
(Oh and I meant to comment on the "minivan" issue, we love ours as well, it's not "loaded" but I love it:)
Deanna you are such a cute pregnant lady. I know at times that comment doesn't seem to ease how huge you feel. How exciting to have 3 boys! I know what my 2 girls get into so I am sure the 2 boys run you ragged. Some how we manage to get through the days.
Good luck with the remaining 10 or 11 weeks.
Love, Liz
LA traffic is something else. Sorry we missed you guys the other week. We're excited to see you on Thanksgiving. We'll have to come down sometime as well and go to La Brea tar pits. I hope things are better at your ward :).
You look dang cute with a belly dweller!
