Blog Slacker

I have been the worst blogger ever so I have just decided that I will journal a little entry. Keep in mind this is mostly for me to just speak my mind. Afterall, it is my blog. I will hopefully be posting some pictures of the kids soon and what we have been up to. But for now, at 3:00 am, I am just going to write. I know I have had this conversation with some of you, but have felt the need to just vent all the time about my hectic life. This fourth pregnancy has really thrown me. Really I used to run on zero sleep for days at a time, chase my kids around lagoon after working a 14 hour night shift, while pregnant, and feel just fine. This pregnancy however, I feel I can barely get my fat but out of bed. Now I know the word fat may not be the right word, but I am as big now as when I delivered a nearly 8 lb baby. What the heck. I am just packing on the pounds. And my doctor told me that my stomach muscles have just completely given up. I think that is what happens when you have babies and are only 5 feet tall. So I will just add that to my "list of post baby plastic surgery must haves". They actually have to wire the muscles back together--gross. So I am left to believe that this is just meant to be a year of learning. Apparently I am a slow learner because I didn't learn the lesson after I had surgery in August, or when my lung collapsed in February. So third times the charm--this rough pregnancy serves a purpose to teach me something I need to learn. At least that is how I try to think of it, but for the most part I just sulk about my bad luck this past year and all the weird things that have happened to me. It's not like I caught the flu or something normal. I mean the odds of one of these things happening is so slim, but to have both of these bazaar mishaps is just stupid. On a happy note, I am so glad that I switched doctors. I just love my new doc and he and I had a pretty good laugh about my bad luck, which made me feel so much better. As for life, it is busy. Trever has started his own catering business, which will take up his weekends this month. Bryce is starting football. And I am trying to get school shopping done between my shifts at work. Oh, and trying to prepare myself for baby number 4. The kids are so excited. We have been talking about names and looking at 3D images online of what the baby looks like.
