I am loving having "big kids" during this pregnancy.  They are SO excited about their baby brother.  Every week they look forward to seeing how he's grown and what fruit/veggie he's the same size as now (babycenter.com).  It's so fun!  And Caedon is at the point where he moves so much and with such big movements that they're able to feel him easily.  Earlier in the pregnancy they could feel him but they weren't patient enough to wait for a big enough movement.  But now they'll just walk up and put their hands on my stomach and say, "I'm going to feel Caedon."  If I tell Kyler that Caedon's not moving right now he'll say, "Well, go lay down and be still!" because he knows that makes Caedon more wiggly.  :)  And the beautiful expressions on their faces when they feel him!  Their eyes light up and they get the biggest grins - I just love it!

I'm getting anxious to see him and hold him.  I know now why those women who have so many kids just keep having kids.  I looooove being pregnant and don't want to rush it....but I want to hold my baby and look in his sweet little face!  And then I'll want to be pregnant again.... :)

I am getting into the nesting stage of the pregnancy - organizing and cleaning... and exhausting myself!  I'm also wishing my baby shower was going to be sooner so I could get all of Caedon's stuff organized....  I can be patient, though, right?

Only 11 weeks to go! (For the baby...not the baby shower...in case you were confused. :))

My least favorite part of being pregnant

It's not being uncomfortable, having to pee alot, back pain, etc.  I expect those and they're just a natural part of carrying another human being inside your body.  But I get so sick of people's ridiculous comments.  I'm not saying I don't like to talk about my pregnancy.  I'll stand around and talk about it and answer your questions all day if you want.  Especially if you want to talk about natural/homebirth. :) However, one lady already told me, when I was only 24 weeks, that I looked like I'd already "dropped."  Really?  At 24 weeks?  No, I just carry low.  Thanks, though, for your comments about my body.  And yesterday at church I had this conversation that just baffled me.

This lady asked me if I was ready to have the baby.  I just looked at her and said, "No.  He's not due until the end of August.  It would be a REALLY bad thing if he came now."  (Besides the fact that I love being pregnant, this is the last time I plan to do it and I intend to enjoy every little wiggle even when it's 100 degrees outside.  :))

She asks how many weeks I am and I said, "I'm only 28 weeks."  She, through this entire conversation, is eyeing my stomach skeptically like she expects Caedon to explode out of there at any moment.  Again, really?  I don't think I'm THAT big.  I have, in my opinion, a pretty typical 6-months-along-with-my-third-baby pregnant belly.
