30 weeks!

The third trimester (so far) is most popular for tears and ridiculous emotional spells. I am definitely getting large and in charge. My belly button is beginning to turn inside out and I can't pop my back anymore. Hank is still very active and gets the hiccups quite often. His movements take my breath away. Will is going to finish touching up the paint in his room today and we will hopefully have all the furniture by the end of this month. Maw-Maw is buying the crib, Janet is buying his dresser/changing table, and Mrs. Palmer (Paw-Paw) and Grams are buying the travel system. I don't know what we would do without the amazing love and support of our families. What a blessing that we have so many people that are eager to take care of Hank already! Only 10 weeks to go, give or take. Here are a few things that I've cried about lately... so I can have some laughs when I look back at this.

1. When the neighbor came to take her dog (now our dog) back to her house. Picture and explanation below.

Meet Dollie. Dollie was the neighbor's dog that her grandparents bought in Huntsville. Dollie is a 4 month old Chug. (Pug/Chihuahua mix) She was abused in Huntsville and it took me a week or so to gain her trust. Dollie's favorite things are Odie, Janie, following my heels, meal time, chewing turtle shells, and sleeping in Odie's basket. Will let me keep her on account that she will be an outside dog. She is soooo sweet and has the cutest (Will says ugliest) under bite. When Dollie first came to Wellington  she wouldn't let anyone touch her let alone catch her. So when the neighbor came to get her she would just shake and pee and be so scared. I was so embarrassed that I was crying about it I had to go inside while they were trapping her. That's when I knew that Dollie had to be mine. You see, I love the unwanted, the unlovable, the broken ones, the ugly ones, the old, the smelly, the babies. We were meant to be. Now seriously, 3 dogs?? We have lost our minds!!

Back to the silly things I've been crying about:

2. I cried in the bed the other night because I know that things between us (Will and me) are about to change. Right now it's all about him and he's all about me. I love Hank but I was crying because I know our relationship is about to change and I just love my husband so much and that thought... well, it made me cry, in the bed, with Will sound asleep. Wow.

3. A few weeks ago when my iron was low I was very tired for about 4 days. On the fourth day I had a melt down. Will has been SO sweet and understanding. I have been apologizing for crying like a crazy person and he just says, "you're not crazy" and holds me. I broke down because I was tired. Wow.

4. Last night I cried because I didn't want to clean the kitchen, cook, and then clean the kitchen again. My back was hurting all day because I can't pop it anymore and all I wanted to do was soak in the tub and have a mocktail. Wow. Seriously, I have got to get a grip... I can't be having all of this rub off on Hank. 

None of these things are real reasons to cry. Even when I'm crying I realize how ridiculous I'm being... YET I STILL cry! I just had to record this side of pregnancy so, like I said, I can look back and laugh. Heck, I'll be laughing about this at lunch. Thank you, Lord, for a great husband who is sticking by me through the tears and for a sweet baby that I get to hold in 2.5 months.
