I...oh, I'm still alive...

Hey peeps! I am feeling uber lazy today but thought I would post. Still in jammies, Jack is parked in front of the TV..I can't wait for naptime. I think it's time for some self-imposed bedrest. ;) Wouldn't that be GREAT? A month to do nothing but lay in bed and read before I never get another moments' rest with a newborn, a 4 year old monkey and a dog? Sounds like heaven to me! Of course, I am lucky to have Scott who does so much on the weekends. I think I tend to take the weekends "off" and he really does everything. Poor kid needs a vacation. He might be going out of town soon, that'll be good for him!
So we're dogsitting. Quelle aventure! Scott's brother and his wife (the basketball player) are in Maryland at the NCAA tournament. They won their game yesterday (I was texting Jeff during Sunday School and Sacrament meeting as he gave me updates on the game. I felt so guilty--but not guilty enough to stop! I should have just stayed home from church and watched the game for all I got out of it!) They beat Villanova by 30 points (!) and play Maryland tomorrow. It'll be televised on ESPN2 at 5PM. She's number 23--root for her! We're so excited for her to be able to have this great experience her last year of school. It sucks that her body is trashed, but this is what she loves and so we love it too. Of course, having an extra dog has been an adventure. She's a sweet dog, and MUCH more calm than Ginger, but not as obedient. (Which isn't saying much, I guess! ha ha.) Ginger comes when she's called, doesn't bark and doesn't get into the garbage!! (Nor does she pee in her kennel and then crawl all over the furniture. THAT was quite the experience in self-restraint!) Ginger loves having a friend, though. Speaking of Ginger, we put her in obedience training and went to our first class on Friday. Uh, that was interesting. She was way distracted by the other dogs and I think I'm partly to blame as well since I'm not very patient. It's really hard!! Plus it's hard to work with her with Sadie (the other dog) around. We'll see how it goes.
The pregnancy is going well. Man, this time around has been so much harder than it was with Jack! I worry because I feel so weak and tired all the time. I guess part of it is just where I am in my pregnancy but at the same time, I worry that I'll have a hard time delivering because my body is so weak and out of shape. I mean, I joke about self-imposed bedrest, but I really would be happy to stay in bed all day and not have to get up! I feel like such a wuss. I was perfectly active still with Jack, even 10 days after my due date! I don't know. It's no fun. I don't want to complain--I feel like I do that too often about other stuff--but I am definately worried that I'll have a hard time and it was hard enough as it was!! All I know is that Mama needs to join a gym after Miss Lizzy comes!
Okay, I need to get Jack some lunch and, oh, I don't know--run the dishwasher or something. (Are you intimidated by my ambition?)

just know that you will keep being tired for a LONG TIME. i am still tired all the time, and isabelle is almost two now. two kids is a lot harder than one kid. don't be too hard on yourself. so, lizzy is her name or is that just what you call her now?

I remember those days. I felt like that with both pregnancies, which is just one reason why I won't be going that route again. Hang in there. You're almost done!
