Guess When the Baby's Coming?

If you read the last post, you know that I have been blessed with my third pregnancy, one that takes me all the way to my 30th birthday.

I got some even better news this week: the baby will be born on March 29th, the day before my birthday, one day before I'm thirty! 

How's that for timing? It's a scheduled c-section due to two emergency c-sections prior to that.

Of course, there's always the chance that the baby could be born before then since my second born came three weeks early. Only time will tell.

In roughly two weeks we'll find out the gender of the baby, something else I've been dying to know. We already have one of each and were going to be surprised, but I don't think I can wait to find out, plus we can sell or donate all of the other gender's stuff we've been storing.

Until then, have a great weekend!

Days 9-10: WW, Interruptions, Cleaning, and Outdoor Fun

April 20th: Day 9

Today I started tracking my food using old style Weight Watchers points. I still have my books from when I joined back in 2009, and last year when I used this tracking I was able to lose 30lbs.

Right now I am able to use 30 points. I could track extra exercise points, but I'm not going to since I tend to go overboard.

I so wanted to complete my EASA workout today, but it wasn't meant to be. Instead, I had to deal with a belligerent trespasser and her dog who was harassing my dog as they walked on the private property next to my fence. Argh! I'm sick to death of people like her and all the other druggies and drunks who trespass back there...

Anyway, here are the stats from EASA:

At least in the afternoon I was able to run outside and play with the kids. It was a gorgeous evening. My youngest brother came over and we played baseball. It felt great that I could run the bases without getting winded!

April 21st

Today I was up early to attend a semi-annual spring cleaning at our church. My job is to climb up and down a step ladder to clean the stained glass windows and anything else that is up high (I'm one of the tallest in a small group of Italians..tee hee). My thighs were killing me from running around yesterday, but hey, that's good, right?

When I got home the kids wanted to play outside for a while, so we did. It was great to be outside and soak up some sun. I love that my lilacs have bloomed; they add such a wonderful fragrance to the air, one that relaxes me....

And now my cranky Teething Tyrannosaurus Rex is awake from her nap. Mommy time is now over.

Have a great weekend!
