Number Three So Fast?

I have been trying to figure out whether I would consider myself an easygoing person or an intense person (simply because I am annoyingly introspective!). I finally realized today that I am easy going compared to my old days but nonetheless, I am intense. I came to this conclusion when I was thinking about me being pregnant again. When people tell me that they could never have their babies that close I find it odd that I don't feel the same way at all. It makes way more sense to not rush, but I feel I could never not have them super close. In fact I feel like we waited quite awhile to have this one, if I had to wait one more month to get pregnant (Stewart can verify this) I would have been near suicidal. LOL, I was a mess! One year break between babies!?! To me that is huge! :) Looking at the numbers I am going to have three kids two and under. Not for very long mind you, but still having three kids under three is saying something. I have had a baby in 2006, 2007, and now I will have a baby in 2008. A baby a year is a bit much. :O) But really I have never been one to do things in an easygoing manner. When I decide I am going to start working out, I WORKOUT! I do a workout video every morning, run six miles everyday, I like to throw in a walk "for the kids", and sit-ups too if I am board. When I decided I was going to go to college, I went to COLLEGE! I started at BYU and then 3 years later I graduated. I did every term and semester I could...why take a break?!??!?! So I guess when I decided to have babies, I am HAVING BABIES! I make up my mind and then I am full-steam ahead. I am just built that way - I must get it from my dad, that is how I would describe my father. I really am depressed when I don't have something to obsess about, OCDish and true! So that is my explanation to the world about baby number three. I don't really feel I need to have one or even that anyone cares much, but I guess I just wanted to write about it. :O) Basically it just plane makes me happy to go forward so darn fast. I love thinking that when I do toddlers I will do toddlers to the max, and when we do elementary school then we will REALLY be doing elementary school, and WOW! the high school years will be a blur!!! I find that just perfect for me and the tempo I thrive at. I feel grateful that we have been able to get pregnant when we have wanted to, each person gets the spacing they need and I guess we have gotten ours = close!

However, in my defense to those who find rushed people annoying, I often feel the same way!!! I adore my husband because he is not rushed at all. He is the essence of calm. He makes sure that I can still watch TV, eat tons of cookies, not fold the laundry, never scrapbook, bypass workouts, let the dishes pile up, and toilets turn yellow and miraculously I don't stress one bit about it. Thank heavens for wonderful people like Stewart in the world that keep rushed obsessive types like me grounded!

I decided that I am actually going to take pregnancy pictures this time around. It may be more of a chronicle of weight gain then tummy growth :) but I am going to do it anyways. Here I am at 8 weeks.


I think that is pretty big for eight weeks, but I know most people would think that is weak! :O) I am now five weeks further along. I will take a picture this week sometime. I am not sure if my tummy is much bigger but my thighs sure are! That will at least be fun to see! LOL

I am due December 9th. I am now 13 weeks along. The past two weeks I have been feeling pretty good as far as morning sickness goes, I am a bit nervous that I am feeling too good and maybe miscarrying but then I threw-up on Monday. That left me more reassured that our baby is still doing it's thing! You go baby! :)
