30 weeks 5 days

I don't think it's getting any smaller. I'm kind of afraid of how big it's really going to get. This was as big as I got when I had the Pirate Monkey and that date is still 6 weeks away. Oh. My. Gosh.

I love this.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;

succeed anyway.

If you are honest people may cheat you;

be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

do good anyway.



Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the end, it is between you and God;

it was never between you and them anyway.

What I look forward to? Meeting Bebe and being able to take a deep breath :)
Milestones? We're in the homestretch. Only 9 more weeks to go!

how time flies.

I'll blink and this bebe will be here, this much I am certain of. PM had a checkup today, he's huge (we knew this), he's smart (we knew this too). He's incredibly tolerant of getting shots. Nary a tear or tantrum to be seen! It was amazing! Love that little guy. Such a proud Mama. And as I type he's eating bubbles in the bathtub, I don't know why. Still, proud.

kiddo turns 4.

Oh

Wow. It' May. May is a big month for us. I'm now 7 months preggo. PM turns 4. PGY1 joins me at the 29 mark. And let us not forget Mother's day! I need to actually write a post, like an honest to goodness post soon. Or maybe just put a photo up :)

Things I miss.

I don't often miss anything if I'm being honest. Free time to myself usually tops the list though. But lately I miss a lot of things. I miss being able to button my jeans. I miss being able to just skip a meal without turning into the most evil person I know. I miss being able to chase PM when he runs off. I miss being able to really dig in the dirt, I can but it's crazy uncomfortable. I miss ham and swiss sandwiches from P.anera. I miss margaritas (though I only drink maybe one a year). I miss being able to paint my own toes. Sort of. This last week, I find I miss my husband when I don't get to talk to him or hear him at least come home (really) late at night. And he's soooo freaking far away right now. But I hope he's having fun doing his thing. But for all the things I miss, I'm really glad to have the punches and kicks from the baby. They really do make up for it.
