Ah, yes . . . the ups and downs of the third trimester!***
The ups:
- In 5 weeks, I will be done work! (God bless St. M.'s for being on a different schedule than regular schools!)
- Daddy finally got to feel Bud kicking last night!
- I am not vomiting every morning! (Only every two mornings!)
- We get to fix up Andrea's big-girl room soon!
The downs:
- I feel huge.
- I need maternity clothes, and there is nothing in my size, so I just look really fat.
- I am starting to swell.
- I sweat constantly.
- I have NO energy.
- Everything is stressing me out--I cried because I have so much marking to do this week!
- I am exhausted (but that's been ongoing).
- I have to pee constantly (again, nothing new there).
This week is particularly rough, because I am getting a bad sinus infection, plus there is a lot of crazy stuff going on in my one classroom (that I am not at liberty to discuss) which I HOPE will be resolved by the end of the week, plus all that marking I was boo-hooing about; and of course the more stressed I get, the more upset my stomach gets, so the more likely I am to vomit . . .
Okay, I know you all wanted to hear about that (sarcasm here), but I just needed to blog off a little steam, okay? Besides, some day Bud's going to say, "Ma, why are you so high-strung?" and I will say, "Read your story, dear . . . it's not just you!" ;))

Hang in there Julie. Those hormones are going on overdrive right now. Just think about the long weekend coming up to get caught up on work, sleep and more sleep!
Take care,
Stephanie

Your sister says JCPenney online has great maternity clothes for girls our size! Trust me, I'm wearing some right now. Bring or send me the money, I'll deposit in my account, I'll order what you want and have it shipped here. I'll bring it when it arrives on one of my trips to get CAit, or you can come get it.
Let me know.
Love, D
Julie,
I know exactly how you feel!! I have people that are just noticing my pregnancy, and say things like "wow, what do you have in there?". Finally, one day I said, "oh I swallowed a beach ball by accident". Duh.
By the end of the day I feel like I could not take you more step (10 hour days don't help!).
We should have a pregnant girls night in with our feet up, bad for us snacks and sappy movies!!!!!!
Take care!!

Oooooooo Donna! Great idea!
I went to the JCPenney site and looked at the virtual catalogue for maternity fashions. Love them! So stylish, and I think reasonably priced too :)
Thanks for helping your little sis :)
Hugs,
Mom
Hey Julie,
I wish I could tell you that things are so much easier this time around, but it isn't. The first kid, you could go to bed at 5 if you wanted and no one cared. But when you already have a kid, it is hard. Hopefully with the long weekend, you will be able to get some rest in. You are almost there and before you know it, bud will be here and it will make it all better. :) Hang in there.
