snowball fights

Yup, he is aiming at me. Can you believe it? Someone needs to remind this man that throwing snowballs at his wife and unborn child is reason enough to be drop kicked. So I ditched the camera and had a good ol fashion snow ball fight. And I do believe I won. Tristen joined the dark side and also attacked me but my baby Tanner was on my side. Or he was more interested in eating the snow. and yes, we kept him away from anything yellow.

Things have been hectic, but who isnt busy lately?! I dont know many people that can say they are bored anymore. Everyone is always going at full speed and there seems to never be enough time for everything I try to do. I should say "want" to do.

I remember when I was younger, my Mom NEVER called in sick. FOR REAL. I dont ever remember her calling in sick. She is so dedicated, sometimes to the extreme. But anyway if she was getting a cold she used to say- I dont have time to be sick- and I remember thinking, Huh?! no one wants to make time to be sick but you just have to do it so you can get better. Well now again, I get what she was saying! I had the worst flu/whatever last week for 4 days- knocked me on my ass and all I could think was OMG I do not have time for this crap, work is crazy- I cant get the kids sick - I have too much to do to be SICK. And again I realize, I am SO my Mothers Daughter.

But I did slow down and I was reminded by people that care (including my mom) (how ironic) that you have to s~l~o~w down and take care of yourself. So, I slept more than I had since I was a teenager, I ate chicken soup, used 2 boxes of Kleenex and my family took great care of me!

special thanks to Aunt Joyce for keepin me company at the hospital :) she's so nice to me! and to my mom and Chuck for watching the monster all weekend while I was getting hydrated with a stiff IV bag.

Here is the belly at 21 weeks. And let me just add what BS it is that just because I have 2 other kids I look 8 months pregnant and I still have to wait till July. What do you mean you pop out faster after your first kid?! I dont think I was this big with Tanner at 21 weeks. bunch of crap. I'm gonna be huge.

sidenote- I LOST weight when I was sick. But obviously that baby didnt! That was a bit nerve racking. But everything is all good.

ohh, lots of movement too! it's so cool to feel a baby getting cozy in your belly. strange but cool. Thomas thinks it's alienish.

maybe I should peg him with another snowball.
