FRIDAY AGAIN!

If you've forgotten why I enjoy Fridays right now it's because Josh comes home on the weekends from his TDY (military lingo for Temporary Duty Assignment). I miss my man... all the time. I feel lucky he comes home, though. I know people out there who aren't so lucky. He's so good to me :) What other man would listen to his pregnant wife complain about her tiramisu craving and actually MAKE SOME! Yes, from scratch... I was shocked we had the ingredients in the house. It was a great addition to the baked Italian chicken and pasta he also made. He loves me :) I love him... sigh. SORRY I am all emotional today (like every Friday). Look at him! Daaaang.

Happy 29 weeks pregnant to me. I picked up my finger-pricking sugar test machine yesterday and I am a lot less stressed now. It doesn't hurt at all, but the anticipation the first few times is sure fun! I've checked my glucose several times and it really takes a LOT for me to build it up to a high level. That drink they give in the lab must be pure sugar or something. I purposely ate a bunch of sugar this morning. I had blueberry waffles with butter and syrup, coffee (w/ cream and a TBSP of sugar), only waited one hour to test and I had hit 159. Yes, high... but rightly so and not really that high! So I am not worried anymore. I think next time I go back, sugar log in hand, she'll finally be satisfied and I won't be watched like a hawk anymore. I hate feeling vulnerable and weak. Aging is not going to be a pleasant process for me haha.

All my boys are fabulous. By Friday I've had enough, though. I don't care how much you love your kids, they get on every parent's last nerve eventually. Noah drives me crazy with his constant talking and touching and hugging. You'd think it would be cool to hear "I lub you" 300 times an hour followed by a sticky-fingered hug, but it gets really old. I am not exaggerating... 300 times an hour!!! He always has to find a way to touch me. He'll sit on me or near me and just keep touching me... AHHHH!!!! Here he comes now.
"Mommy do you like me?"
"yes"
"And do you lub me too?"
"of course I do"
((hug)) ... sigh... yes he's precious :P He's my big helper and a great big brother. I love my Noah Boah!

Tristan drives me crazy with his crying and whining and following. He follows me around the house and cries if I happen to stand up and walk. If I take some trash to the curb he screams at the door while Bosley howls and scratches beside him... a whole minute of agony for them. If he's hungry it's about a million times worse. This child gets my apron out and throws it at me... he brings me spoons and pulls my pant legs into the kitchen. The entire time I cook he runs in and out of the kitchen crying because it's not done yet. He brings me empty bowls, begging for some kind of snack to put in them. I cook and yell... "OUT! IT'S NOT DONE YET! I WILL TELL YOU WHEN IT'S DONE"!! It's a lot easier when Josh is here because then I at least get to cook dinner in peace while he keeps them busy. If I say "shoes" or "van" he cries until we are out the door. He lacks patience (maybe because he's a baby? haha). Tristan is considerate enough to take a 3hr nap, however ;) I love the crap out of Tristan. He's the cutest thing on the planet, even when he's driving me nuts. He's becoming more independent lately and is starting to be a big helper like Noah. Just in time!

#3 drives me crazy with the elbows and knees to the belly button all the time. I have some really wicked sciatica going on so my long walks are now short walks and no more hiking :( I sleep with the phones near my bed because I swear one of these days it's going to hurt too bad to get up and I'll have to call my neighbor for help or something. They recommend no sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming because it only makes the pain worse... DUH! Who else is gonna do it though. In the morning I walk around like a 90 yr old woman. Thankfully it subsides fairly quickly so I can continue my day. I'd take Tylenol, but... it's Tylenol... seriously... what's the point. I've gotten rid of the leg cramps by drinking tons of water. This also reduced my Braxton Hicks contractions I noticed. If heartburn = hair he's going to be part monkey. This weekend Josh and I are going to finally pick a name (hopefully). It'll be raining all weekend so what else would we do. I already love this little boy. Can't wait to meet him!

I love my little monsters... all is as it should be :) OH! and I have been taking lots of photos, but can't get the good quality ones open to edit yet. These lower quality ones are OK for now! I LOVE my new camera :D

Hang in there it won't be too long and you'll feel much better. Dylan does the same thing to me. He asks Do you like me? Do you love me? It has always made me wonder why on earth does he continue to ask me these questions but knowing that Noah does it too makes me laugh.

You need a mommy day, complete with prenatal massage. Wish I could provide it for you. Just a few more weeks...Btw, #3 is a cute name. You could call him tres. or tri?

I'm on the same page. Everyone in my house is driving me insane. I love my boys dearly, but good LORD!
They are both very touchy feely and I don't want any touching or feeling right now.
And walking like a 90 year old is an all day thing for me now. We're almost there....we're almost there.....we're almost there.....

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
