March Update

This month has flown by yet again. Things are going really well at our house. I am about 23 weeks along now and feel like my belly is getting really big! I have definitely poked out a lot faster with #3. We are still having a hard time coming up with a name...I have lots of ideas, but Nick hasn't liked any of them yet. I can feel the baby move a lot throughout the day - especially at night when I am trying to get to bed. Maya has felt her once and she got so excited! It was amazing to be able to experience that with BOTH of my daughters. I am feeling pretty good other then this crazy pinched sciatic nerve. If I overdo it or if the baby is sitting in a certain spot, the pinched nerve will send a sharp pain from my lower back down to my legs. I have started a prenatal yoga class though and learned how to do a certain stretch which eases the pain. I go to the doctor on Monday and I can't wait to see how the baby is doing!

We are trying to figure out a design for Maya and Josh's shared bedroom, which has been fun. Of course, If we had two girls or two boys sharing a room it would be easier, but they are both so different and we want them to have a space that they can share but have their own likes incorporated. We are trying to find a decent set of bunk beds as well. Once their room is done we can set up the nursery and start to organize the baby clothes, etc. We're hoping to have everything done before the summer hits and we get busy and I get really fat. :)

This past month has been fun. Maya was all pumped up for St. Patrick's Day...(thanks to her class at school) so she had a bunch of expectations for it! So, the leprechaun ended up using our toilet and turning it green and leaving little treats for M and J. They had a fun time with that. Nick also made them some green pancakes and green milk for breakfast.

Such cute ideas... all we did was green pancakes :) but then you can say you have green in your belly all day! Good luck with getting the bedrooms all figured out, I'm sure they'll both look great when you're done! Let me know if you need help moving anything around :)

You are such a great mom! Congrats on the new lil girl... Can't wait to see pics and hear about her when she's born. Good luck thru the rest of the pregnancy.
