.....days we will be in Maui and I just can't wait. I am very much looking forward to being able to relax and rest as a family, it's just so important to us to do it and I am glad we are keeping it up. As well it's officially Fall. Which is my favorite season and more important it's also almost October and September(the month I like the least) is over!!!!!! I am trying to organized our trip and get everything ready so that I am not running around the last mintue like crazy, which is what normally happens.
Noah is feeling a lot better from his booboo I must say and am happy to report. He's just so really active than most his age actually and we really do think that he thinks he is two. Well I know some of you have asked what happen and well Noah was running around the house like normal and went running in to his room for his shoes which I must report after he came out with one I told him to go and get is other shoe which is what he went to do when he just ran to fast and trip over his foot and hit his head on the corner of the bed frame. I was just so relieved he didn't hit his eye. However, as any parent knows any facail wounds bleed like crazy even if they are small. So this is accident number two( first one he bit through his tounge) and hopefully the last for a long time. However I have a feeling that Noah is going to have many booboos growing up. I can see all the sport injury nows, I love that he is so active but some days I wish he would slow down.
Well by the time I get back from our vacation I will be just over 30wks and it's hitting me pretty hard lately. I don't know how I can get any more tired but I am and keeping up with Noah takes most of my energy.

Writings
It's been so long since I have sat and been in the right mind frame where things just flow to me. I can't explain it. I use to write for me all the time, I never showed anyone any of my writing till I wrote one for Tom over 10 yrs ago. It is framed and on our wall, expressing my love I have for him. I have to say nothing has changed and things I wrote has come true and are stronger than ever.
Well here are two that came to me today, I don't know what you call them, they aren't quite poems but just little writing I guess.

Truth
It's quiet now, one of the best times of the day
I sit and think and clear my head if there is time today
I find myself dreaming of things to be
But loving how things are today
Many people dream of the greener grass
While I am pretty happy with what we have
Sure I may want this or that
But would I trade with what I have
I certainly would not
Our family is strong
And Love keeps growing
The honeymoon stage is never really gone
The kisses, the hugs, the precious little touches
Not everyone see them but we have them
There are tears and arguments but there is always love
Agree to disagree that is fine
But never go to bed without showing your love.
Because in the end Love is what holds us strongly together.

My Angel you are
I watch you sleep
curled up so tight
Away in your dreams
You are cuter than ever
and I just want to cuddle
And hold my sweet baby
As tightly as ever
One day you'll grow up
And leave us behind
But I will Remember
That sweet baby of my.

Noah two teeth finally poke a little bit through so we still have some painful times ahead. He finally got is first pair of sneaker since he is running more and more but not big clunky ones just some light weight ones, don't want to slow the boy down haha.
Had our doctors appointment but I wrote about it on the other site, so you can check that out if you want, but things went well. Getting even more tired lately but that is expected during the last 3 months. Still haven't picked any names out and well when we have a name people you'll find out when the baby is here and no sooner, but no we don't have a name. Two weeks behind but I almost have all the stitching done for Noah's Christmas Stocking. Next step is to cut the fabric and so the inside sleeve and than the cording and back on it. Lots to do....
Getting more and more excited for our vacation, it's been over a year since our last family vacation. So it's well needed!!!! Weekend was good fast but good, can't really remember anything to report about it so I guess that says how exciting it was.
Little man woke up early so my time is over.

What....
goes through other peoples minds really does surprise me sometimes, especial when they feel free to let you know. I really try not to let what others think bug me and I am pretty good at it now...though once I wasn't. I am so happy that I am better at it though, I have to say because if not I think over the last few days I would be in a bigger downer than some days I already let myself get. Yes folks I am not always happy and I feel down and when pregnant I can get a little more down than normal. I will always desire to get pregnant even though lets be truthful I do not enjoy it but I love having babies and so I will give up my body for these precious little bundle of joys that I love so much and will probably be crushed when we have our last one(but I will not miss the pregnancy part).
Anyhow lets get back to other people. Why do people feel they have the right to comment on pregnant women I really want to know!!! I bunch of us were talking at my baby boot camp class(exercise class for the parents), about what people say to us.
1. Tell us what we should eat(thankfully I never go this)
2. How big you are
3. You look tired(another meaning you look like poo)
4. How much weight we should gain
5. Than talking behind your back about how they can't believe how big you are
6. My favorite is wow they are going to be close together(if you are having the children close together), you'll have your hands full.
Well this week to my face I got, 1.wow you are really looking wide, 2.your face is really getting round and you still have 3 months to go and my all time favorite that I got this morning at the REI store"when are you do?....wow you are really big...are you sure you're not having twins...you got a long way to go still....." Wow is all I could think and laugh on my way out.
When this stuff happens I laugh and just think people are a riot. I wonder to myself if they..... don't think I notice myself getting bigger, that I don't look in the mirror and see that my belly is sticking way out, that I don't feel tired and I am not well aware that I look like poo but I do try not to look like poo but I don't get the famous pregnancy glow. I can't help how my body looks(how and the size of it goes when you are growing another human being in side you). I work out 3 times a week, I think I eat pretty good(I don't snack but I do have 1/2 cup frozen yogurt almost everyday). I don't get craving, I don't do the I am eating for two bit or eat whatever I want because I am pregnant. I know the junk you eat when pregnant is normally the weight that doesn't come off easy after the baby comes. Oh and being tired well some get more tired than other when pregnant and than add a very active 15 month old in the mix, on top of normal day things that need to be done, one does get tired and yes look like poo. People just truly don't understand until they are there in the exact same position where there are no breaks, no coffee breaks, no sitting down for lunch even for 10 min, and no leaving work(no different atmosphere) or it's been yrs since they were pregnant and for get what's it's like(got to like older people that block out things). But on the other sides you do run into a few people that say you look good or just a simple nice complement. Anyhow I get many good laughs at people I do have to say.
As well I love the advice and the comparison of working and stay at home parent from people that are single or from couples without children but let me tell you"they have no idea what you are talking about"(you can read all the books, take the course but until you are a parent and have the responsibility 24 hours a day, they really have no clue). However, to me there is one thing I could imagine that would be even harder, and that would be a single parent or a working parent(when the spouse doesn't help out) and have to come home and try to do everything, but truly I wouldn't know if it is or not but I would think it would be harder.
Okay so that is enough of me just babbling away how crazy people are towards pregnant women. Well we almost did it, we almost had a date night this Friday, which I was looking forward to since we haven't had an evening or a moment out together just the two of us in 14 months. Our last one was July 2007 to see the Harry Potter movie, but anyhow Tom has some work stuff that came out so it got canceled. I have a feeling our next time alone together will be when all the kids are moved out, which mean 18yrs after we have our last child, maybe it will happen when we both go into a retirement home haha, hopefully not but who knows.
Anyhow sorry for sp, grammer, long run on sentence I am too tired to proof it more and even than I know I miss things.

It's booked
....yup we are taking a small vacation to get me out of this house, and tom away from work. These are the times I love. I place I don't have to clean or cook and someone will do it for me!!!! We bit the bullet and book a trip to Maui again. It won't be a long stay b/c well we need the vacation for when the baby comes but something is better than nothing. Did I mention I won't have to clean!!!!! It won't be like the last vacation we went on, where we are now three and not just the two of us but it will be great all the same. We'll get up have breakfast and head to the beach(which will be different too because both of us can't go in the water at the same time but that is alright) and than back to the hotel for nap time and more relaxing time and time at the gym for a work out!!! We might try and do a snorkeling trip and just take turn going into the water, since that was truly a lot of fun, and we both loved it. Anyhow I am excited anytime that we have a family vacation of just relaxing, is the best....no plans, no times you have to be here or there, we just wake up and decide what to do and if we have plans we only every plan two activities for a trip, that way it's not rushed and exhausting.
Well we didn't do much again this weekend, went for a walk and Noah's having a hard time lately with his teeth and has a bit of a rash but hopefully that will clear up here soon, his little bum is so red and hurts a lot(only happens when teeth are coming in). Well that is if for now I got to get some cleaning done now that the temp in the apartment is more bearable then it has been, and then onto making some fish chowder for dinner. I can't wait for my vacation, finally a little bit of a break for me, before I have to come back and cook up a storm and freeze things so that we have some food in the freezer for when the baby comes. That way Tom and I can just take out a frozen Lasagna and pop it in the stove, makes things a lot easier for sure. Three more months to go and I can't wait, I am truly loving this December, no traveling and no being pregnant, just a quiet(some what), relaxing winter, but I'll still miss you snow(not traveling in it though, just the prettiness of it and it's cold chill that makes you get hot chocolate curl up in front of an open fire place(I'll have one in my house one day) with your family!!!

Double Digits!!!!
Yup that is right so happy but still have a ways to go. We have 99days left of this pregnancy, woo hoo. Some how it looks so much better then 100 or more days. I don't want this little one coming too early but I do want the time to fly by fast and would love to go before my due date. This little one is just as active as Noah was in utero so I have a feeling I am going to have two very active children. I don't mind that much and look forward to putting them in sports if they want to, I think between tom and I though they will probably love to be active in sports.
Looks like our Fall weather left and hello summer all week...ugh, 95+ all week. I have to say we have had a pretty cool summer for most parts but they weeks of heat waves are killing me. I like summer but don't love it. I am a spring and fall person always have been. I looking forward to watching our leaves change... yes folks our tree change color and die too, as well in spring I love watching the blossom bloom on the trees too. But this heat we are getting now is just not what I want at all. I have to say that being pregnant in the summer especially sucks, I think next time if we can I am going to avoid being pregnant in the summer but for us that really easier said than done....but I can dream.
It's getting closer and closer for us to finally get our green cards which will be nice to not have to deal with these visa issues. We would like to have them by December but I think it will be more into the New Year when we get them. Not much else is new here with us our long weekend was quite and we didn't do anything but that is alright, we are trying to save time for christmas and it's just nice to relax. It's hard to believe that August is over I am not sure where it went but I am hoping that September just goes as fast. I love October when its really truly Fall and everything is crisp and fresh, after October I long for December b/c December 1st is when I am allowed to decorate for Christmas and if we aren't getting a really tree than folk yes my tree will be up that first weekend!!!! I wish Noah was old enough to get excited for Christmas, I love watching children excitment it brings me right back to when I was a kid!!!
