Bumpdate

I am in my 36th week of this third pregnancy. After 16 weeks, my nausea and vomiting subsided. It was hard, but I'm in the home stretch now and I'm getting more excited to meet this newest little bud in our family. 

We got our bigger car and the garage is 97% complete. At least we can park both vehicles inside now. Though as any homeowner knows, home projects can be a PITA. Our garage was overdue for a makeover and nothing like a major life change to do that. I owe it all to Mr. Fliz. It was his hard work, effort, and long nights to getting it almost pinterest-worthy. There is still more work to be done. It's neverending!!!

Baby is quite active and I've noticed it has it's patterns. It gets most active after I've eaten or between the hours of 9-11 p.m. and always starts "waking up" around 5:45 a.m. (Hey, little one, if you keep to that schedule post-birth, we're all good ;). Micron has been ever-so-sweet all along this pregnancy. She often talks to my belly and introduces herself. She gives my belly little hugs and kisses and I just hope she'll be that same way once she meets her little sibling. 

Our summer has been quite busy as usual. Right after kids got out of school, we went on a mini-vacation and since then, have been preparing for all things baby. The kids had swim classes in the late afternoon and have been extremely helpful around the house ( since bending down to do laundry is a burden). I stopped doing The Bar Method once 8 months hit. My attendance to classes dropped from 4x/week to twice a week and once I started to get major lower back pain, I knew doing my favorite workout would have to be put on hold. I've been pretty good about being as active as I can during this pregnancy compared to the past two. It's getting more difficult though, I've succumbed to buying a maternity belt in my last month of pregnancy because I just can't deal with being on my feet for hours on end and my lower back paying dearly for it. Walking my dog is my little exercise.  

Amidst all this, our summer has been full of pool time, kids bowling free at our nearby bowling alley, and plenty of family and friend celebrations this summer. Our weekends inevitably become crazier than the weekdays. 

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. It's going by too fast now. Enjoy it while it lasts.
