This pregnancy I have experienced a lot more than I experienced with my other two. It started out with morning sickness (ok all day sickness), continued with exhaustion and depression and now we are dealing with a tired achy body (but not exhaustion).
My 3rd trimester brought insight and energy (thanks to nesting) and I realized that the reason I was so depressed was because I wasn't doing things for me, I spent all my time, cleaning, babysitting and taking care of my kids (which is a great thing) but all women need them time, we need to have our own identity besides being mommy... (though it is the best name in the world)
So beginning the 3rd trimester, I started doing things for me.... or at least things I LOVE to do. I started on little princesses costume.... which is almost done,,,, I have been sewing other things, I have been planning, creating, reading and doing things for myself. Of course when I get my projects done I will post them on here. But there is lots of baby things, a few costumes, and some other things.
I also realized I getting depressed cause I was doing nothing for this baby girl. It's my 3rd so no baby shower, no getting presents for her, and honestly I haven't felt like anyone else is happy or excited for me this pregnancy. There are a few that have told me they can't wait. But honestly the reaction I got from some people was that they seemed less then thrilled. Even when I was always happy about their events in their lives. So I changed my attitude. I was done caring about how others were reacting and I started washing and getting things ready for this little girl. No one but Buzz, Myself and the kids need to be excited for our new little family member.
I am excited to see all the things we have planned come together! I am excited to work on projects and sew for all my kids. I am excited to meet this little girl in a few months and I am excited to be happy again, to find myself again and of course still be a mom!
I promise to update soon!
Love,

Goal Update!
Wow it's been a super long time since I last updated this blog and my goals....... life has gotten busy and crazy and I wasn't spending a lot of time working on things for myself.... I was focusing all my time on my house and my family and it wasn't a good thing for me.
So how am I doing on my goals? Not as good as I would hope!
Debts: Well, we are still making payments on our debts, but I doubt we are going to have the next one paid off before this little girl gets here. We are making more than double the minimum payment on our smallest debt which is good, but we are saving a lot of our money for hospital bills for this little girl so we don't have to go into debt to have her.
Cleaning: It was bad for a while. I had not energy and was in a huge depression state not wanting to anything. So my house kind of took a big brunt of the depression and was never really cleaned. But then the 3rd trimester hit.... I started remembering my identity and the depression went away and I started "nesting" the house isn't perfect but its cleaner and I still have yet to create a schedule, but my house is staying cleaner!
Spice up the married life.... this is one thing that pregnancy has taken a toll on. David and I get our us time each night and I love spending time with him. We rarely go on dates.... but we enjoy our evenings together. I know once baby gets here the first few months will still be rough but we still have time to work on this.
Write in my Journal..... I have majorly slacked on this one. I was doing great till we went to Colorado and then because of the craziness of that trip I dropped off the map and haven't been able to get back on board. I guess I need to get back on track with this one. I can do this!
Yup we have 5 months to get on top of this! I can do it!
