More March....


Lately besides my break down and Cash coughing life has been so very fun. Belle, Cash, and I have had some good times together! These two are such sweethearts! They can't do anything without the other. They love to play pretend. There game lately is Belle is a waitress and Cash is the cook. I am enjoying them so much. We had some beautiful days last week where I feel like we were outside all day besides their naps! I don't even know why we wore coats! They finally have gotten to play with their friends and run like crazy. I am craving Summer so bad. So many good things come from summer. The warmth, parks, BBQ's, swimming, endless days in the sun, berries, farmers markets, and Paige!!! I am getting so excited for her arrival. I am 24 weeks and I basically have 4 more months. I am defiantly feeling like this needs to come to an end! I am having a really hard time with swelling this time around... YES THAT PICTURE IS MY LEG ...AND YES IT'S MY CALF... with Monkeys hand print. At least I shaved!! I look at my legs and my purple toes and just laugh... holy swelling... A nurse asked if I feel like I have elephantiasis? I laughed and said it sure looks like it. Luckily Monkey doesn't care. It's interesting because also this time around my veins are popping out like crazy. Some people say it's spider veins or varicose veins. But mine come and go...They really show up at the end of the day... so I have no idea what going on. I have them clear up my chest to the back of my shoulders and completely down my legs starting at my hips to my toes! ... It is so WIGGY looking! I freaked when I first saw it but now I know it's normal... Hahah! 4 more months of looking like spider web elephantiasis lady! Haha and we will hopefully get things back to normal! So for now haaray for future sunny days!
10 POINTS IF YOU CAN FIND BELLE!!!!! Her new spot I found her sleeping!!!

Is that Belle in the little green, polka-dot pants?
Those pictures of Belle and Cash hugging on each other (so cute) remind me of some similar pictures of Logan & Taylor. I'll have to show you them sometime.
Hang in there! Try to take some time to sit back and put your feet up!

hey mamie! congrats on baby no.3 :) so exciting... so as i was reading this post about your veins, it reminded me of my friend who has the same thing happen to her when she is pregnant, but she said her's hurt. but what she did to help with it is wear panty hose, something about the pressure helps with all the extra blood flow we have when we are pregnant. anyway... i dont know if any of this makes sense but thought you might want to try it if your veins start to hurt. love reading your blog & seeing all the photos of your two littles.
