Motley Party of 5!

I was looking back on this blog the other day and realized that documenting the process of building a family is so important. Time goes by so fast. In fact...our 2nd is already one and turning into a beautiful toddler. We are also expecting our 3rd in just 12 LONG short weeks. (WHY is the 3rd trimester so hard?!?) Noelle continues to be such a blessing in our life. She is a happy, chunky, cuddly little baby. She is 15 months. She started walking a few weeks ago and it's just so darn cute. She loves hugs, she eats pretty much anything though she prefers her diet more like her dads and thats carbs, meats, and cheese. Eli is starting to play with his little sister more and they get on each others nerves some too. His favorite game is tossing her onto a big floor pillow. It's definitely an accident waiting to happen but they both love it so I guess we'll wait until it does. Eli is 4 and so sweet. We still struggle with somethings about him (anger, roughness, rowdiness) but overall he is turning into a loving, sweet boy. He recently started t-ball and we just signed him up for karate. We've also been trying to get him into a public school for 4k. The general consensus is that he would thrive better in a full day school with more kids and free schooling doesn't sound bad either. I get a little sad thinking about because we love taking random trips in he middle of the year and week and that will put a damper on on that. I also get sad because there's no turning back. Once he is in school he is there for good and he still seems so young. I want to really savor his last year out of school but I know with two little ones it will probably be more stress than enjoyment to have all 3 home with me.
On that note, I guess I'll do a quick recap on my 3rd pregnancy. It started off a little icky but nothing too extreme. I ate a lot and gained a lot of weight fast. The 2nd trimester seemed to take longer to arrive in that it took longer to get rid of my morning sickness and ickyness. Later I felt great and I am just into my 3rd trimester. So far my hip pain and other pains have been more manageable which is surprising since it's the 3rd time around but I'll take it! Hope it last so I can keep working out for a little while.
Well Eli just woke up being all cute so let me go.
