(Sing this to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree") I'm weird, I know....
On, Christmas eve, on Christmas eve, we're going to have a baby
On, Christmas eve, on Christmas eve, we'll maybe have a baby.
Carter was three weeks too soon
With Bryce weeks late, I was a big balloon.
On Christmas eve, on Christmas eve, we'll maybe have a baby!
Yes, we are expecting our third little one sometime within the 5 week span around the due date which is Christmas eve. Who knows what to expect will the difference in arrivals between my first two boys. We are very excited (and a little scared) for this special spirit to be born to us.
As always, pregnancy isn't the easiest thing for me (or any woman for that matter)and nausea and exhaustion have been my constant companions. The past few days however, I didn't throw up once, which hopefully means now that I'm about 16 weeks, I'll be feeling better and better.
I'm already starting to "show" kind of but not really. It's that belly that kind of hangs out, bigger than normal, and feeling too sick and tired to care, let it. But, none of my clothes fit which is a big bummer and I'm not quite ready for maternity clothes. I guess I'll just have to wear my "does this baby make me look fat?" shirt more. I wore it to my pilates classes when I taught last week. I'm sure they were wondering what the heck was up with the woman who talks about "core strength" and the "abdominal scoop or lift" with her belly hanging out. :)
The boys know I'm having a baby and I've told them I feel sick. When I am feeling sick I tend to burp instead of throw up sometimes- gross I know! And with all my parenting about how burping is rude, I tell them, it's because I'm feeling sick growing a baby that I burp more). Bryce however thinks this is hilarious and says, "Baby! Stop burping mommy!" and cracks up laughing each time.
Carter says then, "Oh, Bryce, don't laugh and mommy, she is not feeling good" in a sweet voice.
I have the best kids ever. :)

Is that geeky if I actually sate here singing that song?? Loved it. And I love that you'll have a Christmas time baby. I loved having Elli and really thinking about the Savior being born at that time. It was really memorable for me. So I'm glad you'll go through that as well.
Can I see your belly lump?? ;o)
Well I'm with ashley. I sang the song too. It was funny! Your boys say the cutest things. We're so excited for baby #3 for you both. We're hoping you have a girl but we'll also take another cute Darrington boy.
Cute song! So creative and fun. I am sure glad that you are feeling better! Also a bit happy that I am not sick with you this time around. We can't wait to see when this little one will come. We are also anxious to see if it is a boy or girl. Either way we are soooo excited for you! Baby #3 is tons of fun! Keep us posted and good luck!
Nice song honey. You always had a knack for rhyming. I'm excited for our little one to get here. You're doing an awesome job carrying #3, I know it hasn't been easy for you. I love and appreciate your sacrifices for our family.
