Hiccups

This space has been very quiet lately. Notice the camera and I are taking a little break from each other. It has been cold, and while I think about doing crafty things with the kids, it just comes down to me being too tired. I am more tired this time. The crayons lay in their drawer, the play-doh is untouched, and instead there's dancing to Yo-Gabba-Gabba on tv. Bad mama!

But today I did experience something new! P-3 had the hiccups today. It took me a while to figure out what it was. Ry and Kai never had the hiccups when I was pregnant with them (that I could tell anyway) and this is the first time I've ever felt it. What a funny feeling!

So I hear today is Groundhog Day and that we have another 6 weeks of Winter ahead of us. I guess that's ok. I can't chase the kids at the park by myself anyway. But I do feel guilty for not taking pictures. It's so unlike me to keep the camera tucked away. I just haven't felt 'inspired' for anything artsy lately. Mostly just feeling beat up!

Today I am 35 weeks and P3 needs to stay put at least another week before I can have him/her at the birth center. I hope he or she decides to come just a tad early - maybe 38 weeks? I don't know how much longer my body is going to hold out. t-i-r-e-d.

But while I'm all tired and crabby, I will end this post on a positive note... I did the taxes last night. And we're getting enough back to pay toward our credit card debt to put us a whole year ahead to becoming debt free. We can do it. Like the Little Blue Engine That Could, we'll just keep chugging away. But instead of saying "I think I can..." I am chugging along, "I know I can, I know I can, I know I can..."
