So...maybe a bit of a slower pace of life is necessary right now. Tightness, crampiness and Braxton Hicks have begun. And I'm only almost 27 weeks. Sigh. Could be a long rest of the pregnancy. Wondering if this means I won't have to try too hard to have this kid early, but also expecting him/her to come late. Because you have to expect that or else you're in trouble when it does come late!!

And on the flip side, anyone want a daughter for a few days? I know Ayda's constant antics are cute and funny when I write about them, but they sure are exhausting for me. She constantly needs stimulation and I just can't provide enough to meet her demands at this point. So she creates her own. At least with Jared, if I need to take a nap in the afternoon, I can pop in a movie and he's good. Not her. Not at all. Even as I type this, she is sort of watching TV, but is simultaneously undressing. Why? Who knows.

Anyway, one more day of swimming lessons and then at least that is finished. It was really good for the kids to go every day for two weeks; not so good for this pregnant mama. Although if I had been allowed to float around in the pool, too... ;)
