UPDATE

30 weeks and 1 day

Lilly: Well she has a new found LOVE to go 'poddy'..........except she hasn't put the go poddy and actually go pee thing together! She is obsessed! Any ideas on how to get both of those together? I am just glad she is on the right track. She will now pull her pants down, sit on the poddy, wipe, flush and her favorite thing is the end, washing her hands. SOOOO we just need her to pee and we will have it. We may start trying in a few weekends. WE WOULD LOVE to not have two in diapers!

She may be mama's girl but she is not too girly!

Levi: SNOW DAY AND DR APPT...YAY! We went to the doctor today...NOT BAD news! We were really me hoping that we would get as good of news as last time and maybe the mass had shrank a little more. However the measurements were about the same. So we are just pleased that it has not grown! 9 weeks and 6 days for that 1.3cm x 2.3cm stinking thing to GO AWAY!

Lesley: Okay, Levi HAS to wait to come out but man am I done already. I try my best not to complain because no one likes a complaining pregnant woman.....

• I'm tired of not sleeping good.(don't tell me it is preparing me for no sleep when he comes because nothing prepares you for that!) 
• I feel huge already. (I am ready to run again. Though I know when I can run again I will be griping about getting up to go run!)
• I'm tired of some comments. (OMG I could write a book about what not to say to a pregnant woman! I am sure anyone who has been pregnant would agree with me.)
• OMG, it is WAY harder the second time around! (The first time...come home from standing up teaching 20 kindergartners, prop my feet up and take a nap. The second time....stand up teaching kindergarten all day, go home and give all the rest of your energy to a 2 year old, housework, school work.....Then sleep if I can.)
• TOTALLY done with doctor appointments! So today my fluid was lower so now I get to go to the high risk doctor EVERY WEEK! YUK to the copays every week but yay to an ultraond every week! Starting next Monday it will be 2 appointments one week and 1 appointment the next for 9 weeks. 
• I also find myself not being sympathetic to others complaints....Yeah I'm working on this and realize it. :) 

THERE I only complained if you chose to read.
I say all that in knowing that I am totally blessed and have it way better than some women do. This is why I try not to complain. I also remember what a good friend always says "In three years (or soon) this will all be behind you and it won't matter."
A few good friends of mine gave me a 'sprinkle' this past Saturday and it was more than I imagined. I got some of the best gifts, ate some great food, and really enjoyed hanging out with some girls I haven't got to hang out with in awhile.

On an unrelated note, I got observed 2 Fridays ago so I am finished with my observations for the year. I thought it went okay but it went actually better than I thought. It is such a relief to have this over!

Joel: Well not much except he is still surviving me and a 2 year old.  Pretty sure he is counting down the days just as much as I am except more so he doesn't have to deal with me anymore. He is very busy with his honey do list I have for him all the time.

Well that's all folks. Thanks for the continued prayers and support!
