Definitely 3rd Trimester

Man, this week has definitely let me know that I have hit third trimester.  There's this undeniable fatigue/exhaustion I've been feeling, no matter how much sleep I get!  Now afternoon times aren't for the kids because they're tired, it's for me because I can't keep my eyes open!

There is also that hit of hunger like no other.  And, I'm sorry, but if you haven't been pregnant you really can't understand what I'm talking about.  There is this hunger that hits, all of the sudden, and if you pretty much don't eat something in the next few minutes or so you feel like your stomach (or let's be real, the thing growing inside of you) is going to consume you.  And it's kinda out of control because you can have just eaten something but it doesn't matter... this is, as my Dad would call it, "put the feed bag on" time.

Also, and this is actually kind of embarrassing, but we're all friends here right?  And pretty much if I can't laugh about it, then, I'm taking myself WAY to seriously.  And, this is just another step in knowing I am about to get huge.  So, I was playing with Lucy on the floor and she really likes to give knock down hugs.  This originated with Dude when Gaetan would come home from work he would be so excited that he would run from wherever he was and give him a big hug.  And, of course, Gaetan being a fun Papa would fall over backwards and the kids think it's great.  So, now that Lucy is into doing everything that Dude is, she gives big knock down hugs too... so she thought this would be a great idea to do to Momma... hrm.  Well, she gave me a big hug (how I got on my back) and then she wanted an airplane ride.  You know the kind where the kids get on your legs and you fly them around? Well, I did that for a few minutes until I realized, I was stuck.  I realized I couldn't actually delicately put her down without just flopping down and all I could do was call for help and wait.  Gaetan so graciously came over to help to get Lucy down and me off the floor... and then we all had a good laugh.  Whew.  It could've been disastrous if we were home alone...

It's also that time when maternity shirts stop fitting... because my belly is that awesome.  Looking for stylish moo-moo's if you have any suggestions I'm all ears (and belly apparently).  :)
