What did you do last night?

We spent the evening eating pizza rolls and pouring over fantasy football projections and draft info (pretty sure I've got the best team selected - we'll see how that holds up come draft day). SO FUN!! I love football season!

A FABULOUS Saturday morning

Lately, it's been easy to feel cranky and tired all the time and a little bit lazy. Titus must be doing some major growth right now because I feel wiped out! And when that happens we just go into survival mode around here. Cleaning, laundry and all other unpleasant chores are done on a "have to" basis and breakfast often get served up on the coffee table while watching TV...

BUT sometimes, like last night, miracles happen in this humble little home of ours. Ones where I get better than 10 hours of sleep...in one night...and uninterrupted! Hallelujah! Do you hear the angels singing? That's how good this morning is. I woke up feeling fan-tas-tic.

On mornings like this, that same multi-grain frozen waffle teams up with cheesey scrambled eggs, fresh kiwi, turkey bacon and a drizzle of syrup to create a culinary treat for breakfast.

On mornings like this, I can fully clean, organize, sweep and mop a toy room, a bedroom, a hallway and two bathrooms before 9am. Booyah! Take that dust and clutter!

So a big thank you to the wonderful husband who let me go to bed early last night. I really appreciate it (and judging from how fast they cleaned their plates at breakfast I think the boys do to)! 

What happened to the rain?

After today's crazy downpour and hail storm David turned to me and said "Mama, the rain is done. I think God turned it off. God's a pretty cool dude." I love hearing what's going on in his little head!

28 weeks!

I'm 28 weeks now! Just 12 more to go...unless, of course, little Titus decided to be gigantic like his brothers and I have to be induced a week early like I did with them. It's been a week since my gestational diabetes glucose test. I still haven't heard from my doctor which is excellent news. They only call if it comes back positive. I was really hoping NOT to hear my phone ring. :)

Titus has finally flipped himself head down instead of laying sideways. Ok, not "finally". He actually had plenty of time to do that before birth, but it was getting very uncomfortable for me so I was hoping he'd do it sooner rather than later. It took him a good 3-4 days of twists, turns and kicks to fully make the move. Not a very fun few days for me, but in a way I was still glad to get some relief fromt the usual aches and pains. Ever since those really active days I've had a lot of muscle cramps and even some shooting pains and spasms in my back. I've been in lots of pain. I went to see my chiropractor today and she was able to tell me why. During Titus' active and rowdy transition he dislocated some stuff in my low back and knocked a rib out of place. He's now sitting with his butt tucked under my rib cage so really big kicks or even constant pressure could displace the rib agian. My poor muscles don't know what to do with a crooked rib cage so it causes a lot of cramps and spasms.

This week at the Sager house....

• Max discovered "no" as his new favorite word. That's sorta fun...not. It's not often said in defiance or in a negative way. At this point, it's just another word to shriek through the house, but still it's not music to a mama's ears.
• Titus has been super active this week. That's both wonderful and painful. I do love feeling his little (and big) punches, but being as big as he is now it's starting to get uncomfortable. For the majority of this pregnancy he's been laying transverse or sideways rather than vertical/up & down. It wasn't so bad when he was teeny, but now his stretches pull horrible on my back muscles and it's been giving me lots of spasms and cramps. I've also started getting Braxton Hicks contractions (the fakey fake kind that do nothing except making me uncomfortable), sciatic pain in my leg and back and massive amounts of forgetfulness. None of those are very lovely or welcome things. Blech. :/ But I'm only 4 days from starting my third trimester. Where did the time go???
• Dave finished his coursework for the summer semester and was able to turn it all in 3 days early. Our summer break (which is now a stunning 17 days long) has officially begun!
• I took my glucose test on Wednesday to check for gestational diabetes. I know my fasting numbers were good at the beginning of the test (or else they wouldn't have let me start it) and they didn't dismiss me at the one hour mark when they checked again so I'm assuming those numbers are good too. As long as the final 2 hour numbers looked healthy, I think I'm in the clear! Still waiting to hear from my doctor...at this point I think no news is good news.
