Background

The OB warned me of more intense aches and pains this time around and she was not kidding!! For those of you whose teeth I clean, ignore me saying this, but my hands are almost completely numb all of the time from swelling and just my job in general. It is like nothing I've ever expereinced. It is terrible!


Who goes to the bathroom 5 times during the night? Me!! No exaggeration. Every night! Last week I decided I was not going to have anything to drink after 5pm so I could get some sleep. What happened? I was up by 2am with strong contractions because I was dehydrated. I moved down to the living room and started chugging water. And then came the peeing. I can't win!

I am 32 weeks now, so not too much longer until we meet this little guy/gal and I can't wait! I will miss feeling the baby move and watching the kids' reaction when my stomach jumps from side to side, but I am ready to feel "normal" again. Since this will definitely be our last child, we decided to get some maturnity photographs taken. If you want to see a couple of them, visit www.image24photography.blogspot.com or visit Image 24 Photography on Facebook. Our talented neighbor took them and we are excited to see them all soon.

Braeden brought home a spelling word assignment that he completed in class last week. The directions had him pick 5 spellings words from the list and write 5 sentences using the words. This is what his sentences were(mind you, they spell things as they sound):

1. Did you grow?

2. Did you show your udr-war?

3. My udr-war blows.

4. Your pase are down.

5. Come to powp?

I wasn't really sure what these sentences said, so I had him read them to me. This is what they were supposed to say:

1. Did you grow?

2. Did you show your underwear?

3. My underwear blows.

4. Your pants are down.

5. Come to poop?

Was he serious? Did he really think this was okay? I never expected Braeden to write these type of sentences in class. I asked him what he was thinking and what his teacher said. Braeden,"She thought it was funny and wanted me to bring it home for you to see." Oh, she thought it was funny. I doubt it!! She probably wanted me to see it because it is completely inappropriate!

I had Braeden read his sentences to Ed and believe me, after his reaction, there will be no more assignments with bathroom humor!!
