My super power is diminishing

In previous years during pregnancies Rick gave me many compliments about how I acted, grew, looked, and my general health. I claimed pregnancy as my super power! Don't get me wrong, I still experienced some pretty typical morning sickness, blood sugar drops, swelling, weepiness/moods, fatigue, shortness of breath... But all in all was in a great mood. While expecting the girls I worked thru; actually with G, I worked even the morning of. With Adelaide I planned to do the same, but ended up taking a day or two off beforehand. This go round I'm at home and it seems much different. 

G time

Guin earned her first trophy this past weekend. She participated in a in-house gymnastics exhibition. She took her turn and listened to her couches. She did more and had more fun than during her dance recital; a year and a half makes a big difference! Also the more she's able to do things like this the better (less shy) she'll do. One funny thing... During the show (while waiting her turn) she waved me over. I went because I thought she needed help with her runny nose. It ended being for a request of popcorn that they were selling to the audience. Hahaha!! I told her I'd buy some for her after she was done and reminded her to pay attention to her couches. After it was over, Rick asked her what her favorite part was. Guin first answered 'everything' then 'popcorn' but corrected herself and said 'getting my trophy'. It was a good time!

Next we went to cousin Josey's birthday party. What fun - food, cupcakes, crafts, movies, games, and play time! It evolved to a sleepover and Guin said that 'this is the best day'. The next day they had donuts for breakfast and pizza with 'blue juice' for lunch.Though she butt heads with Aden, she had a great time! (Her first sleepover at the Phillips house went pretty well... She ate, she had a dry night, she played... And shifted her behavior after the threat of calling 'Mom'.)

Playing well together :) Guinny is showing Adelaide the ropes... of being a big sister!

Yep, we are expecting baby #3 in late May/early June 2014.
