27 Weeks :: Movin’ Right Along

I don’t have much energy left, but wanted to check in tonight. Exhaustion has been a theme this week. I do well throughout the day, but tend to crash around 8 or 9 p.m. I’ve got some aches and pains here and there, and some nights the heartburn kills. But by and large — no pun intended — I’m doing well.

I was supposed to have a four-dimensional ultrasound and some other OB visit highights on Friday, but I had to reschedule them to make room for Max’s tonsillectomy. Ugh… On Friday, my little man goes under the knife, and I’m not looking forward to it. Lily had her tonsils out at three, in 2007, and we had a time of it! I’m hoping this time is much better for us.

But tomorrow is a gift. All three kids will be home, I’m off work, and the weather is supposed to be fantastic! So we’ll take that day like a bird in the hand before things go downhill. We’ll play and savor and picnic. And I promise not to play Christmas music.

Thanks to all of you veterans and active duty military for making these days possible, for making America the amazing and free country it is, and for making us all feel safe and secure, even when you didn’t.

Good night, America. Go hug a veteran.
