I have an alligator in my belly!

So, I have something like 12 weeks left and apparently I am carrying an alligator in my belly! For the past week I have not slept much because the baby likes to roll around which was so fun when he started doing it but now after too many sleep deprived nights.....not so much. It seriously feels like he's going to roll himself out at any moment.

I wish I could get him on my schedule so we'd both get some sleep! I know my body movement during the day lulls him to sleep and I'm trying to think of a way I can keep rockin at night so maybe he'll calm down enough for me to catch some zz's. Any suggestions?

Sincerely exhausted,
Gator momma in Texas

Goodbye....not so good.

So our family is a bit notorious for long, drawn out, heart wrenchingly sad, tearful farewells. I remember many times as a girl watching my mom say bye to her family and how sad it was not to mention how long it took. It wasn't uncommon to begin the goodbye session and not actually drive away till a few HOURS later. The legacy lives on!

We were so lucky to have Aggie and Bryce visit us for several weeks (I lost track how long exactly because we had so much fun!). Today they packed up and headed back to UT and you guessed it....we had a full blown tear fest. I don't know about Aggie but my eyes are so bloodshot and swollen, I will be cancelling my social calendar for the rest of the day! The kids were a mess and David got in on the fun too! I know....we're such babies.

I remember though watching my mom go through this (and still do) and thinking how much she must love her brothers and sisters because she hurts so badly when the have to part ways. I am grateful to have that same loving relationship with my family. She is an amazing sister and we had so much fun together!! I miss you Aggs!! Of course I miss you too Bryce!!
