This baby is grew like 12 feet in a week or something because all of a sudden I am in severe discomfort. And oh how I longed for summer to get here...it's my favorite time of the year! But, alas, I am hating it right now. I can't get cooled off for anything. I was thinking of digging a pond in the backyard. How long could it take? Or maybe I could get someone else to dig me a pond in the backyard! Any takers? I have plenty of popsicles for all involved. and you can even take a dip in it when you're done! Ponds are kind of muddy though, huh? Maybe not. No, not.

Holy Cow, I thought I somehow got on the wrong website. So, is this "Lost?" I've heard it's a good show, though I've never seen it. Maybe I'll have to check it out someday. Bruce and I got into watching "Heros" once it had come out on DVD. We LOVED it!! Very addictive though. We'd stay up and watch "Just one more episode" after another, till we were both so tired we were useless the next day. I like our TV after the kids go to bed dates.
So, how far along are you anyway? Are you getting close? Pregnancy does seem to be everlasting doesn't it! Hang in there. Like the Second Coming, it will eventually get here, though it doesn't really seem like it ever will.
Hey, I've been "lurking" around your blog and thought I would pop on here and comment. You met me once during the City of Joseph pageant when I went up to visit John. I had a really bad headache and I ended up falling asleep in the back of your car. So, if you did remember me it would be as "sleepy headache girl".
Oh and sorry I can't dig you that mud free pond. Have you tried swimming at an indoor pool?
K, renae, Lost is the best show EVER!! Yes, we're hooked on Heroes too but Lost does far surpass it. It's one of those shows you would have to start at the very beginning and go in order or you would be severely confused! I highly recommend it! I have about 16 weeks left but, right about now is when the complaining really starts for me. Especially in the summer. I hate being pregnant.
Timpani, I do remember you sleeping in the back of my car now that you mention it. you may lurk here anytime! :)
how about a shower head installed onthe outside of my house with a recliner underneath it???
Oh man Colista. I know how you feel. Last summer, I thought I would die being pregnant. Not only that...I became swollen EVERYWHERE. I wanted to get some "crocks" to wear to be more comfortable, but my feet wouldn't even fit in those! Our air is pretty cold here... if you ever want to come over and sit on an AC vent. lol. I did it all the time.
Our whole family watches Lost. We have the first three seasons on DVD and it is even better the second time, there r so many little things u pick up on.
I know how to get cooled off- jump in the Mississippi, u know u used to do it. lol (Cori Hildreth)
Hey Colista! Sorry I've been so long gone! I am awful about keeping in touch with people (and phone conversations; I completely agree, make it quick. Sorry, I hate the phone). Anyway, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blogs. You have had me laughing and crying. You need to be blogging for some company like "Tending Violet." You've read this? It's the story of a first time mom and her openly honest adventures with motherhood. I have to say that your blog rivals hers.
I have never been pregnant in summer, thank God. I hope you get the recliner and shower, although I know it would all be for not because four boys would think it's the coolest thing in the world and you would never get to sit in it, just watch them having a blast and extra laundry after.
I loved the quote that you shared from one of your friends; the one about enthusiasm. I wanted to share the quote that I keep on my fridge:
Parenthood has been described as "a set of radically unselfish and often INCOMPREHENSIBLY INCONVENIENT activities" (Tiger, 1979). Given this depiction, it is indeed curious that most adults become parents. Some have argued that what makes these "decades of compromise" bearable may be the view that the future holds promise: "Presumably, the beliefs that one's own children are talented, attractive, and generally appealing makes people willing to sustain sacrifices to that these remarkable offspring can realize their potential." (Taylor, 1989).
I read this daily. Keep up your humor and spirits. This too shall pass. Congratulations on boy #5!

Well, thanks for all the accolades, Julie! You just made my head swell! lol! I love that quote. I'll have to put that one up as well. Even as I sit here typing I am breaking up and argument over watching Veggie Tales or the movie ZOOM. It's a constant power struggle, not only between me and them but, between the four of them. AHHHHHH!
Cori- I'm glad there is another lost fan to talk with! MAybe we can share our theories sometime! Mine change weekly!
