Quatro Update

Well, me and Quatro are hanging in there.  33 weeks this week, and it seems like we have forever left to go.   I really think my tummy is incapable of stretching any more - I'm huge, and stretched so tight!  I really don't remember being this popped out with my other babies.  Some of my maternity pants/skirts don't even fit up over my belly!  Maybe Quatro will end up being my biggest kid.  Wyatt was in the 7's and I've heard that each baby gets bigger.  Time will tell.

In the meantime, I'm doing ok.  It's still super duper hot here, which makes me somewhat miserable.  But, it keeps me from doing too much outside stuff which is probably a good thing (although my poor children haven't seen the swimming pool but twice this whole summer!)  I spend my days lately sitting on the couch watching the Olympics while I bask in the a/c and sit under two ceiling fans.  It's working.

My hips and back hurt, but I've found that laying sitting upright can help a ton - so JL and I have moved out to the couch! :)  Not only do I get to prop myself up, but I also get to sleep in the coolest room in the whole house.  It's helped a ton!  I had almost forgotten what it was like to sleep!

In other news - Quatro is probably my least active baby.  I remember the others as being super squirmers and packing a mean kick.  But Quatro - he/she usually only gives my belly a kick when I've sat down for the evening and/or am ready to sleep.  JL seems to think this has more to do with me than it does Quatro.  It's entirely possible I only feel Quatro at this time because I'm actually SITTING down and I can focus on it.  Rather than running around taking care of my other 3 cuties.  I tend to agree, although, I think Quatro must like the hustle and bustle of my day and would rather sleep/listen/hang on for dear life while I go about my business. :)

I see the Dr. again on Wednesday.  I'm nearing my last ultrasound, so future updates should be fun.  I may even have some updated pictures of Quatro to post for you!  Yay!
