Constipation...YAY!...not.

Well, it's happened. or been happening to me. I have gotten constipation twice this week. I drink plenty of fluids, eat fruit and fiber. The Internet says that it's because my muscles are relaxed and doesn't work the poop out. I have being constipated. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!

Fleet enema...my friend...my nemesis...here I come.

ARGH.

Summer is flying by...

So, summer is flying by...I'm not even sure what we have been doing everyday but I'm going to do my best to recount it because I really won't remember it come fall. Yenna took swimming lessons in July and a few tennis lessons which tapered off. After that, she attended a VBS at our church, Potomac Baptist and then another one at All Nations Church. She seems to enjoy it quite a bit so, we're going to continue with another one this week if we can get in.



We participated in a cooperative playgroup with three other moms and it was very very successful! Yenna's Korean has come a long way and she looks forward to spending time with this group. Hopefully, we will be able to continue in the fall and be able to participate so that she can continue her learning and appreciation of Korean.

I'm not sleeping!!!!!

So, I guess this is the fun 3rd trimester of pregnancy! I am not sleepy, or sleeping. It is almost 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake. It also might have been the coffee I had this morning past 9 a.m. but I digress. This pregnancy has been very different than the first one. The first 3 months I only wanted crackers, white bread and peanut butter and snickers bars.

I couldn't stand the smell of any Asian food---sesame seed oil, the smell of rice cooking, the smell of anything cooking...BLEECH! I had no energy and went to bed at 6 p.m. every night. I don't know how I did it!

Then the second trimester, I have been feeling better! I am craving bread, pizza, more bread, croissants, muffins---you name the carb...It's my friend. I have not gained as much as I did with Yenna but I might get there. (I hope not.)

Yenna's new funny look!

  1. I am enjoying being at home which is surprising!
  2. I like the co-op playgroup I'm currently in but it does get pretty stressful
  3. I am excited about having my second child but crazy scared about it too
  4. WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?
