I'm 15 weeks along now in this 3rd pregnancy thing, and right now I feel pretty good and normal. Before I knew I was pregnant I woke up one night to feed Addilyn and when I got out of bed both of my legs from the knees down pretty much felt like they were broken. (To which Jonathan scoffs and says, "you don't even know what broken legs feel like") but seriously, they hurt SO bad. Especially my feet. It was hard to walk, especially up and down the stairs. I was pretty convinced I had leg cancer and that they would both have to be immediately amputated, but then luckily a few days after this started I took a positive pregnancy test! Then I was just really hoping that the two were related, and I could scratch out getting my legs amputated. Turns out, my doc said it was early edema (pregnancy swelling) and not to worry. Worry or not, it sucked. It lasted about 2 months and then gradually went away, and I'm grateful it's gone, and really hoping it doesn't return.
Another annoying symptom I've had is being annoyed (ha!). I'm annoyed at my kids, I'm annoyed at other peoples' kids, I'm annoyed at random people and random situations like I know I shouldn't be. It's very frustrating. At least I'm aware it's happening so I know to keep my mouth shut a lot of times instead of burning a lot of bridges.
Some things I've been craving so far include: milk. Tons of milk. Like, a gallon by myself in 3 days. Pasta salad. Green olives. Pizza rolls. Crunchy tacos from taco bell. Arby's, except now I've eaten way too much Arby's and I probably won't eat it again for a while. Maple and brown sugar oatmeal with toast. And orange juice.
Anyway- so far this pregnancy is dragging. I'm like, "Seriously, only 15 weeks by now?! Blah." And it's not that I hate pregnancy, but being pregnant again makes me very sure in saying I don't want to do it again. Hopefully everything continues to go smoothly and we are so excited for October 4th when we find out if it's a girl or boy!

So when is your due date? Elsha told me 2/20 or something?? That's almost exactly Ruby's due date.
The milk thing is crazy! I didn't want anything to do with milk in the beginning of my pregnancy.
Can't wait to hear the sex! Do you have a preference?
2/20 is right! I'm shooting for Valentines day but if not, DEFINITELY Ruby's birthday! I have no preference, but I'm pretty much 100% sure it's a girl, so it's a good thing I didn't have my hopes up for a boy.
I'm super surprised that this pregnancy is dragging! I would think because you are busy with two other little ones time would be flying!
I also for a little while have the annoyed problem but it went away after a pretty short time!
Can't wait to find out what you're having!
No matter how quickly the rest of the pregnancy goes, the first few and last few weeks are always slow, it's the middle that flies. And it WILL fly, since Addo will be 16 months by then! Can hardly imagine it.
