So I suck at updating I know. I've decided to apply for both Art History and Library Science. I'm only going to take two courses this fall; Art History Survey to 1500 (or is it 1800?) and one of the core LS classes....Library Professions maybe? I can't remember. They are both online was the point. I've discovered that only a few of the art history classes are actually online and I'm not going to be in a position to attend a steady stream of actual on campus classes this fall with a new baby. This way I get one of each and can make a decision about one or the other if I need too. This is of course all assuming we magically come up with money to pay for these....if they were both graduate level classes then it would count as attending half time which means I would qualify for financial aid, but since one is an undergraduate course I don't think I'll qualify for anything, so we'll see how that goes. Anyway, really this was for posting my belly shots since some of you don't have facebook accounts to see where I posted them there. So here you go:

Yeah, I know, it would help if they were all cropped the same or shot from the same distance, but you get the idea...and yes I did dye my hair brown in the last one. At least it's starting to grow out some, hopefully by the time the baby comes it will look normal again. I haven't been having too hard a time with this pregnancy until the past week or two when it seems I all of a sudden 'feel' pregnant. Suddenly my stomach is huge, I'm awkward, I can't bend over without cutting off circulation to my head, and as of the past two days I can no longer easily roll over in bed or walk without cringing in pain for the first few minutes after a long 'rest'. Bah. I've also been in a bad mood lately...the two may be related. I hate being pregnant, I hate taking care of my kids, I hate being home, I hate having to go somewhere, I hate how incredibly messy my house is and I hate cleaning it. I hate my church calling, I hate my books, I hate my yoga class, I hate exercising in general and I'm not particularly looking forward to the next fifteen weeks, not to mention the new level of chaos that will be achieved by adding one more kid to the mix. I just want to relax and hang out with my husband (and no kids). I want to sleep in and stay up late without worrying about someone bugging me in the night or morning. I want to go places and see interesting things, but I also want to laze about the house all day doing absolutely nothing. I want to look fabulous but I don't want to be bothered getting ready for the day. So I guess I'm in a pregnancy funk or something...or I'm in serious need of a baby-free vacation. Bah. So I'm tons of fun to be around right now I'm sure. :) How are you doing?

Kiera you are great! I had those same feelings during pregnancy so at least know that you're normal. Or we're both crazy. hmmm... I actually didn't get out of the 'funk' until about 2 months after the birth. When the sleep schedule regulates I become normal again. You should definitely take a kid free vacation. We did a 'babymoon' with Craig and with Blake and loved it!
Awe. So...going to school Won't make things more stressful? Okay. That's cool that you found some online classes you could do, that might be cool. I didn't notice your hair was died, it looks the same color as the first picture, but that might be because of the lighting or something.
So you hate my belly pictures that are shot at different locations in different directions?
I had not idea you were pregnant. That's so exciting! I know you are miserable right now, but I'm still super excited for you. If I lived in Texas I'd babysit your kids for an afternoon so you could go out with you husband. Wishing you the BEST!
Kathryn- Thanks! It's probably just because I haven't been sleeping well the last few weeks, you're probably right. Though I hope it doesn't last until two months after the baby is born. ;)
Tearese- Shut up! :P It would give me something to do that didn't have anything to do with kids and babies and staying at home wiping snotty noses for the rest of my life. Besides Isabelle will be at school full time next year so there will be less annoying ones at home (she tends to get on my nerves more then the others these days) ;) No I don't hate your belly shots, but the point of mine is to make size comparisons both within the pregnancy and with previous ones, not to look pretty or like 'maternity shots' or whatever. So that means I'd like them all consistently shot at the same angle in the same location to better compare.
Lex- Thanks! You could totally babysit my kids if you were here. Hey, I was looking at your pics and I noticed your cousin and her husband used to be in the same ward as us in Denton. The Duttons? Crazy huh?
I think you look cute! When did you cut your hair!!!?? Box those kids and send them to grandma and grandpa. I've been in the same frame of mind and I'm not pregnant. Maybe it's a family thing. It will pass. Kimber
I've been feeling that way lately, too. I always feel cranky during the spring because of my stupid seasonal allergies. Fortunately, I'm not preggers, so I just get to be cranky about school and my one aanoying teenager.
You died your hair while pregnant?!? You're gonna have a flipper baby!
If you and Patrick wanna go out of town during the summer, I could stay with the wee ones. I can't while I'm in school of course.
Margie- Really? 'Cuz that would be freak'n awesome. When does school get out? ;)
