Lolli's excited!

Lolli is so excited about this baby! She tells me she wants to help me "get the baby out" and she wants to dry it off after it's born (after which she asks me a million questions about why babies come out wet). She is adamant that she does NOT want to "cut that thing" (the cord) but she does want the baby to sleep in her room in a pack n play so she can take care of it when it wakes up at night. She wants to name it Julie if it's a boy and Giraffey if it's a girl. She's hilarious.

We were watching birth videos on YouTube today and I told her that I might be a bit noisier than the particular mama we were watching, but that it's ok and Lolli shouldn't be scared. Her response? "I know what to do mom! I'll just put my hand over your mouth to keep you quiet!!" HA! I told her she could rub my back or sing to me but she should absolutely not put her hand anywhere near my mouth lol She cracks me up

Random thoughts about Baby #3

I already feel way more connected to this baby than I ever did the other 2, all the way through my pregnancies. Like.... I always knew I was GOING to love my girls once they were born and I met them face-to-face, but this time I feel like I *already* love this little group of cells, which is weird for me. I'm a big emotional fool about this one!

My belly button is already shifting to the right, my stretch marks are becoming raised, and my lower abdomen is already slightly distended (puffy) looking. And I'm only 4w 6d pregnant. Crazy! I know it's not really that the baby's making that much of a difference (It's the size of this period . ) but just that my body remembers being pregnant and is reverting back more quickly to that state. But it's still fun and interesting.

I'm sometimes sensitive to smells, but so far I haven't had any nausea or anything. I was really tired last weekend but I've done pretty well this week, so my body must have gotten used to the idea of the baby on board and accommodated for the extra blood flow.

Can't wait for my belly to get reeeeally big and the girls be able to feel their little sibling kicking <3
