3rd trimester, here I come

Friday, I officially started my third trimester--13 wks and counting (actually hoping for more like 12 wks, but we'll see).  If my memory doesn't fail me, this pregnancy has been the hardest, by far, but I plan to hang in there and tough it out without too many complaints, because I feel so blessed to be growing this precious boy inside me.  

Here is why I think it is more difficult:

1. I am now 33, no spring chicken.

2. I have 2 little ones with lots of energy, that sometimes will go 3 days in a row without napping--no naps for this weary head.

3. Varicose Veins, in a word--painful!!!

Other than that I feel GREAT!!!

Don't look too close--I probably have dark circles. I really only slept about 5 hours last night--the rest of the night I spent tossing and turning, as little Bos was practicing for the Olympics in my belly.
