2/3 Down!

The 24th sure is a busy day. Happy Birthday to Will, who is two today. His sister Lily turns one in exactly five months. And three months from today is both Mackenzie's first birthday and my due date. So, how has this second trimester been? Tiring, more than anything. I swear I'm bigger than I was with the other two, and the doctor said there's "plenty of fluid" in there, which might explain why this one doesn't kick me in mean ways, too. Bigger means that my back and hips take a worse beating, though, and the last few days I've had trouble getting out of bed or off the couch because my hips will stiffen up and it really hurts to unbend them. I might just have to spend more time at the pool. Or maybe I could open my prenatal pilates DVD I bought two months ago and try stretching.

Oh, big thanks to Rick for opening your garage to Jonathan, yesterday. He had a blast working on the bed we've designed for Elena. He's got some things to rout, some holes to drill, and a lot of sanding to do, but everything is cut and looks really good.
