39 days to go.

I'm not craving food right now at all, in fact I'm rarely hungry. My stomach feels full all day, another big baby. But, I am obsessed with drinks. It's a little ridiculous...flavored ice tea, fruit punch, orange juice...seriously, I'm obsessed. I don't keep many special drinks in the house to encourage us all to drink water, but then I'm always stopping somewhere while I'm out for the day to find my drink of choice. Silly.

I'm uncomfortable, obviously. My legs and feet are starting to swell and my back is achy. But, it's nothing that is unbearable so I just try to stay busy and keep moving. The boys keep me busy, especially in the middle of their basketball season.

Trey's games are hysterical. He starts the quarter very serious, his "defense" face on and ready. That lasts about 30 seconds. Then he's skipping down the court with his hands behind his back, observing. These guys are so little and cute out there. Trey is primarily interested in the score, not because he cares that much about winning, but because he loves numbers. Basketball games are just another opportunity for him to work on his math skills. He does, however, love to pass the ball. He must be paying attention in practice because he had some great bounce passes yesterday which made him very proud of himself. He also has mastered the fist pump when his team scores. I have to take some video so we don't ever forget how freaking cute he is out there.

Riley plays on a very good team this year, which has forced him to become more aggressive. We are very lucky again this year to have another great coach. He's so positive with the kids, constantly encouraging and teaching. They won big yesterday, 20-0. They stop keeping score if one team goes ahead by more than 10, but you can bet everyone of those kids new the exact score at the end of the game. The big news for the day was that Riley made a basket, had a great assist, and grabbed a rebound. The little man has some natural ability, he just has to stay aggressive. But, yesterday his Nana came to see him play and he was determined to score for Nana!

Evan is NOT a big fan of basketball season. He hates going to his brother's games. He'll survive and one day we will torture the older two by dragging them to whatever Evan enjoys.

Speaking of basketball...WV beat the Bucks yesterday but I don't really want to talk about that.

I think this blog will become private soon, just have to figure out how to make that happen. I'll let you know when and how it can be accessed later.
