Anemic, Heartbeats, and Grumpy

OK, maybe it's just having two kids, and being home with them all the time, but I don't think that I can make it 10 more weeks of being pregnant. I have never been pregnant in the summer, so this heat (even though it hasn't been that hot), is killing me. Last night at Young Women's, they were making fun of me because I thought it was so hot in our room, and no one else did. Thankfully they turned on the AC for me.

Yesterday I took the kids with me for the first time to my doctor's appointment. Claire really didn't want to go, and Owen was banging on the bathroom door yelling at me while I was - well you know. Anyways, they were actually really great, and were intrigued by them measuring my tummy. Claire's eyes were so big when they found the babies heartbeat, and she was very excited. I hope it helps her get ready. The baby sounds great, and everything looks good on paper. As far as I'm concerned, it could come any day. My midwife was a little concerned about all my Braxton Hicks contractions, and told me that I need to stop doing as much, and drink more water. I kinda like the idea of not doing as much - I wish it were possible. I was watching a bit of the Today show today, and they had this whole thing on Kangaroos. Did you know that they have their babies when they are the size of a lima bean, and then they stay in their pouch until they grow up. I think I like that idea because giving birth to them would be so much easier!!!!

I also found out that I am anemic. I have never had that problem before, which could be why I am so tired, so now I get to take another vitamin (I hate taking pills), and I have to remember (I'm really not good at remembering). Oh well, it's just another thing.

I have to say that I have been grumpy!!!! I'm sure it is the heat, being uncomfortable, and being tired. So, I'm trying really hard to take an afternoon nap (if possible), and just trying not to blow up at my kids. They were so great yesterday because I told them I had to take a nap, and they let me have a whole 45 minutes to myself. Then Claire asked if I was feeling better. I guess they really do listen.

I guess I can't complain to much - 10 weeks will go by so fast, and then I will have other things to complain about I'm sure.
