Today we are having our kitchen countertops changed! Ricky’s friend is doing it…we got a good deal and used our extra tax refund $ to pay for half of it. The other half we will pay in installments.
Here are the before shots….the after shots will come later!
I can’t wait to see what it looks like!
Things are going well so far.
In the first trimester I was 99% certain I would never want anymore kids. After that ended, I kinda thought "well maybe…in a few years". Since going to England I have definitely come to the realization that I am totally done being pregnant and having any more kids! EVER! I want my body back for good! I am so done being pregnant, I just want it over with asap.
I can’t make the decision to get my tubes tied though….the only reason being that I would still love to pursue my dream of being a surrogate. I know this contradicts my never wanting to be pregnant again theory…..but I just can’t make that decision yet. So for now I will get the 10 year IUD put in.
Anyway my weight has shot up and I am huge! I look far bigger than I did at this point with Kyne….it is amazing.
Little boy moves a bit more these days, I can feel prods and pokes from arms and legs…..but he still isn’t the biggest mover…few and far between.
As for names…well we’ve hardly discussed them! I just can’t get on board with the whole name thing. It was so hard naming Kyne. We have both said that we still like Reece, but spelt Rhys….and then maybe a J middle name. Talon wants him to be called R.J, he said "R.J is his name and that’s what I will call him". I will call him Rhys though! ha ha - I dunno…..it’s too time consuming to think about. Any thoughts or comments welcome! 
I have my next OB appt on the 4th I think, and I will have to do the glucose test that day. It doesn’t bother me like some others.
Here are some recent belly shots:
Yucky stretch marks! Gosh I am huge!
This was on the beach in England on one of the nicest days we had there.
Well we’ve been back one week today, and I am still getting over the exhaustion! It took 4 days to get over the jet-lag when arriving, so I was expecting it.
Our trip was just lovely….the kids did so much fun stuff and really enjoyed themselves. My mum has a farm with tons of animals (2 horses, 3 small ponies, 4 geese, 2 sheep, 5 ducks and 2 puppies!) and an indoor pool….so there was always something to keep them entertained. My brother took a week off work and we saw him every day he was off….the kids adore him and his girlfriend.
The plane journey both there and back was pretty great considering. The way back was the best though, we got the bulk-head seats and they were amazing…I think I will always ask for them when we fly from now on, although next time there will be 6 of us!
I really miss my mum, and can’t wait for her to come over when the baby gets here. It was so great seeing everyone….but I am glad we are home and settled again now…it is tiring trying to control 3 kids when your not in your own home.

What a wonderful trip!
