So today wasn't the first time I have felt Oliver kick, but he is really starting to kick me way more often. Mostly when I'm hungry and right after I've eaten he starts to kick...but he is starting to get bigger so this might be why. I'm also starting to reach the point in the pregnancy where I feel like I can't stop eating...and then after I do feel full my stomach feels really tight. It's so funny to compare this pregnancy to when I was pregnant with the triplets. I did not really have any time to wait until I reached this point because it happened so fast. I was about the size I am now at 11 or 12 weeks with the triplets. This is what has seemed like forever waiting for Oliver to get big enough to feel him moving! It has helped with my comfort level a little more though with knowing he is okay in there. I'm two weeks away from the 6 month mark, and will have 3 more left...and this just blows me away! This pregnancy seems to be flying by, which is different from the last time. But he can definitely take his time that is for sure.
Oh the joys of being pregnant though...the growing stomach, the sore breasts, the heartburn...and all worth it when you can bring home a healthy baby. And even so...still worth it when you get to meet your child or children. In January...I will know both!

I'm going to try...
So I have made the decision I am going to try to keep up with blogging and I've even started a new page about the books I read. So much has happened from the last time I posted. And I sometimes get into these moods where I remember I have a blog and get really into it, and then I begin to neglect it after awhile. This time I will try to make different and stay on top of things. Let's see...the last time I posted on the blog was back in April 2010...and it's September!
The long and the short of it...we found out we were pregnant again on May 19th...a few weeks later we had our first ultrasound and saw it was just one this time...enter a few meltdowns here...the doctor has me coming in every 2 weeks to measure my cervix to ensure it doesn't fail on me again, and so far so good...I'm 21 weeks pregnant so more than half way down...we found out "officially" on the 9th of this month we are having a boy (this was after 2 guesses the previous weeks by the u/s techs and we were pretty confident)...our baby boy cooking will be named Oliver Crosby Minges (decided before we ever found out we were pregnant again)...Justin has had a few more tri's and a 160 mile bike ride since then and survived...I've started selling Pampered Chef and I'm getting the experience of being my own boss and having my own business...and we have 4 months left before Oliver will be here and we can't wait, but we will...very patiently. We want him to be on time and healthy!
And that's what you missed.

Letting go...and Triathlons!
So I know blogging will probably help with a lot of things I got going on in my head, but I have a hard time just letting go to the internet universe. I know it needs to get out there somewhere and maybe someone would be able to relate...I just don't know.
So I figure I'll start here...one version of therapy, laughing! Just because it is something I am currently doing...Tosh.O is hilarious!!! It is definitely one show Justin and I can watch together and laugh our butts off. For those who have never seen it, you should check it out. It comes on Wednesdays at 10ish on comedy central. Well we think it's funny. Others we can laugh at are: How I Met Your Mother, Accidentally On Purpose, Big Bang Theory, and Cougar Town (well that one is mainly for me)!
Sometimes it just takes too much energy to think about all the bad things that can or have happened, and it's nice to just let go!
Whew!
Also, Justin had his first triathlon for the season yesterday and finished it in 1:16...then, we came home and planted our vegetable garden. So we are halfway done with that and are waiting until we can find the other plants we want to put in there. (Pictures to come) Next weekend we are going to Vegas for Kevin's 21st birthday and it's going to be a blast! We can't wait!
