1. You know those bumper stickers that say, "Mean People Suck." Well, I am all for that saying. I guess I'm not talking about mean people as much as people who go around intentionally hurting other people's feeling or making other people feel bad. I'm not sure the reasons for this behavior, and I'm sure it varies from person to person, but I think it's rude. Chris calls these people "Choppers." They are the people that will make you feel small and stupid until they feel better than or above you. Ya, well, I don't like these people. They are worse than "One Uppers" as Chris says, who always top what you say. I think their needs to be classes on etiquette and proper behavior towards people. I know that I sometimes say or do things to hurt or offend someone, but I don't do it intentionally. I don't wake up and think, "Hmm, who can I be rude to today?" Anyway, I want to give a shout out to my good friends who don't do this. I want to thank all those who are the exact opposite of what I'm discussing, you know, the people who always try to make others happy. It doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.
2. What happens after you have three kids? Well, let me show you a little picture for demonstration. In this picture, my third child is standing on the table eating Oreos. Sure, we say, "Get down." But, do we mean it? Nope. We just go on. Kiley would have NEVER been allowed to do this. I was saying this morning, I feel almost bad for her. The first child has so much put on them and expected of them. The more children you have the more you realize it isn't the biggest deal and move to something else. I always swore, all my kids would have the same rules/same expectations, but it just didn't happen. In my defense Kiley has the best manners and is the most well behaved, but Ryan isn't badly behaved either. The verdict is still out on Bryson's manners; I hope he learns them sometime.
3. I am scared out of my mind about the economy. I have prayed and cried, and I know all I can do is trust all will be fine, but I am really nervous. I try to listen to some of the news and keep up on what's going on, but I can't stand the thoughts it creates. I never want my kids to go without. I don't mean going without the nicest things, I mean going without the necessities. I am a natural "what ifer", and I don't do well with the unknown.
4. I can hardly wait for my sonogram. Ki and I are counting down the days. It's true, all I want is a healthy baby. A girl would even things out, but my boys are lots of fun. Someone asked to see a picture of me growing bigger. So here it is, but it comes with a disclaimer: Yes, I am huge this time! I swear, I took the pregnancy test and put my maternity clothes on. Want something really depressing, most of my maternity pants didn't even fit! Oh well, this is my last child, and I'm not going to worry about it. I really am just thankful to carry babies, and since this is my last one, I want to enjoy it.

As for your number one i am sorry if i am one of those people, i work on it everyday, and as for the three kids thing, oh my goodness, i know i am just like as long as you are happy do whatever you want! Plus they grow up way to fast! i can remember when Kiley was born and you called me in the middle of the night i swear that was just a couple of days ago! you look great! p.s. your black door looks awesome!, i want a black door bad.
Hey, sounds like you have a lot of things on your mind lately! I would have to agree with you on #3, it's been making me stress out these days and I hate it. I've been getting my year supply ready for whatever happens. :) I hope you have a great rest of the weekend and I love the belly shot!! Too cute!!!
I know what you mean about "mean people," a friend told me once that the top reason why someone is mean is that they are jealous of you. The economy is scary to think about too. They are letting a bunch of contractors go for Freeport and things are changing drastically there. But when I watch the news I too get depressed so I really try not to listen and think postive and do what I can with preparing my pantry and family. Oh and don't worry, with my second pregnancy my jeans didn't fit either nor did my shirts but it gives a good excuse for getting new ones! A cute prego shirt always made me feel a little better. But just remember the weight will come off, so chase those cuties around and enjoy each moment.
You look so cute pregnant! I know what you mean about taking the prego test and putting your maternity clothes on, SAME FOR ME! I swore I was having twins the second time cause I got big so fast. You look great, it's all belly!
Oh my Ashley what a cute belly you have. I can't believe that I found your blog...not really sure how, but I am very glad that I did!!! You look Great
You are a cute pregnant girl! Thanks for being a great neighbor and friend... don't worry Kiley is a great friend to Haylee and doesn't say mean things! :) I am worried about the economy too... it is a hard thing to just have faith about! Can't wait to find out what you are having!
Hey I am with you on the economy crap! I am scared to death too! Also I think you look great!
I pretty much agree with everything! I wouldn't call you a crazy pregnant girl- it's very normal to voice your opinion is what I say. You look great. Hope you're feeling better.
