crappy


So I am having a hell of time with this blog ordeal. Apparently the is some sort of bug that is refusing to allow me (and many others) to upload pictures and videos.....worked fine a few days ago and now it's crap. After reading several help forums I had to change a billion settings to some old school crap! We shall see how well this work. It's not nearly as easy to upload pics, so hopefully I can switch back to the old way before long. Always something to chap my ass....



Here is a belly picture at 30 weeks!

29 WEEKS

I promised updates on Wyatt so I guess I had better deliver.  I am currently 29 weeks and 4 days pregnant.  Everything is going great.  This is been by far the easiest pregnancy for me!  Go figure, leave it to the last one to be the easiest :)  He is extremely low.  I keep telling Tyler I feel like any minute Wyatt is going to just stick his arm out and wave to me ...I wish I was kidding.   I am getting the pregnancy waddle, not because I feel huge but because my pelvis is killing me.  My OB says that this pelvic pain is really common for moms who have had large babies in the past.  (Gunnar was 9lbs 10oz and Troy was 9lbs 14oz).  The other concern has been how big Wyatt will be.  In the first ultrasound they said he was actually a bit on the small side, but of course that was 11 weeks ago so a lot could have changed.  I am measuring right on track BUT they said that same crap with Troy too.   I actually have zero faith in my doctor when it comes to predicting baby size so I take it all with a grain of salt.  I look a lot smaller than I looked with either of the boys.  I will get around to updating some belly pictures soon. 

I haven't had too many weird food cravings this time around.  The first few months I was craving soy sauce and hot sauce but that seems to have faded out.  The only thing that even sounds half way appetizing is cereal though most days I have no appetite.  I usually have to make myself eat for the sake of the baby- yet I am manging to pack on the pounds so I must be eating something.  With the boys I could never eat enough!  Wyatt is super active!  Hands down the most active baby of the 3.  If he stays this active he will have no problem keeping up with his brothers and I will be screwed!

I guess I should also mention we are not changing Wyatt's name.  Once we picked the name I started hearing it all over town and I sure don't want a name that is too popular, however Tyler and I can not agree on anything else and Gunnar is DEAD SET that he will have a brother named Wyatt.   So if you know anyone named Wyatt I don't want to hear about it.  If you don't like the name then go kick rocks, its not your baby. 

Completely off the subject, while typing this Troy discovered he could see/yell at his brother through the vents in the living room floor. The two are screaming back and forth to each other.  Welcome to my world.... 

Pumpkin patch

We are having family pictures/maternity pictures taken this Tuesday.  (Yes, I will post some of the pics as soon as we get them).  The pictures are going to be taken up on the south hill by some old barns and overgrown fields.  I love fall and think this background will be PERFECT for us.  Hopefully the boys will coorperate.  We are going to do half the pics with the boys in puffer fall vests and the rest in Unversity of Texas football jerserys.  Hopefully we can get some awesome shots of the boys playing football together and just being boys.  No sense trying to get a formal pose, it will never happpen and its not our "style."  Anyhow as part of the family pictures we are going to bring along some pumpkins.  This sounded like an amazing idea until I actually tried to find 5 pumpkins ranging in size in September.  We did finally find one pumpkin patch that was open on a weekday at greenbluff.  We had to do some serious digging in the fields to find 5 "perfect" ones but we got em!  And by we- I mean Tyler.  He was such a good sport about helping me and cutting all the pumpkins.  Not to mention carrying all the pumpkins and 75 pounds worth of kids back to the store. 
The boys really loved the pumpkin patch, go figure, dirt, bugs, and the outdoors what's not love?!? I have no idea why Troy felt he had to sit down in the dirt for the picture.  T-roy does what T-roy wants!  Whatever I am please that they are both even looking at the camera.  

HOORAY FOR THE BLOG

YAY!  I have finally found the motivation to start the famous blog I have been promising for months now...and by motivation, I mean lack of motivation to do anything more productive with my day.  This blog will have no doubt have spelling errors, grammatical errors and vulgar language.  If you know me, you won't be at all surprised by my "lady-like" speech.  I can't guarantee this is will be funny or even a good blog....but it will be real, it will be honest, and if nothing else it will give you a glimpse into the lives of the Olson House.  My husband and I keep joking that this is the "Olson House: where vaginas go to die."  I am definitely out numbered with a husband, two little boys and one more boy on the way, but I am the Queen of the castle.  So follow along and enjoy...or don't.  Something tells me this blog will be like a train wreak- you know- when you want to look away and you just can't.
