It was just before nap/quiet time and Emily was going potty and "poo". (I'm assuming mostly parents are reading this so you know how frank these discussions are with our young ones).
Emily said, "Mom why is my poop so tough coming out today?"
I answered, "I don't know honey" (the customary response when Mommy is too tired to properly answer)
Emily, "But I've been eating lots and lots of vegetables so it shouldn't be."
Me, "I know honey, sometimes it can still be tough."
Emily, "Jesus, why is my poop being so tough to come out when I've been eating my vegetables?"
Emily waits for a few seconds and then looks up at me and in a hushed whisper says, "What did He say Mom?"

Time flies!
Each pregnancy is certainly different! Emily in the womb was a baby that moved and moved and moved! I would lay down at night and seriously watch my belly expand as she moved from one side to the other - I never knew your skin could stretch that much! Henry would always laugh and say she was practicing some martial arts or something. Katie was a very gentle baby in the womb - the kind where you did have to go lay down and do kick counts to make sure she was ok. This baby...is very strong. There is no denying when he decides to move! He is somewhere in between the two as far as activeness.
Perhaps with this pregnancy I have appreciated time more than ever! With the first two, the 20 week mark hit and I was so happy that the pregnancy was half over. By 28 weeks (I'm currently 28 weeks) I was ready to have the baby NOW - not because I was so uncomfortable but because I couldn't wait to meet the new little bundle. It would be safe to assume I struggle with patience! ;) With this pregnancy I am really enjoying every stage. I am not feeling rushed. I know that in a few short months we will meet face to face and life will change in a way that I don't feel I can prepare for. I am definitely nervous about having 3, so maybe keeping one safely tucked inside is something I can truly appreciate! :)
On a side note...and to go with the complete randomness of my thoughts...Mom got a swingset on Freecycle today! It is in very good condition, with 2 swings, a hangy bar (what, you want a more technical term?!), a very low teeter totter (I hate teeter totters having got thrown from a few when I was younger), and a small slide! We have it set up at Mom & Dad's house right now. The 12ft trampoline that she found last year with a "free" sign on it a few driveways down from there's will be at our house for the girls. Pretty spoiled kids we have - and all for the cost of...well the gas to pick it up I suppose!

I had better write something soon!!!
Or a year will have passed without updating this darn blog!
I keep telling myself I need to sit down and do a lengthy update so everyone knows exactly where we are and what we are doing. And yet the thought of such a task leads me away to do other tasks...anything but a lengthy update! So finally I've just said "pa-tooey!" (yep, "patooey!") and decided to write what I'd much rather write about...funny things my kids do and say! :)
This afternoon I unpacked one of our few remaining boxes and left it out for the girls to play with. According to Emily on the way to school this morning, "we've lived here for a long long long time (uh Em...only 4 1/2 months), when are we going to move again?". So playing in a box is something they haven't been able to do for a long long long time. Anyways, they were immediately enthralled by said box. They were both hiding in it, taking turns hiding in it, etc. But by far the best? Playing "jack in the box" with it! One of them would hide in it while the other one would turn a pretend crank and sing "pop goes the weasel!" So funny! The things they come up with!
Life in the Chung household is never dull. And to think in a few short months another one will bless this house (that we've lived in for a long long long time). I can't imagine what life will be like then! My turn to hide in the box!
