Beckham is on his second week of preschool. He seems to be enjoying himself and is adjusting well. Marley and I have been able to get into a routine after we drop Beckham of at 9. We go jogging, and walking, depending on what Baby Lincoln is doing in my uterus. Some days it feels fine to jog, and other days it feels like he's going to fall right out of me on the sidewalk. On those days we walk. Even with number three, I am amazed at the toll being pregnant takes on your body. Thanks Lizzie for telling it like it is.
Good thing we get cute babies when it's over. I remember a time when I was living with my sister and her family after I returned home from serving a mission. I walked into her room as she was getting out of the shower, and I got a peek at her stomach and the (sorry Lissa) stretch marks that were a result of her 3 kiddos. I told her never wanted that to happen to my body. She smiled and said, "but I have 3 beautiful babies, and it's worth it." Well, I too have stretch marks, and as Nate and I were laughing about yesterday, my butt is getting bigger every week, and I still have 15 to go. Yikes!!!!
Back to Marley and Mom time. After the jog, we go run whatever errands I need to run, Target, Costco, Library etc. We get a drink, she falls asleep, and we go pick Beckham up at noon. He goes to school Monday through Thursday. I think I'm liking the new routine. The mornings can go by VERY slow though since the kids are up at 5:30 on the dot.
I just read this and was very touched. Design Mom is always sharing lovely baby/mom stories from her readers.
A clip of Becks and Marley playing SO well the other day. I have to remind myself of this since they seem to be fighting all the time. Sorry it's sideways.

I'm so impressed that you jog while pregnant...
I likes hearing about your day.
Did I miss somewhere that you found out you were having a boy and picked a name out? Either way - love the name choice. It's on my top list of boy names!
And it sounds like a fabulous schedule of preschool Monday-Thursday!
Amen sista.
What is it about number 3? I swear my body feels 10 years older this time around. I can't believe you jog sometimes. It's always around 7 months where my body won't let me work out anymore. Contractions like crazy. I'm so happy for you that Beckham will go to p.school. We're still afraid Tanner is going to refuse to go to Kinder next year.
If you ever get bored and need to get away, please come out and visit. I'd love to see you.
I noticed with this last pregnancy that I felt so much more run down physically than with the others. I did jog, but I stopped at about the fifth month rather than the seventh like the others and since we don't have a gym membership anymore...I have gone way too long without working out. But now that Kaci's here I already feel like I can start running again and can't wait. I love reading your blog and seeing your little cuties. Hopefully one day we'll get to introduce our yerekhaner. :) Love ya!
Couldn't see the video but I'm sure it was great. And I am jealous of your MOn-thurs preschool days for Beckham. Cade's tues and thurs and it just seems like not enough for me....although it's enough for him. he's learning some REALLY CRAPPY things from kids at school and it makes me SO MAD! I thought about pulling him out altogether yesterday but reminded myself that I can't run away from it...I need to teach through and hope he brings back the sweet Cade I've raised him to be. Ugh, you'll have to let me know if you see any behavior changes with Becks after he's been there for a while... hope not though. good luck!
You are always on the go. I can't get over it.
All Marley needs is a quick nap? Seriously? Wow!
You do have cute kids! Don't worry, your butt will shrink back in like a week.
