Water weight gain

Third pregnancy...yeah, I've done this before.  So far, this pregnancy is a little more difficult than the last.  It's not like I feel sicker.  I never threw up with any of them and I barely had morning sickness with the first, but this one feels so heavy.  He's so low in my belly that it's hard to know what I'm feeling there.  Is it gas, pee, baby?  I'm barely 25 weeks and I'm already having Braxton Hicks contractions.  It's all normal, but damn, is it uncomfortable.  Today, my tummy feels so big....ugh....

A couple seemingly random things

Obviously, I'm really bad at keeping up with posting.  I did okay for awhile, but then with work, school, kids, moving...I've just been too busy.  Today I wanted to share two things in particular.  First thing is that I got the idea that I should get a wireless controller for my gamecube since my son won't let anyone plug a cord in without trying to grab and chew it.  Ebay sucks, right?  We all know this.  I prefer using Amazon because the shipping cost is almost always the same.  You are also supposed to have items in a certain condition to match what they list as a sellable sku.  Anyway, ebay was cheaper.  I put a bid in, got outbid, put in another max bid and ended up winning with barely more than my previous max bid.  Man, do I feel like a winner.  The silly thing is I'm still paying for my prize, I just won the chance to pay less than someone else and get the item in question.  Very exciting stuff.

Second thing, my son that is in utero has been very active for the past few days.  It's as if seeing him and finding out what he's going to be gave him license to kick the shit out of my belly.  Don't get me wrong, I love knowing that he's active and assumedly healthy (at least, he was for the ultrasound as far as we could tell), but damn.  It's pretty uncomfortable.  That coupled with some second trimester morning sickness....pretty unpleasant.  On the bright side, my other son, the one that has been born and can now run around, is napping...yay.
