We receive passive aggressive comments from people all the time about Olivia using binkies. "Isn't she too old for those?" "Won't it ruin her teeth?" "I can't understand her with that binky in her mouth". Well, we were not ready to fight the battle of getting rid of the binkies. She is stubborn and we just did not have the energy.
We did decided that were not going to replace the binkies as they broke or disappeared. We have been down to our last one for a few weeks now and she has chewed it pretty well. Well.... last night she called for me from her bed and she finally chewed through it! I was actually sad for her. She asked for the baby binky in the living room (one that Lincoln received at his shower). I told her I would look (NOT) and bring it to her if I found it. She was already half asleep so she fell asleep pretty easily. I am not going to lie. I texted my sisters that I wanted to go buy her more binkies today. They told me not to. :-( I response was that I would have to admit that she is growing up and I am not ready for that at all! She is MY BABY!
Tonight she put up a fight as we were getting ready for bed. This was the true test as to whether she will fall asleep at night without it. I finally got her down at about 8:30. She called me in at one time to find a horse that she was sleeping with that got tangled in the blankets. I went in at about 9:20 and she sat up in her bed :/ Hopefully she will be asleep soon! I know that she doesn't use a binky for naps at school, but she has always had one at home for naps and bedtime. We used it in the car too for when she was having tired meltdowns. I guess we have to let her grow up :-(
It will be interesting to see if she tries to steal Lincoln's binkies. It was so cute and funny at the baby shower; whenever we pulled out binkies from a gift she would say, "Oooo! I love my binkies!" while hugging them <3 Goof!

I have been dealing with back pain for a few months now. I have been seeing a chiropractor twice a week. I have considered physical therapy to help with the pain. Last week, my chiropractor used me as a guinea pig for a quick test. He recommended that I get a Sciatica Lumbar & Hip Compression Brace - Sacroiliac Joint Support & Lower Back Pain Relief. While I wait for its arrival tomorrow, he loaned me a back brace that I wear low on my back. I have NEVER been more excited to just be normal pregnant uncomfortable!!I cannot wait for the thinner belt to get here. I may be able to wait until closer to my due date for Lincoln now. Lately I have been telling people that he can come out any time now and I would greatly appreciate it :-D
I also feel that I am at the point in my pregnancy where any day I will wake up with my stomach three inches farther out and stretch marks. There is no more room for him in there! Some days he is definitely sitting very low. Today I felt like I was going to pop as I walked around work. I am definitely not one of those ladies who enjoys being pregnant... I enjoy the cuddles when the little one is finally here.
Since my back has been feeling better, I have definitely been in the mood to nest! I need to get rid of a lot of things, prep the kids' room (kinda weird to day), and clean, clean, clean!
