A few days of fun!

Well I have offically been pregnant longer with this baby then any of my other two! Which means she will be bigger to right? BUT as frustrated as it has been. I would be a total liar if I didn't say how grateful I am for some of the experiences this waiting time has brought. we have been to football games, gone on family walks, spent time at the park, had hours of christmas wish listing, and reading. I have developed diffrent and stronger relationships with my two sweeties. It has been a really nice calm before the storm that a sweet new baby brings! I love my children and husband SO much I just can't belivie how much the Lord has blessed our lives these last few weeks! It might even make the streach marks on my tummy seem not that bad. SO even though I wake up each morning a little discouraged that I still have a huge tummy and no baby, I really can't say I would want to change anything that we have been able to do these last two weeks.....hopefully I can remember this tommorow! =)

So we finally finnished the girls room! is it every thing I dreamed? WELL lets just say the vision I started with was diffrent then the end result, HOWEVER the kids participated in every ounce of it. Olivia was the decider of the bed set, they painted the letters and then Jackson did the gliter on the wings. So they helped with every part of putting it together. it has been fun.....now if only I had a little baby to complete the room...............

Its about time

My whole pregnancy I have had people ask for pictures, but really who wants to take a picture of their big self?? I know some women relish the time of pregnancy- but as you all know- I kind of don't, I just feel yucky and emotional for 9 1/2 months! ANYWAY, I decided since Adriana has not made her apperance yet maybe she would appreciate a documented glimpse into how I looked when she was in my belly. here you are, don't laugh to hard, I had Jack take the pictures for me. I guess he didn't do to bad for a three year old. =)

I am not annoyed or anything......

Last night after over two hours of contractions every three minutes apart we went and checked into the hospital. dropped the kids off at grandmas and headed in. WELL, I am dialated to a 3, still 80% effaced and she is down low. but after an hour and a half they decided to send me home and let me come back if I needed to. Well Mike prayed I would get some sleep ( I haven't slept decent in a while now and its REALLY wearing on me) So I got sleep. This morning I feel discouraged and tired and sick to my sick- almost flu like sick. While I am only 37 weeks, I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER. because I was on high alert and bed rest for so long that now I am just ready to be done, even thoguh I know she could wait up to three weeks still! ahhh! anyway. just thought you all would want the update, she is still in the belly and who knows when its all gonna go down!

A glimpse into the near future

I have always know Olivia would be a GREAT big sister, today we had a friend come over with her 3 month old baby, Olivia showed off her future big sister skills. she wiped spit up, learned about nursing, played with toys and the baby and of course held her. it was really cute and lots of fun to see what a great big sister Olivia is going to be!

Good way to live...

Today as I was walking back from dropping yaya off I over heard a mom say to another mom. "so yeah no one is getting their personal calenders this year, its a calendar for them or top raman for us- things really are that bad for us right now."
I could not help but think about how in these times it seems every one is struggling somehow...and then I heard her say:
"but you know what we are healthy and have each other so I guess top raman is o.k"
She is right- as long as we have each other, what else matters?

I have always wanted to do this......

Yes it may be cheezy But ever since the day I was married and knew eventually I would have children I have been excited to buy my " girls" matching christmas dresses. Today I fianally got them! yes Olivia and Adriana have matching dresses!! I would post pictures but it will be more fun with the girls inthem so ya'll will just have to wait until december! but yes I went shopping today, maybe baby will come tonight? thats how the last two came into this world.
