Why I Haven't Been Blogging

• 3 weeks, 6 days left
• 12 appointments left
• Nesting done, whole house is organized, decluttered and clean (for now)
• Visited friends (2 days this week)
• Piano lessons done until September
• Leg cramps every night
• Swollen feet and very swollen healing broken leg
• Potty every 10 minutes, literally
• Hurts to move
• Hurts to walk
• Soon to be 5 year old, birthday party to get ready for (we are having her party early, since I will be coming home from the hospital just 2 days before her actual birthday.
• School curriculum ordered and received and half read through and almost ready to start school...I think.
• Having a hard time thinking about school, it's still summer!!
• 3 year old potty trained, but not poopy trained. How do you get that poop smell off your hands, even after washing my hands 3-4 times? "Where does poopy go?" "In the pot." She knows the answer very well, just can't seem to get it there.
• Can't sleep at night
• Still throwing up and gagging especially after my bedtime snack that I'm never hungry for.
• This is why my blogging has lagged, I have been not feeling the greatest, not being the most positive, yet at the same time, feeling very, very blessed because of all of this.
• Healthy baby constantly kicking and moving inside me
• Baby in my arms soon.
• Baptism day soon
• Middle of the night feedings
• Nursing my sweet baby
• Going for walks with a stroller again soon
• Wonderful husband who brings home pizza after a busy appt day, just knowing I am too pooped to cook and do dishes!
• Big sisters and big brother very excited for sweet baby to come out soon!
• NO MORE DOCTORS SOON
• Baby in my arms soon

Any Guesses?

Can anyone guess who's mailbox this is? You never know when the crazy blogging lady with a camera will be driving by your mailbox...no one is safe. Isn't it a cool one though? It's some kind of barrel thing. I think it's great!

I Wonder...

Why, on the day I pray specifically for patience and love and joy for one child, I am full of impatience for another child?

It's Official!

I can no longer paint my toes.

My Sweet Boy

My sweet boy, Jedi
Who, wouldn't forget to take Jesus with camping but wanted him to stay and protect us girls for his Canada trip!

His Grandpa asked his girl cousin (his age) if she missed her twin little sisters (age 5). She responded "No Way!!" (She is in Canada fishing too)

When Grandpa asked Jedi, if he missed his 3 little sisters, he responded, sadly and honestly, "Yes, I miss them a lot!"

Tonight on the phone, I asked him if he was having fun and he said "yeah, but I really really miss you guys!"


I'm so thankful to have such a sensitive and sweet little boy and hope he stays that way forever!
We all miss you too Jedi and can't wait to see you tomorrow night!




***Jedi and daddy are fishing in Canada with Grandpa and Grandma and my husband's brother and his daughter. (and will soon be home!)

Missing My Boys!

My boys left Sunday for Canada (about 9 hours away) fishing! I am really missing them. This is Jedi's first big fishing trip with daddy and Grandpa and Grandma. Every year, my husband's dad takes him fishing in Canada. They called last night and I could just tell in Jedi's voice how much fun he was having. It was great to hear him so excited! He caught the most Northerns and the biggest (30 inches).


I, on the other hand, am exhausted with the girlies. They are very busy and Jedi is not here to play with them. Daddy gave Ballerina Rosie instructions to order me to lay down and rest. She seems to only tell me this though when I am cooking or eating or giving baths!!


Babycakes is pretty cute on the phone. "Ummm, daddy, are lou home?" "Ummmm, daddy, jus say one more thing" "Uh, are lou gonna come home? Lou not home right?"


The best thing was hearing Ballerina Rosie and Mary telling Jedi that they loved him and really missed him, and calling him the "ruler of fish"!


They will be home Friday, I can't wait. We miss them so much!

(So much for Wordless Wednesday, I told you, I cannot do it!)
