59 days


There are 59 days (or less) until Baby Pax is being evicted-(not by my wishes). I. am. freaking. out. Three. Three kids. I keep having scenarios go through my mind of public outings. You know, the ones where I'm in Wal*mart with three children attempting to make it out of the store alive. Or the really scary situations where I will have to cross a road or something with three children while toting around a diaper/pull up/extra clothes bag-while holding a 4 and 2 year olds hands....while carrying a baby.

Or the even scarier situations...like going to the park with three children. I'll be alternating between pushing someone on the tire swing and helping someone climb up the rock wall and making sure someone keeps their clothes on. Ahem.

I'm honestly very nervous about having three children. I've just gotten into the groove with two...almost. Just when you think you're in the groove, they like to show you up and change. I'm overwhelmingly excited about meeting this little baby, but this nervousness is making me....nervous!

It's the final countdown and I am looking forward to newborn diapers (pampers of course-oh! How they smell divine!), tiny clothes and socks, Chi and Haly to meet their brother or sister and so much more. I can't wait to see this little baby for the first time. I'm already in love with every little kick (except the rib and bladder shots) and hiccup. I can't wait for Donovan to be a daddy again. He's such a great daddy. The best, I think.

I'm extremely nervous about the C-Section. I know I've been through it once and recovered quite well, but there's just something about it, maybe the being cut in half while in the position of a crusifixtion...that makes me so entirely freaked out :)

So. 59 days. Until we are the parents of three children. I can't wait!


This is what our life has come to :) A family of Five!

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Random thought

Image
I have been thinking a lot recently about my husband. It seems as life gets busier with school, work, kids....life-that my appreciation for him gets put aside. It's tough to think about all the good he really does when I am overwhelmed or stressed out because we are so rushed or so busy. It seems like even though I am home all day, I can't wait to see him and spend time with him, but frequent plans are made otherwise. I act unappreciative and not understanding. I become selfish and am over taken with my own emotions. More recently, as my spiritual life has been growing, I've realized that....it's kind of NOT all about me :) I am not here to be served by my kids, my husband or anyone else for that matter. I am here to serve. I am here to be the best wife and mother possible that God has allowed me to be. My life is so full of blessing. I am so loved and taken care of yet sometimes I lose sight of this and get caught up in the moment. It's not fair to those around me ...
