38 weeks!!!

Well, life has been good for the past 2 nights. Sat. night I was having really bad contractions and back spasms but for the past two nights I've slept so well and have been ready to get into action and get ready for this baby!!! There is so much to do and I feel like so little time. Kids are doing well in school. They are still liking it and having fun. Today I'm going to get my Fall decorations out and clean the house hopefully to find my sewing needles so I can sew some blankets for baby. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband who has been my MAJOR supporter the past 9 months. I don't know what I would do without him. :) Anyways,,,, that's about it for now. May put some pictures up soon of my non-growing tummy!

Ohhhhh kids!!!!

 

Sometimes I wonder WHY I even bother with these children???? Maybe because I REALLY just want to have this baby so bad I take an opportunity for them to TOTALLY stress me out. :) No, seriously I love these kids SOOOO dang much and they make me laugh but seriously I wish I could have just got ONE great picture of them! We did go get professional pictures done today though which was fun. Kids did great! Much better experience than the last one that's for sure. I even sprung and got a few maternity pictures done too. Life is good at 36 weeks. Hoping that I can actually write a bit more before I have this baby though. It's CRAZY how time flies.

Labor Day

Today was a VERY good day. Well... Most of it! The weather was soooo wonderful we actually were able to keep the windows opened all day long. I slept in which is always a wonderful thing, Jake mowed the lawn and the kids played their usual games and played outside. We had our official "first date" with some friends from our ward. Let's just say it was probably the most relaxing day we've had in awhile. The kids played WONDERFULLY with their kids and were quiet and happy. It has been nice to meet some new people and I hope they didn't think we were to crazy. Especially me and my brownie droppings... ;) Unfortunately all good things had to come to an end though and we had to leave with a busted door to our mini-van and a screaming child (Sierra) who did not want to leave but left w/ a pretty darn cute bumblebee costume which she doesn't want to take off! But overall we had a great day even great enough to write about I guess. Lots of wonderful things have been happening. My roomate from college had her baby yesterday and a friend from high school had her baby boy today so it really made me look at reality and hurry the heck up and get ready for this baby or ours!!! I am so very anxious, and happy to have another little baby in our home. It doesn't seem real at all since we had the 3 others so close together. I wake up in the middle of the night trying to remember breathing techniques and what I'm supposed to do when the time comes and I totally freak out so sleeping hasn't been that great for me. I have been having nightmares about this baby being a snake head which I know isn't the greatest but I can't really control that now can I!!!! I think tomorrow I will start making a list of things I REALLY need for this baby and get a move on it. I am set on going natural w/ this baby but am crossing my fingers she will come in September. Even if it's the last day! We may have a name but aren't completly set on it yet... Anyways, that's what's up on this fine Labor Day!!!! :)

Dear Baby,,,,

Dear Baby,
Today you were not very nice to me!!!! Sitting on my bladder all day long is SOOO not right. I thought I would be able to go walking through Jewel really quickly JUST to get bread and juice well... NOT SO MUCH! Spent more time peeing in the Jewel restroom instead of running in and out! Let's just hope these next few weeks get better because I'm sick of spending MOST of my time in the restroom!!!
I am SOOOO ready to have this baby now! Although we are still looking for names... Anyone????

34 weeks

Quick pregnancy update....I am now 34 weeks pregnant and am feeling the aches and pains but everything seems to be fine w/ the baby. I did take my glucouse test though and my sugar was high so I need to go back and do a 2 hour test. YUCK!!! Nights are def. the worst for me but Jake has been trying to make me as comfy as possible. I ONLY wake up 3-4 times to go pee at night these days. Other than that I enjoy EVERY moment baby has her foot stretching my right rib and pushing down on my bladder at the same time! She better be a lengthy little lady!!! Still deciding on names.

LOTS AND LOTS OF UPDATES....

Where do I even start??? It has been awhile since I've been able to sit down and blog for awhile. Life has been crazy these days!!!
I'll make it short and sweet though.
June,,, Jake and I celebrated our 10th anniversary and I am so in love with him even more than I was when I first met him. Jake is partner now w/ the other Dr. and so we are very excited about that. Was going to buy the house we were renting but apparently "someone" had other plans for us so we had to start looking elsewhere! Ventured out to New Hampshire for pretty much the whole summer. It was AWESOME having Jake along my side on the way out there and spend a week or two w/ us. Because he had to come home and work his butt off.
July,,, as always had an AWESOME 4th of July. Saw fireworks, swam, ate, enjoyed almost everyday at Lake Nube swimming and spending time w/ Mimi and fam. Went to Hampton Beach again this time w/ mimi and had a blast. The water as usual was freezing but we loved it anyways.
August,,, came home to a new house and LOVING it! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who can provide, move, and make my life as happy as possible. He came home packed EVERYTHING up and moved us to a cute little house in a AWESOME neighborhood. I stayed in New Hampshire only because I felt like I was useless being pregnant and the kids would only be in his way. It all happend very well and I have no regrets! We worked everything out being so far apart which made our relationship even better! We certainly downsized but I'm happier than I have ever been before. I guess I'm just into older houses and not the ginormous cookie cutter houses that everyone lives in these days. The only thing I complain about is there is no fence, basement, and the bathroom is way to confusing... ALL 3 kids will be returning to school this week. EVEN Sierra who will be attending preschool for a few hours so I think life will get better after that happens. We are trying to cut out on a lot of expenses too so it's been crazy w/ only internet and no cable...

Glorious Garden!!!

 

Well, I guess I've got it! Not sure how but apparently I've got the green thumb! Our Squash and Zucchini plants are now as high as the chicken wire. The beets have been lost, beans, not sure where those went and heaven knows where everything else is!!! I guess I went a bit crazy planting and thinking I had enough space. Guess we will be making a bigger garden next year!!! :)
