waiting...

Me, today at 38 and a half weeks.

(Not that I'm counting or anything.)

I am tired. I am in pain. I am wanting to meet this baby already! Trying not to be a grump, but seriously, that's really hard. (hee hee)

The baby's room is almost done and it's looking super-cute...I'll share pictures as soon as I'm up to it. Until then, I'll be here waiting!

just a few...

Okay, I'm really not excited to share these, so let's just get this over with! On Saturday morning, I quickly had my hubby snap some pictures of me...here I am at 33 weeks. We kept it simple as I tried to get some pictures of the girls, too, and well, you know...getting everyone ready and happy is no easy task! And as soon as I got in front of the camera I realized that I really didn't want my picture taken at all...but we got a few and now I can say that maternity photos for moi are officially done!

And my favorite...

...me and my girls. It is so hard to believe that in a month or so we'll have another little baby around here. And not just a baby...a BOY baby! What??? I still have that fear that it's going to be a girl after all the cute boy stuff I've bought...so we'll see! Hee hee! (wouldn't that be a good story to tell!)

It's crazy to think that I'm nearing the end of this pregnancy. It's been a roller-coaster ride from the beginning, but when all is said and done, I just hope and pray for a happy and healthy baby. (boy OR girl...wink!) I'm feeling him kick kick kick as I type, and I'm just reminded what a miracle this whole process is...that after all the sickness, worry, tiredness, discomfort, etc, etc, etc...it's the reward at the end that makes it all worth it. I'm so lucky and blessed and I just hope I can DO this...I can do this, right? (heehee)

Anyways, enough from me. I'll share photos that I took of the girls soon. Like I said, it was no easy task...everyone was crying at some point. Oh, good times!!

little miracles

Wow.



Another month gone by with almost no blogging. Yikes. My husband even suggested to me the other day that I update my blog because it's been so long. What is happening to me? Well, I'll ya. It's called being pregnant. (haha)



Before I go any further, thank you soooooo much to everyone for all of your sweet comments and words of encouragement! It's been an overwhelming couple of months to say the least, so it was nice to read through all of your congratulations. Thank you! Some days it feels totally normal that I'm pregnant, and then other days I still have those moments of, "What?!!?? Is this really happening??" It has been a crazy time. Pregnancy is not my favorite thing. Now, when I say that, it doesn't mean I'm not grateful...I know there are many out there who would give anything to be pregnant...it is just a really hard time for me. Constantly being sick takes it's toll...and I've especially felt the weight of that this time around while trying to take care of 3 little ones as well as myself. Let's just say that my husband is a lifesaver and the most patient guy ever!! He does way more than his fair share around here, so we are very very lucky girls!! We've had many a laugh about our situation right now...sometimes it's just easier to laugh about it all!



While browsing through the blogging world yesterday while KK was sleeping, I came across this amazing video. You must watch it....it made me cry, I admit. I've been so focused on getting through being sick and just asking myself the constant question, "Can I really take care of 4 children?" that I needed to be reminded of the absolute miracle that having a baby is. I loved all of my hospital experiances and remember the birth of each of my daughters perfectly. It is hard to believe that we'll be having another baby in May, but after watching that video and looking at these pictures of my own precious little newborns, it is giving me something to look forward to.

What a miracle these little babies are. Need I say more?
