Note to self:

Don't tell my wonderful daughter to remind me to clean out the cupboards...because at the end of the day when I am tired, don't feel good, just trying to finish cleaning up the kitchen, feeling somewhat satisfied with what I DID get accomplished today she opens the cupboards and says, "These cupboards are a mess!! Why didn't you clean them today?"

She really does mean well. And when it comes right down to it, she will be right there offering to help! Love my little organizer!

30 Weeks and counting...I thought!

I finally hit 30 weeks! It seems like it's down hill from here, and he will be here before we know it. Or at least before we are ready for him! I just had my 2nd ultrasound this morning and they confirmed that he is still a very healthy, active little boy! He weighs just over 3 pounds, and growing fast. Actually faster than we thought. He is measuring bigger than my original due date so he is now expected to deliver on April 8th!! That means 10 less days to come up with a name for this child!!! The whole naming thing is so hard for me. I stress about it (not that it helps :)) but then one day it just comes to me. I just can't wait, and hope it comes sooner than later! The latest pictures of the boy. A side profile and a face picture. He looks like he has cheeks!!
So 9 weeks to go and here are my top 9 things I'm feeling:
#9: Can't wait to hold him in my arms and feel his little squeezes.
#8: So NOT looking forward to being up all night.
#7: How am I going to go anywhere? I have two hands and they seem full already how am I going to handle a third one in the mix??
#6: I can't wait to see how his personality fits into our family.
#5: Looking forward to getting back in shape...somewhat at least!!
#4: Be able to eat and not be sick or have heartburn!
#3: Looking forward to rock-a-bye time!
#2: Who is going to want to babysit?? It's not just one or two kids...it's going to be 3 now! Will I ever get to have time alone or get to go on a date again??
#1: Can't wait to feel the sweetest spirit in our home that is so fresh from heaven!

There you have it my emotional roller coaster! And yes, I'm crying just thinking about it!! :)
