Thursday is the BIG day... I will be induced at 8am in the morning. We get to finally meet our new little girl!
Please keep us and the boys in your prayers...
1. healthy delivery, baby and mama
2. boys will transition well with new baby
3. good rest & sleep the next few days (for all of us)
4. Joel's energy... it could be a long day of waiting and sitting
5. labor will progress quickly and not be too drawn out (hopefully with a third it should be a piece of cake!)
6. that the boys will do well having a "slumber party" with their friends (they have never slept away from us before)
We'll keep you updated! :)

31st Birthday

So, this is what I look like on my 31st Birthday. Hmmm... not sure how I feel about that!

38 Weeks Pregnant

Family

We met Joel's mom & dad and grandparents last night for dinner at Macaroni Grill... YUM! We had a great visit and wish we saw them more often...

38 Weeks and Counting!

Better Than Watching TV...

New Tire Swing

An attempt to get over Parker's fear of swings...

Nesting

I feel like I have been nesting the entire 37 weeks I have been pregnant with this baby... I have reorganized the boy's clothes/closet, bookshelf, toys and game corner multiple times. CHECK. I decided it was time to organize my digital pictures from 2003 - present and get them off my computer and on to an external drive. CHECK. We've set up the crib (CHECK) and the changing table (CHECK). I have filled the changing table with necessities (CHECK), washed the crib bedding (CHECK) and washed all the NB, 0-3 mo. clothes I have. CHECK. Next, was to go through all my bins of baby accessories (toys, swing, excersaucer etc.) and figure out what was still decent enough to use a third time. So, with that said, I dumped all the baby toys in the sink and let the boys wash them... cheap labor, really. They loved it and had no idea they were helping with chores. As a "thank you" they got to do an Easter craft. Which, selfishly on my part just kept them busy for 40 minutes while I made dinner. :) We moms are sneaky...

Easter Craft- decorating foam eggs

Blog Discontentment...

I have been changing my blog backgrounds a zillion times a week. I don't really like any of them. Is this pregnancy or what? UGH...

Our Last Week...

My blogging is somewhat random... no theme or event. I just post a few recent pictures that I like and figure I would explain them...

Landon's Western Days at AWANA

36 Weeks and counting!

My parents were up for a night while Joel was out of town...

the boys had a great visit with them!

Parker and Papadad playing "Perfection"


Landon's new "toy"- coin collector/changer.

He manages to suck all the coins out of your wallet-

amazing how that happens!

Parker's new "toy"- baseball gear.

Unfortunately, he is left handed and we bought him the wrong glove...
