Less than 20 days to go.

Abigel the Diaper Caper

I have been trying to not count days, but with that cute Ticker, who can help it?

Baby is sitting transverse, and I have been working on moving him into the right position, HE is stubborn though. Just like Zeke, At east this time I have found an awesome Dr. who can fix me up, she does acupuncture and is wonderful.

I spent the day shopping with Sasha yesterday, we had lots of fun, we even got our hair cut! She got a fun fun do- I was jealous, but I promised Wes I would not go short again for a while.... Maybe after my first marathon that will be my motivation!

I have a Bazillion things I want to get done, the family room needs to be painted and trimmed, then I can put the furniture back, the kids rooms are all a mess because the stuff from the family room needed to be emptied. So as soon as I get a burst of Super powers, I will finish the major project (aka family room) and maybe be able to rest my mind.

I want to prepare 50 frozen meals to use after all my help has gone. (Feb 19th.)
I need to finish laundry
Mop Floors
Scour bathroom
Take family pictures
Prepare baby announcement

It would be so blessed to have the family room done before my mom comes to visit. (Feb 9th) to have a place to send the kids and not destroy their bedrooms!

OK so now i am off to see if i can hunt down that motivation... energy... send some my way if you read this!

A post, jst to post

I have no coherent thoughts, and I am weighed down with pain from being 4 weeks from delivery, I sit in the "Ugly" chair most of the day, because when I try to move out of it, I am all frozen in the hips and back, it is so painful! It takes me 4 steps before I can straighten out and stand upright,

I saw the blessed Chiropractor today, she is wonderful! and has a gift for getting me out of pain, can you believe it has been a whole year since I have made it in to see her (for me) I need to do it at least once a month, when I leave her office I feel not only better in the bones, but she makes me laugh too!

Rubi asked me if she was a Doctor or a friend, since we were laughing so heard Rubi heard it from the waiting room, She is both, I really like her, and appreciate her insight, next time I will not wait so long to see her...

next Rubi and Zeke & I went to Wal Mart, my Razr phone is broken (surprise surprise,) it just stopped taking a charge, and of course Tmobile will not replace it, so I have to figure it out.

4 weeks away from Delivery day (D-Day) I am making the mental preparations for the labor and delivery, and look forward to sharing the details with you!

Another Great Christmas Surprise!!!

I got a Christmas Card in the mail today.



It was from our good friends the ARNOLD'S in AZ. Not only did I get an adorable and fun photo, but I got a highly coveted DVD.

I was so stunned it brought tears to my eyes!

THANKS MARLA you are awesome! I am so blessed to be a friend of your family and I consider it a great compliment that you thought to send this gift to me. I will treasure it and use it up (probably wear it out) It is on target to be my Sabbath Video. Probably on a continuous loop. I LOVE IT!!!

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.

We also had a fun filled week belated Holiday fun with Wes, he arrived home from work a couple days early (THANKS Bruce Tweto at Hageland, he takes good care of us!)
So Wes arrived home, took a nap and the party started at 6, the Grove family arrived, and soon after the Gardner's. We had lasagna, chips, dip, blueberry pie (Madi made it) tons & tons of food, and fun, we played games Apples to Apples, and Man Bites Dog, we played Yahtzee, and National Geographic Geography Pursuit. WHAT FUN! thanks to all who came and made this a great New Years eve.
The next morning we extended the festivities and the Groves were here for Breakfast, we made waffles (it took us almost 2 hours!) and then the kids cleaned up while we lounged on the couch, visited and played a few more games. 48 hours of partying. My kind of holiday!!!

Family Fun,

This maybe as close as I get for a family photo this year. so enjoy!
