Happy Thanksgiving!

And, here we are. Still no baby. We have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have much to be grateful for. A healthy family for one thing. I have a very dear and precious husband who I love so very much and I can't help but feel mushy as we celebrate our 9th Anniversary today. I think back to 9 years ago and what I was doing at this moment. I was giddy. An hour to go till the wedding. My life ahead of me. Little did I know all we would go through and have yet to experience. 3 precious beautfiul little girls who lite up our lives. I never could have dreamt I'd be so blessed. And, so on this day of Thanksgiving, I am that, very thankful and feeling very blessed for the life I have and the loved ones in my life. I hope that everyone has has a wonderful day. Take time to let your loved ones know what they mean to you. It only takes a minute and it's worth it!!! Life is too short. No regrets. God Bless!

and so we wait

Now the days are numbered. One week until my due date. The baby is very active. She lets me know she is still in there that's for sure. I am having so many mixed emotions, I feel like I should be in an institution or something. I feel crazy. I am so excited and ready for her to be here, but I love being pregant too. This is it. No more babies after this. My body can't handle it and I am not getting any younger!!!!! SO, I am reveling in the glow I guess you could say??? I am really loving my little girls today too. They (especially the oldest) have been so naughty lately and today they were angels. I find them so precious and feel so incredibly blessed to have 2 healthy beautiful little girls. God has blessed us beyond measure. Enough sappy talk. I gotta go make the crib. Love the smell of Dreft!!!!!!!!!!!

Drum roll..........

Had to update quick. Had an ultrasound today and found out the baby is a girl. How exciting!!!!!! We are elated. The baby weighs about 6 pounds and she looks good. Everything measured good and looked good according to the Doctor. I have never had an ultrasound so late in pregnancy and LOVED seeing her. It was amazing. She looks a lot like Bubba in my opinion. So, I can now refer to the baby as "her" instead of "it". I am so happy and the hubby actually is too. We wanted another girl. Everything is going well....now if I could just get through labor.......

No sleeping here

All is well. I am at my folks visiting for the last time before baby. Don't think I'll be traveling anywhere too soon. It is getting uncomfortable just.....being. I love the reason, don't get me wrong, but a run out of breath talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am now to the point where excitement, anticipation, and worrying have set in. I lay in bed awake all night thinking about so many things. Maybe it is preparing me for sleepless nights to come? I wish!! I just hope I can tackle having 3 kids 3 and under. I wish I was a laid back as so many of my friends. I have to seriously work on that. I guess I will be forced to. Well, I guess it is time to gear up for cold weather. I love cool weather but have been spoiled lately I guess. Time to hunker down for winter in Nebraska!!!!! P.S. Have I mentioned the trains that I hear every 15 minutes at our new house? And some of the wisenhimer conductors blow the whistle all through town. That is a steady train whistle for about 5 minutes. Talk about annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is enough to drive a person insane. Or, as my hubby says....."the railroad made me an alcoholic"!!!!!! EEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
