due date

I had an ultrasound last week and the baby did not cooperate, so we are going to be surprised again. The due date has changed and is now December 4th. That is the hubby's twin sisters birthdays so that would be very cool! Not much else new. All is well. We had a great vacation and miss everyone. It was however good to get home and sleep in our own beds in our own rooms. Life is precious. Value every minute you have. Time goes too fast. Before you know it the kids are gone and the house is quiet. Much love to all my friends.

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Okay, so now here we are in Texas. We arrived yesterday afternoon to high winds and high heat and high humidity(to a Northerner!) My sister in laws house is gorgeous and the kids are dolls. All 5 kids are having so much fun playing together and E is having a great time playing with the neighbor girl who is such a sweety and looks like a million bucks. Hopefully this trip doesn't end up with us moving here. It would be wonderful and scarey at the same time. I know the hubby would LOVE it. We love his sis so much and get along so well. Only God knows our future and we'll take what comes. Until next time. I hope we don't blow away.

Southern Living

Well, we made it. After a stop in St. Jo, Mo. we headed on to Shreveport. We arrived safe and sound and with little incidents. The girls were pretty good. They are having fun at G-ma Beth's and Grandad's house. They have an immaculate back yard with tons of bugs. We saw a little frog on the window Saturday night and a chameleon yesterday on the screen. They have a sunroom to take in the beautiful sights. We went to the boardwalk and walked along the Red River this morning. It was hot, but fun. We will go boating tomorrow and then I think off to Texas. It is Hot, Hot, Hot, but we are enjoying time spent with family we never see. Hope this finds everyone well. Until next time ya'll!!!!!

3 Days and counting

Well, 3 days until the big trip. We leave Saturday for Louisiana and then leave sometime during the week for Texas. We are looking forward to it. E is excited to see Grandma Beth and the hubby is looking forward to finally eating some GOOD southern cooking. Ahhhh grits and gumbo!!!!!! I love the food his mom cooks. YUM!!!!!! Last weekend we went to the zoo and had a blast. The kids were so good and had a great time. We visited friends too and had so much fun. This past Sunday we all went to church together as a family. Then, later that day, we went to a local park for a trail ride/walk and fishing for Daddy and our Church hosted it all. Later we all grubbed on hot dogs, salads, and brownies/bars. Fun was had by all and it was a great day. It was great having Daddy join us at church. E starts preschool this fall at a church in town and we may start attending there for Daddy's comfort and for E to make new friends. It would be wonderful to go to church every Sunday as a family. Not much else new here with us. We are just enjoying life and I am stressing occasionally with 2 toddlers that don't listen!!!!!!!!!! Ahhh life. Gotta love it. Say a prayer as we travel. It will be about 14 hours if we drive straight through. Gotta run.
Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growing and growing??

Well, all is well here. Not much new. The hubby and I are counting the days until vacation. We are going to see his folks in Louisiana for a few days (maybe 2 if they can stand the kids), and then to Texas to stay with his sister and her family for a week or more. We always have so much fun with them and can't wait to have some down time with fun family members! I wish we lived closer for sure!!!!! They have a 9 yr. old boy and 5 yr. old and 1 yr. old girls. Just adorable and I LOVE their Southern accents! We leave May 31st. and I am hoping the girls will travel well. We went to Memphis last summer and the girls dealt with the long trip really well. A portable DVD player sure helps!!!
Well, I am officially at 12 weeks. Will be 13 on Friday. I am feeling a little "bloated". The waistline is gone and I am going to have to wear Maternity clothes, pants anyway. It sure came fast. Oh well. I am excited to start feeling the baby move. That is something I LOVE about pregnancy!!!!!!!! Well, I must go for now. Hope to update sometime next week. I have my first official Dr.'s appt. Monday morn.

yet another cold?

So, I have yet another cold. Or, horrible allergies. Seems to be the case for a lot of people around here. At least I'm not upchucking. I am lucky in that sense. Sorry to be blunt. I have been very fortunate in all my pregnancies. I feel nausea but never worse than that. Maybe extreme fatigue but all is manageable. Right now we are at my folks and trying to get the kids entertained. They are feeling cabin fever big time. We are so ready for summer to play outside. Ugh!!! I gotta go get my 3 year old out of my hair. Oh, we had a birthday party for Bubba last night. Fun was had by all. Hard to believe she is 2 already. She is a light in our lives. So cute and so much fun. Hope all is well with everyone. Until next time.

Third times a charm!!!?!

Gee, I didn't think my last entry would be a "thing to make you go HMMM??" I think Jen, you are the only one that reads this. And I wanted to wait longer, but I can't anymore. Since you're at the computer reading this, I know you're sitting so here goes. Somewhere around November 23rd Bubba is going to be a big sister and E is getting another younger sibling. We are adding one more to our wonderful offspring. I found out Sunday, March 30th and went to the Dr. last Monday. They said there is no doubt I am pregnant. Never thought I'd being saying that again. I do believe it is time for the Mister to go in for a snip snip!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I am shocked, ecstatic, elated and suprised. If I could skip the terrible two's and three's I'd have about a dozen babies!!!!!!!!!! I am just a little thrown off because I have been having such trouble with E and listening and following rules etc. EEESSHH! However, I have always wanted kids and when the hubby and I got married and started trying for kids 6months later, who would have thought it would take 4 years and 1 miscarriage until we were blessed with one baby and now to be blessed with 3????!!!!!!!! I praise and thank God that He has blessed us in this way and am very grateful and humbled. I wish everyone the best. We are getting blown away with terrible wind and weird weather today. Take care and keep me in your prayers. Pray for a healthy baby above all else!!!
Thanks!
