32 Weeks

Wow...time is FLYING! This past week has been SO wonderful! My dear friend, Riley threw me a baby shower last Saturday and it was absolutely AMAZING! Since we THOUGHT we were done having kids..we had gotten rid of pretty much everything! I can't believe what cute things there are out there now! So many new accessories and designs since 7 years ago! Yesterday I took the time to hang up all the adorable outfits that all our friends and family so generously gave to us. Sure makes the excitement that much stronger! I am so in love with all the bows, it just may make me CRAZY! ;)

Not only was my shower great for receiving wonderful gifts, but I also had the chance to visit with so many of my very dear friends. Since I am such a social person...that is something I truly treasure and look forward to! I am truly blessed with all the wonderful people around me!

Only 6 1/2 more weeks to fully prepare for this new chapter in our lives. I feel like I'm on the right path of becoming prepared and I'm just trying to keep myself busy to help pass the time. I can't wait to hold my sweet little spirit in my arms! The last few days I have started into a little bit of heartburn. I have heard that lots of hair on a baby can cause this...so I am hoping this is the very reason for all the madness!

I am truly grateful for so many things right now! My kids have all been so amazing with helping me out when needed and I really could not have asked for a more understanding and helpful husband than Clint! I love where we live and our neighbors are truly amazing. I am grateful for my family and for the love and concern they share. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for this time of my life I am at. What more could I ask for?

30 Weeks Pregnant

I can't believe there is only 10 more weeks til I'm due!! WOW! Things have changed A LOT! I am feeling much better...sick wise. Now for the uncomfort, oh joys. My tummy has REALLY grown, causing my sleep at night somewhat non existent. However...since baby is getting bigger, her movements are MUCH more noticeable and oh so special. It is so cool when she shifts and my entire belly moves around with her. I am loving her little hiccups as well, since she does get them quite often. Last night she had them twice and so she sure moves when she gets them...so, needless to say, she did keep me awake most of the night. Just preparing me, right?

We have now fully moved the sign business home, which has been FABULOUS! No regrets there! I am still doing a few smaller jobs...but for the most part it has given me opportunity to rest when needed...and believe me, it has been NEEDED!

Today is Valentines Day. It has been such a special day, starting out with Cinnamon Rolls and Strawberry Milk. Then of course the little "love" packages we gave to the kids. Then Clint surprised me on his lunch break with some BEAUTIFUL flowers and chocolate, my FAVORITE! Before Clint came home from work, me and the kids all chipped in and cleaned the house extra good as part of our gift to him. I truly do love Valentines Day and all the thoughts and feelings it brings into our home. Not that we really need to be reminded to love one another...it just is so fun to celebrate how lucky we really are to have each other. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

Anyways...that is my update for now! Hugs & Kisses to all!
