I'm still here :)

I can't believe that I'm due in two days! Holy cow!! I really believe that I will go over though and really that's OK with me. We are so busy with the boys sports schedules and everything else that's going on that it's easier to have the baby inside than out right now :) However, I'm so excited to meet him and see what he looks like and kiss and hold him. I can't wait for that! It's going to be so neat to have a newborn again in the family. I feel so lucky!!!
This weekend was really fun. First I will start with Friday. My Mom came over, it was really great having her here as usual. She helped me get all the laundry done and she made dinner. She also brought over one of those diaper cakes it turned out so cute! I should have taken a picture. Thanks Mom!
Saturday was my sister in-law Jaime's baby shower. She is having her first girl after two boys. It was fun getting together with all the cousins and of course the food was great. She got a lot of really cute things. That night Ethan got invited to go to a birthday party for my nephew Shaun at the drive in movie. We haven't been to a drive in movie in so long so I decided to take the rest of us, we saw "Horton hears a who". Here is a picture of everyone (minus Ethan) in the back of the car. It was a lot of fun and way cheaper than the regular movies. Children under 9 are free!


Sunday, church was great (I love our 11:30 time) and then we headed to my in-laws for dinner. The kids just love going there on Sunday's, it has really turned into a wonderful tradition. My Father in-law has started a little farm with chickens, a cow, a horse, so along with the rest of the 5 acres the kids have a blast running around and getting dirty!
Todd and I took Mack and went for a walk. It was so beautiful (everything is so green still). My in-laws live out in the hills where there are not a lot of houses around. It was quiet and peaceful. I was hoping we wouldn't find coyotes or snakes on the way :). It was also fun having a little one on one time with Mack since he will be graduating and won't be the baby in the family soon :)
Isn't that true, the baby of the family is always the baby until a new baby comes. I know he will seem so big once the baby is here. (Notice we still don't have a name :)

I can't believe it's almost end of pregnancy and the beginning of life with a new baby! I know what you mean about waiting just a few more days. That's how I felt too.

I am so excited for this new baby boy to join your family. He will be so loved and taken care of. Good luck with the naming part, that is so hard!

How exciting tomorrow is the big day!! We had a lady who used to live in California then moved out to New Orleans (where I met her) and always did those diaper cakes. They were darling.

Can't wait to see the little guy. Good luck!

Amie said...

Good luck! I can't wait to hear what you name him (one of my favorite parts....)

I agree it is easier to care for them on the inside!
