Life Changes

Lot's of change in our household! Of course, what else would you expect when you add a fourth member to your family?

Life with two kids is busy, especially when your 22 month old decides to start the Terrible Twos! He loves his little sister though. Every time she cries he comes over with his arms outstretched, "Help?, Help?" Or, "Hug?" Adorable I tell ya, adorble. Birth story coming soon, pinky swear. Here's a teaser to bring ya back for it: no drugs, 20 minutes. And I have to ask, who in their right mind wants to do labor with no drugs? I declare myself sane and say, not me.

Oh, and here is the last belly shot we got (doesn't it look fake?!):

Show Me What You've Got

I'll be back to post some pics, but just wanted to get the word out....

We have a GIRL on the way!

Woot!


P.S. My position was eliminated 10/8, along with many others in my general area. Luckily, I work(ed) for a great company and we will be okay for awhile with some good options in the near future. Right now, I am enjoying the unexpected gift of time at home. Unfortunately, we don't have the internet right now. I hope to rectify that soon. I think I'll need this space for some sanity saving before this ordeal is over!

Three Word Thursday

My.Girls.Rock.
(including those not pictured!)

Holiday weeks are always long, aren't they? This week has been no exception. As I was loading Max into the car this morning, my thought was, is Friday over yet? No, Thursday is only beginning. SIGH.

I started the prescribed synthetic progeterone shot regime this week. The home nurse was very nice and very talented. However, she cannot change the size of the needle. Nor can she change the fact that the shot has a castor oil base, which requires a slow injection. Two days later, I have a lovely bruise and my hip still hurts when I move. One down, 19 to go.

Cute Max moment of the week: Last night we were all cuddled on the floor when he decided it was time to dance. So, up he went and the grooving started. But he was dancing alone, and that just wasn't acceptable. So, he starts pulling on my hands and grunting with his effort : ) Baby boy wanted to dance with Mama. If it were possible to love him more...

Happy Father's Day - Take 2

First - Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's out there. You ROCK.

And, to the daddy in our house:
I couldn't ask for a better daddy to my babies. Thank you for all your patience and understanding, humor and you that you inject into our days. We love you for it!

Oh, did you catch my grammar? Babies. As in 2:

A surprise souvenir from vacation : D My estimates say baby is due mid February. Not quite what I would have planned ; ) Also not something I would plan, baby will be here before Max is 2. We are looking to have quite the busy household.

Anyone and everyone, if you have thoughts on what we can do to help prepare Max please share in the comments!
