Loves the smell of the rain

is starving. Ding dongs or lunchables?

is finding out what gender our baby is tomorrow. Woot!

It's a bird.....it's a plane.....it's......A BOY!!!!!

I want muddy buddies and krispie kremes.

It's hot outside. really REALLY hot outside. This is why I'm not allowed to live anywhere South of here.

Feel good.....all things considered....

I'm sorta spent - is it bad that I have no desire to even think about doing something fun tonight, this weekend or EVER? Ugh.

Slept for 9 hours last night. NOW I'm ready to play.

Dear Baby, I hope....

I find myself daydreaming and fantastizing about Baby Thomas pretty much all the time. I wonder what he'll look like, what he'll sound like, and how tight his tiny little fingers will wrap around mine. I wonder what kind of personality he'll have, and what sorts of things he'll like. I'm curious and excited about all of those things. But more than anything, I'm hopeful.


I hope Thomas gets Josh’s naturally straight teeth….and his hand eye coordination…and his metabolism, good hair, fantastic laugh and ability to listen. And I hope he gets my ability properly pronounce the words library, grab and converse.


I hope Josh and I can learn how to be responsible parents and that Thomas can grow up to be a responsible kid. 


I hope Thomas knows that we love him more than anything and that he remembers that he knows that.


I hope Thomas is healthy, strong and capable. I hope his body does all the things it is capable of and designed to do.


I hope I can keep up with him, because so far he's wearing me out. I hope a get some random burst of energy that will allow me to function all day long on practically zero sleep for the next 20-whatever years.


I hope Josh is at least 1/10th as cute with our baby as he is with everyone else's. And I hope he's 10 times safer than he's thinking of being.


I hope our Heavenly Father hears and understands our prayers. That he'll give us clear answers and guide us to do what we should be doing.


I hope Thomas inherits his father's ability to love people. That he can be as calm, mellow and patient as Josh is capable of being.


I hope Thomas's mind develops as it should, that things come easily to him, that he gets my love of reading, and ability to "do school" easily and Josh's ability to build stuff and work with his hands.


There are so many things I want for him, so many things I want for me. So many things that seem like such great answers. 


I hope we get only those things that will be best for us and extra of those trials that will teach us the most important lessons.

It's official

I'm pregnant.

I've known that for 111 days.
That's 15 weeks.
2664 hours
159,840 minutes.

Funny thing is, today I can tell. Maybe I'm slow (probably most women don't take 111 days to be able to tell), I know women who "KNOW as soon as it happens". I'm not one of those women.

Some factors contributing to my sudden "feeling" pregnant?

  • I'm tired. I'm so tired all I can do is cry. I can't even sob-cry, I just whimper cry because it takes less energy. My eyes won't stay open. I can't sleep. The worst part is I know this is NOTHING compared to what it feels like when you have 5 little kids running around and you haven't slept in 10 years since the first one was born. I know I'm a sissy for being so tired and I can't function when the truth is I slept for 8 hours last night and only woke up twice. That thought makes me more tired.
  • My stomach hurts ALL the time. OK just since yesterday, but I swear I can feel things moving around and stuff stretching out. It hurts. Bad.
  • My clothes don't fit. While we were camping last weekend  we sat down to play some cards and I swear my pants fit when I sat down, but when I stood up 2 hours later, they suddenly didn't anymore. Seriously. That's not gonna work for me.
  • It's hot. I'm not really sure what my problem is, but I can't get my body to a comfortable temperature, unless of course I'm mostly naked (calm down, I wear a swimsuit) in a pool and eating a snow cone. 
  • My ring doesn't fit today. I swear overnight something happened to my body because I'm hot and swollen and tired and in pain and my fingers (which were smaller than my ring yesterday) are larger than my ring today.
Today, I feel pregnant.
