Big Boy-


I love the fact that he is such a snuggler. He loves his mickey.





Sweet Boy.........









This picture was taken yesterday of Ben snuggling up to Naya. You can see his little arm over the top of her.


Isn't it cute to see such a little guy in such a big bed? We don't have Ben's new bed yet and won't for a few months but I only have twelve weeks to transition him so we had to start somewhere.

Week 28

That's right! I'm starting week 28 so 12 more weeks until baby girl gets here. She has been really gentle for the most part until recently. The other day she was kicking really hard. Still not as hard as Ben did. I think that boy just wanted out and was trying to find a way starting at week 20. I am so excited! Almost ready. I am so thankful God gives us 9 months to prepare for the new addition. I was anxious to have A.J.- ready to not be pregnant anymore with Ben- and I'm just enjoying the little breaks that I get now before this one arrives. I really don't care for being pregnant. But I love bringing new lives into the world. The first time you hold and kiss your new little one can be a little awkward, but the most touching at the same time. I am excited to see how the boys react to their new baby sister. I also can't wait to see Andy holding his perfect baby girl. Fun Fun Fun. As soon as I get dressed I will take a picture of my fat babyness.

Holly Hobbie


Here is a duplicate I did out of an old Holly Hobbie book. I use to love her as a little girl. I don't remember the stories but I do remember some plaques that my mom had hanging in our bathroom. I wish I had those. I have really been inspired by illustrations in old children's' books. If you would like to request anything please feel free. If they turn out good enough I might consider opening an Etsy Shop and selling them.

Dr. High Risk

Yes, that's who I saw today. Have I mentioned how much he resembles Gene Wilder? It is kind of funny. He is a very good Dr. So I waited in the waiting room for an hour before they saw me. I was a little upset about it until I found out why. There were two girls in Labor in there. One of them was only 30 weeks and I didn't here how far the other one was. The 30 week er was so upset ! Crying and scared. It took all I had to not run out and hug her and ask her if I could pray with her. My heart just wanted to jump into her wheelchair. I came upon a similar experience at the er with AJ. (I might not have mentioned that I took him there but that is how bad his tooth was at first.) One of the reasons we had to wait so long is that A very pregnant girl was there in Labor. I overheard her telling the nurses that she hadn't had any medical care and didn't care who delivered. She was very thin and smelt of cigarette smoke. My heart sank. I loved her and didn't even know her. Maybe some kind of pregnancy care is in my future. Anyway, I got distracted. So I finally got to see the Dr. and have my 15th TV sono......or something close to that. I measured at 3 cm, better than last time. Then I had a regular sono and baby measured great. Dr. said She is growing like a champ. 2.2 pounds and head down. He wants to check it again in two weeks. You can only imagine how many medical bills are adding up. I was approved for Medicaid thank God! That should cover anything insurance doesn't cover. We will see. Thats all for now! Check in later--

Snaggle Tooth

Last night, after the bleeding..........
This morning.........

After the Dentist............


So, Here is the scoop. We were out front talking to the neighbor and out of the corner of my eye I see A.J. crashing to the ground. Apparently he was running in front of my car and his pants snagged on the license plate sending him straight down on his face. I was hurt. It looks as though the tooth is loose and we could just pull it out but that was not the case! It was firmly out of place!

Bits and pieces

Ahhhh! Stoli love.......
Here is A.J. searching for fossils and Ben doing whatever big brother is doing.

We have started our Sat. night rituals again. A lot of roasted marshmellows, camping out, and late nights full of fun. Well, no late nights for Ben anyway.








Here is baby girl's picture from 5 weeks ago that I've been meaning to share! I can't wait to meet her!

Wow!!!!!!!!!

No pictures this time but maybe in a couple days. I've had no time to do anything other than what is on my list. Which seems to grow every time I scratch something off. I didn't think it was supposed to work that way. I have been de cluttering, and reorganizing my entire house! From under the beds to the tops of my cabinets and everything in between. I also-Oh, I just thought of something else to add to my list-I also have been going through all the boys clothes, books and toys, and have started moving Ben over to share a room with A.J. These days, something that I should be able to complete in one day, I have to allow a week or two! I also have to stop a lot to play with my kids so they don't feel neglected.

It is also time for me to start seeing my regular OBGYN every two weeks. I can't believe It is already time for that!

I would type up my list for you all but I have to get back to work. I promise I will be back soon!
