Baby Fever

I only have 1 more week before I find out what kind of baby I'm having.  I know it most likely will be a human baby but the gender is what I'm talking about.  I've been putting off buying anything because most things are gender specific nowadays since almost everyone knows before the baby comes what the sex is.  My friend Misty and I were talking today and she finds out the sex of her baby on Tuesday and she can't wait because she can start shopping, I totally agree. We have known with all of our kids except for O, she kept all the important parts hidden until the end.  I even had an ultrasound the day of delivery and she would not give it up, now I can't keep clothes on her to save my life.

Anyhoo, I've been in the crochet mood lately and since it's no longer winter time and hats and scarfs are not needed anymore I've moved on to something cuter.  I found this really cute pattern for baby Mary Jane shoes.  I tried it and they turned out sooo cute.  Mind you this was my first pair so the left one is a little longer than the right one but a few more pairs and I should have this down pat or, if the baby takes after Chris we'll be fine since his feet are different sizes anyway.  I think maybe I'll add a button or a crocheted flower or butterfly.  Oh, and if our baby happens to be a boy then I'm sure one of my friends will find these in their baby shower gift soon.

I covet Syndy's talents ALL the time!!! Matthew wasn't giving up his gender either! Because I was an older pregnant lady ... I had more ultraounds than the norm. He would not let us take a peek. We were on our LAST ultrasound and they still didn't know. Then the technician said, "Wait . . . it's a boy!" How did we know? He started peeing and the little important part stuck straight up! Now, he just farts and belches . . . a lot!!!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
