Baby Update

I had another Dr. appt this week, everything looks good.  He's testing my glucose levels AGAIN, and also testing for anemia since I've been exhausted.  Other than that everything is good.  He said that the baby will come early... HA HA HA!  I've always been late and it gets later with each baby so we'll see if he is right in his prediction that the baby will come in the middle of August.  He acts like since this is my 4th baby he will just slide right out without me even knowing, right, just ask those mom's who have 5 or 6 and see if they noticed or not.

I have been really tired this pregnancy, and it seems to be getting worse.  I get up at 6:30 have breakfast, get the girls off to school, then around 8:30 I crash.  I feel so sorry for C because he has to watch TV while I sleep.  Lucky for me he just sits on my bed with me and watches while I snooze.  Around 10:30 or so I start feeling like a human being, and the cobwebs clear and I can function for the day.  Right now as I read this it's 9:30 and I haven't had my nap and I'm about to fall asleep on my key board.  I even got a coke at Burger King to try and stay awake this morning, because my Visiting Teachers are coming but it's not helping.  

On another note, I found out yesterday that my Dr's son is in K's class at school, it feels a little weird.

Glad to hear all is well! My first three were all early then Jack was a week late. I think they have a mind of their own and they will come when they are ready. So would this be your OB's son in your daughter's class? Yikes!
Quick funny story-my teacher buddy at school had a nether-regions problem and went to urgent care. The doctor ended up being a parent of one of her students. How could she not blush when he came for conferences?

Well, Samuel was my easiest birth, but he was also my only non-induced birth, and he was my latest too (either 5 (according to me) or 3 (according to dr.) days late).

I was more tired with my boy pregnancies than I was with my girl pregnancies. So maybe it is that! LOL But seriously, I am sorry that you are so tired.

I'm having leftover spaghetti and a Coke for breakfast to try and stay awake. I am so ready for a nap and I just got up at 7am!

LOL! I don't recall any babies sliding right out, but it does get easier.

ALL of mine were late, but HOW late was kind of sporadic:

7, 5, 5, 13, 9, and 2 days past my due date.

I feel bad for you! I also know how you feel. I was very tired with my pregnancy with Beckett too but am even more tired now! I am not giving you much hope, am I?? I am chalking it up to 4 kids plus old age. Don't worry about C-kids love T.V. and it is educational these days.

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...
