Thanks for visiting my blog. It's sort of a running history of the trials and tribulations of raising a busy family. I work full time as a nurse and my husband is at home keeping the rest of our lives in some sort of order. Life is busy, fun and challenging every single day. I hope you enjoy our story!

Preparing for Number Three....


Well, we are officially on the countdown now. I thought it would be nice to start a Blog for those of you interested in following along these last couple of months and, of course, it will be an easy way to get pictures of the new little princess out to you as fast as possible! The C-section date has been set for July 28th. It's a bit odd going into the doctor's office and picking out a birthday! It sounded like a good day to me (the truth being it was the very earliest day my OB would agree to do it- such a stickler to the rules!). I thought I'd include the 20 week ultrasound picture for those of you that hadn't seen it. Plus it gives me practice in posting pictures to my blog.

We are getting closer to being ready. Alex's room is nearly ready for paint and carpeting. He picked out nice brown carpet and brown paint. Thank God we talked him out of the Star Wars Lava Red that he really wanted. I did find him a very cool 30th anniversary Star Wars poster however, that should make him happy. We bought pink paint for the girls' room today. Anna is very excited to put up some Disney Princess posters that she found. Anna and I hit the Woodbury days garage sales yesterday for nearly 7 hours. She is quite the little shopper! We found many bargains for the new baby. Many cute girls clothes to browse through. I think at this rate, she'll be able to wear each outfit once! Hopefully she'll stay small long enough to get through them all.

Happy Mothers day! Great Idea. I could forward to Helen, but the last time I sent her pictures of the kids, Grandpa asked to just send them via mail. I think it upsets Grandma too much. Rita

Boy was I thinking I totally missed something when I first read your email. I thought you had the baby already! Thank goodness we still have a few months to go. I'm not quite ready yet!! Glad to know things are coming along with the kids rooms. Take it easy and thanks for the email. This is a great idea. Love ya, Kelly
