A week and a half


I can't believe that we just have a little over a week until baby #4 gets here.
Oh I just heard a huge crash in the toy closet. The dogs just came running. I don't hear any crying so I am going to assume everyone is ok.
Sorry....Going on..
Oh I just heard another...Dogs going to check it out... No one crying. Ok, I think everyone is still ok. I think I will have a huge mess to pick up later. But it can wait until Grey's is over tonight!

So, what was I saying... Oh yes, a little over a week left. See this is why this pregnancy has flown by...I can't think of one thing for more then a minute:) Before I knew it, I was 7 months pregnant!

So, this baby has a room that is a little set up. I do love walking past it(the only room I have down stairs) because it just looks peaceful. I pulled some boy clothing out and put in the armoire as "wash these if we have a boy and bring to the hospital." Now I need to pull the girl clothing out of the huge "0-3month bucket" and do the same.

I have everything written down in regards to the other kids and the plan for them. I don't think I have missed anything. I hope not. I even started to pack my bag. I never did this with the other kids. I guess I am hoping maybe this baby will arrive a little earlier if I do all this:) Ya right:) I am 37 weeks now. A week ago the baby was measuring around 6lbs 11ounces. So. If I remember right we should be close to 7.5 lbs now. Or maybe 7. All I know is I feel like this kid is about 11 lbs!

The weather is beautiful and I sure hope baby's birthday is perfect outside like it is today!
Tomorrow is my 2nd to last appt! I can't believe it. We are going to go out and get the "things" we are missing or realize we needed and never had. I really can't imagine we need too much.

3 weeks away


3 weeks to go....And we will be a family of 6! It is so amazing that just 3.5 years ago we were headed to the hospital to have our first baby! I guess we are part of the group that makes that 2.5 children per household look out dated!
By the way.....They need to drop the .5!

We are thrilled and nervous at the same time. People ask me all the time...How do you do it? What are you going to do with 4 kids? You are a Saint....

I can't help but think...Well, what do you think I am going to do? I am going to love them all the same...Have a favorite little tid bit about each baby in my life...feed them, change them, and need a break every once in a while from them! But foremost, thank God for the blessing of them.

The next few weeks are going to be filled with lots of family time and lots of getting ready!
