Its GO Time!!

I go in in 4 hours to have a baby...I am up nervous and still trying to get crap done!! I will post pics as soon as I come home from the hospital!! Wish me luck!!!!!

Waiting...

Look....over there------->. See that pregnant woman....yep...the one with the giant belly. The one that underneath it says 5 DAYS LEFT???? I don't know whether to jump for joy or get emotional! Ha! I am soooo ready not to be pregnant anymore and welcome our no named little girl into the world, but at the same time I want to sit and stare at this big 'ol pregnant belly and take it all in that this is the last time. This is the last time I will be pregnant. This is the last addition to our family. This is the last baby that will be in our home. EVER. This is by far the most exciting thing that a family can look forward to.... I cant wait. I cant wait to hear her cry. I cant wait to see her little face. I cant wait for her to meet her big brother and sister. I am beside myself. With Raegan I was unsure if we would add another child to our family...I was 28 and didn't feel like I was ready to make the definite decision that we wouldn't have anymore. It has taken A LOT of getting used to this time around because everything just happened, and was so unplanned. It took me several months to get excited and used to the fact I was going to be a mother of 3. I have made up my mind that this is it. No more! Ha! I am scheduled for a C-Section on Monday, March 29th at 7am! Shortly after I am going to have a tubal....and I am most definitely sure that is what is best for me...and for my family! ha! I am ready to start the next chapter of my life. The one that starts as me being a great mom and wife and not wondering what is next for us. I am ready to enjoy my kids and my husband and live life. I think that if you are a mom you understand what I mean. I sat with my best friend Crystal and this is how she put it to me...and it makes sense! It is a different kind of feeling....knowing you are done having kids and moving on to raising the ones that you have. Whole hearted! So I am ecstatic to meet this baby that has taken up roost in my gut....I cant wait to see what little personality she brings to our family. Although I'm not sure if we have any more room for BIG personalities in this family...we have so many already...haha! Most of all I am excited to see how Raegan and Ty react to their new sister! Its going to be great! I had the kids pictures done yesterday with Sprinkle of Grace photography and I cant wait to see them! Check out her site.... am nesting and am tieing up loose ends and getting stuff done that I have planned on doing for months now. A visit to Target and $100 later I have everything I can think of for the baby...from gas drops to butt paste. Most of all I just got news that Jared and Heather are coming this weekend for a visit!! And they are bringing their new addition...Beau!! They have been in a whirlwind of things lately...they got news, adopted, and now HAVE a new baby boy! And it all happened within like a day! God has truly blessed their family and I can't wait to meet him!! Oh and see them too...ha ha! My in laws are coming on Saturday to spend a couple of nights, and my Mom will be here on Sunday to stay the week!! I have so much to look forward to this weekend so it should breeze right past.....right? Man I hope so! NOW...if I can just get this house clean and the mountains of laundry done! ha!

Spring Break has officially begun...

Matt and I dropped the kids off in Big Spring with my parents to take to Levelland yesterday! My Mom is off for Spring Break and wanted them to come see her since they haven't been there for a visit since Christmas. I soooo wanted to go but being 2 weeks away from delivery of this baby I didn't think it to be too smart to get too too far away. But as I sit here and write this I realize that my doctor isn't even in town....so WTH? He is gone all week so what is delivering in Lubbock or in San Angelo? Either way it won't be by my doctor! Maybe I should still go...Matt has to make a business trip to Lubbock on Wednesday evening...hmmmmm. If only the car ride wasn't so uncomfortable and cause such swollen feet!! ha! Anyway I am taking advantage of the lack of distractions and "nesting". Yes folks I have been on a roll today getting EVERYTHING cleaned out and up! I am currently working on cleaning out kids rooms complete with toy consolidation and downsizing of crap! Washing sheets, vacuming, moping, and dusting! Tomorrow I am guessing that I will clean bathrooms and eventually I think I might hit the baseboards. Maybe not! Today marks 14 days (2 weeks) until this baby gets here and she STILL doesn't have a name. We thought we were sooo close to making a decision and then decided to start over. We just don't think the names we picked "stick" or sound like "us". So back to square one! I'm so excited to get this show on the road. I am officially hitting that crazy stage of pregnancy where I am crying, yelling, and not making much sense half of the time. Thank goodness my kiddos are at my moms for a few days cause I think that I have been giving them the brunt of most of it. It is pretty sad when your 2 year old can tell when your mad at her...and asks "Mom are you angry to me?" It breaks my heart cause no 2 year old should know when their mom is pissed. I'm really trying to be positive but these damn hormones are getting the better of me. I'm sure after they get home I will be refreshed and looking at the home stretch and enjoying the time I have left as being a family of 4. I think I have sat here long enough...i have a mess of a house to tackle! ha!

Season Change!

Can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Spring?!?! 'Cause I do! I love when it starts getting warm and the kids are no cooped up in the house anymore and can play outside! I love baseball season, capri pants, and flip flops! I had to go to Target yesterday and get Raegan and Ty clothes....thank goodness that they out grow their winter clothes right about when Spring hits! Raegan is easing into 3T and Ty into 7! They are such big kids! I found some cheapo flip flops for Raegan and got some for Ty at the outlet mall when we were there! $2.50 for flops is fantastic!! I got some leggins, shirts, skorts, and shorts for Ty! They are pretty set at least until it gets to Summer. Hopefully I will finish the girls' room today....minus decor on the walls...but I will post pictures of the finished product as soon as it is finished! I'm thinking that I will have an opportunity to send the kids to either grandparents houses during Spring Break and can get it all done! I soo wish I could pack up and go to my mom's for the week, but I cant STAND to sit in the car that long! Not to mention I haven't had ankles for about 3 days now! My poor feet are so swollen! Oh well...the kids can go. They always have a blast at their Grandee's house! Ha! On a final note...I have been going on and on about getting a new phone and to my surprise the UPS man made a visit to our house yesterday with a box. I opened it to find that Matt had ordered it for me!! I LOVE LOVE it! It is fantastic and I couldn't be happier with it! No more Blackberry for me!! He is the best! Just when I think that I am the farthest thing from his mind he does something like this just to remind me that he does think about me from time to time! Ha!

Its called nesting for a reason!

Well I guess I have taken this week head on...trying to get some stuff cleaned out and get better organized. But as Thursday came on me today I ran out of "wanna". I'm tired ya'll. REALLY tired. I have been trying to tackle everything so that it is all so-so when the 29th gets here but seriously I don't have that much energy and I have OFFICIALLY fizzled out! With STILL...no baby/girl's room....damn. This past week I have cleaned the laundry room, finally hung all of my decorations on my walls in my bedroom since getting new furniture, and made room in Raegan's room for all of the baby's stuff. Thats something? Right? Well I am determined to get on this room this weekend, but as I sit here and type I think of all the pictures I need to print off and get into albums, purging of winter clothes, selling of old furniture, cleaning of the garage, and the list in my head could go on. You would think that life as I know it is ending when this baby gets here....and folks...I think that is exactly what I am planning for! As far as I'm concerned, a new baby and a 2 year old at home....life as I know it is forever changed! And if I am going to get anything done it BETTER be in the next 3 1/2 weeks!!!

Panic is slooowly setting in....

And by panic I mean utter hysteria....sort of. I don't know why I have not been freaking out about it but we do not have the girls room ready. I am having a baby in 4 weeks...yep that is 4 Saturdays from today to get a baby/big girl's room together and I have not done a thing. I have told and told Matt that we HAVE to get going on the girls room....Maaattt we need to start on that room....until I am blue in the face. He throws on his p.j.'s and waits until the end of the weekend and looks at me and says, "why didn't you get started on that room". No kidding right?!?! I feel like I am beating my head against the wall 24/7, and his defense is, "you stay home all week, get it done". I truly hate him at this point. The walls have nail holes all in them and all the decor is shoved in a box in the closet and he says to me this morning, not kidding, "Yeah, there is a fishing tournament this weekend! We should get my dad to bring his boat and me and him and Ty can fish all weekend! Won't that be cool?" I just looked at him in utter disbelief and said, "yep". AGAIN, I truly hate him! So I guess I will get in there this week and move the furniture all to the center of the room, did I mention I am 9 months pregnant, and get going on this bedroom. Wish me luck! Hate him....
