Gettin' There

My boys and I went grocery shopping this morning and I must say, other than the 11ty-billion people in town, it was the most pleasant grocery trip I think I've ever had with the two of them. They even got a new movie, I was so proud of them. It made me feel as though I actually stand a chance at managing three children 7.5 months from now.

There was one slight damper to my day, I am sorry to say. That was the fact that near the end and most of the way home, I was feeling a little woozy. I keep getting waves of nausea, nothing serious but enough to wonder if it's only the beginning of something far worse. I also suffer from terrible fatigue. I do not remember being this tired with the other two. Funny how you forget things between babies.

This weekend is cider weekend at our house. We are finally going to pick the apples and take them in to be pressed. Yum yum! We are going to have a whole freezer full of cider I imagine. I love this time of year.

Terah is coming over sometime this week to make pear butter with me as well. I have never done it before so if anyone has a good recipe let me know.

Well, the boys are sleeping and I am going to take this golden opportunity and see if I can get a little rest myself. See you all later.

Puffs

My kiddos love dandelion puffs and I must admit that I don't mind them so much myself when I watch their little lips pucker and they blow\spit them into the wind. There is just something about watcing them do this that seems almost magical to me. It brings back those fuzzy memories of my sister and I doing the same thing.







Unfortunately there aren't very many of Rowster because he runs away when he notices that I'm taking a picture so I only ever get one or two.

Baby, Baby

So my sister broke the news this weekend. You will have to see her post over at Our Happily Ever After. Very exciting indeed. I was thrilled to hear it.

However, I was much more thrilled to tell her that Jay and I are expecting! Yep! Baby number 3 on the way. We are very excited. I have not been to the doctor yet but believe my due date to be June 15th. I am nervous as I have never been before about this pregnancy. I do not know why but I am fearing a miscarriage. The only thing I can chalk it up to is that I really want this baby and they say 1 in 3 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Please pray for me to have faith. We are already praying for this little soul.

I think of my post not too long ago about whether or not to "control" the amount of children we have and it makes me smile. I don't know exactly how I feel about all of that as of yet, but I do know that I would not give this baby up. Nothing can replace the feeling that comes with knowing that in few short months our family will grow and our love expand. Strange to think that I once thought two was enough.

We can't wait to see who you are little one. We love you already.

Adam's Apple

This boy loves his apples almost as much as he loves posing for the camera. Most of these are not candids as he would say, "Mommy, take a picture of me like this." Then he would put the apple in his mouth and hold it just so. My little poser.














My book reading buddies will appreciate this last one.

Update

I talked to Carissa, or Crispy as I like to call her, and have the info on the little guy.

His name officially is Joseph Chase but they'll call him Joey. They decided at the last minute to name him Joseph.

But mommy and baby are both home and doing fine. Big brother Justin is happy about his brother and thinks he's "kinda cute."

Still no pics, sorry!

He's Here!

I got the call last night....



Carissa, Jay's little sister, called and said that she had her baby at 5-something in the evening. His name is Joey. He was 6 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 inches long. I forgot to ask his middle name because she was very tired and I didn't want to keep her too long. I don't have any pictures yet as they live in Wyoming, but I will post them as soon as I get them.

Welcome to the family baby Joey!

What's more important to a man than his truck?

His reflection, of course.
