US-Week 3

This past week has been busy! We are well on our way to getting baby prepared. I forgot how many baby things I have. So this past week here is what happened.

BEN: This week he was so much help to me! Ben helped me get all of our baby stuff out of our attic. There was seriously boxes and boxes full of stuff. He also helped me paint the room downstairs that Emily and Caleb are moving into. It is a lovely pale yellow color-which took 3 COATS. Ben is always so helpful to me and always so willing to take the kids so I can have a little break. He also is so sensitive and willing to listen to me whine about pregnancy aches and pains. Thanks for the support Honey!

JESSICA: What can I say I have the "whine flu"! I am 33 weeks pregnant today and it feels like I am more like 43 weeks. This baby is growing like a weed. So this past week I went and took one of my Best Friends out to lunch. It was nice to visit with her and let our kids play.  I have hit the nesting stage, I want to clean and clean and clean. It doesn't help that I have stated watching "Hoarders"-bad, very bad! I am getting so anxious but also very nervous. We still don't have a solid name to count on, any ideas would really help!

EMILY: She has been such a big helper this week. When we decided to paint her room, she decided she was going to help. Ben thought it was a good idea, Mom on the other hand didn't but Dad won. Emily painted a picture of herself and her name in BIG letters on the wall. Cute-but hard to cover up, you can still see it if you look close enough. Emily also wasn't feeling well this week and I wasn't sure why. Poor girl!

CALEB: What can I say that I don't always say--Caleb keeps me on my toes. He is always doing something. Caleb is such a good little guy and I know he will make a good Big brother. He doesn't quite understand the whole baby concept thing and I am excited to see his reaction. He loves to play with Emily's Baby Alive and feed her and comfort her. He may be more "help" than what I think.

BABY BOY: Still growing-obviously! This baby has started kicking and rolling every night around 11 pm. I enjoy feeling him move but sometimes it is right in my hip and can be very uncomfortable. I hope he isn't a total night owl when he comes out!

Just for FUN: The story of my life....

Such a cute post, it sounds like you are getting so much done. Which I got to tell you, in my book is super smart. I don't' know if you are a crazy organizational freak like me, but I felt like 3 was really hard at first, so doing all my
projects" before baby was really helpful to me. And your cartoons were way funny.
K names I like,
-Nixon
-Sawyer
-Nicholas
-Stockton or Brigham (k, k, those are my boys names, but I still I like them ha ha)
-Coleman, or Cole
-And I love Rockwell

Sorry, I might like weird names
GOOD LUCK :)

Thanks so much for the cute names girls! Naming a child is so seriously hard for me, I don't know why!

You are like your sister; your posts always make me smile. I wish I could Amber back into it.
Loved your sweet thoughts on your family and the baby that is coming. Enjoy the moments.
Hugs to you! LeAnn

Hi Sweetie!

Just trying to catch up on posts today! I can't wait until that baby is here, name or no name!! In your case, I think he will be much easier to take care of when he is HERE!

Love you,
Mom
