Discouragement and distractions

I hate it when I build myself up for something, only to be let down. You would think I would learn, but I find myself doing it over and over again.

This time, I decided I was going to have my baby early - this week actually - and I don't know of anything more discouraging that finding out that you are probably going to be pregnant for a while. I know, doctors can be wrong, but I doubt he is this time. Three reasons:

1. I haven't progressed at all this week; still only dialated to a 1.

2. Dr. Watson is going to be out of town until Saturday.

3. Everyone knows it's not possible to predict your due date. (Darn it!)
And so I wait! I just hope it happens sooner rather than later!

So, to keep myself busy, and hopefully my mind on other things (so far it hasn't worked at all!) I do this...

Balance family, marriage, and school...
Showing off their muscles lifting daddy's books.
Silly Kids!
Taysia napping with daddy! (I wish I could say I got a nap too... not this time!)
Keep up with two incredibly busy, and incredibly fun kids...

Enjoying a calm moment.....


It was only a moment!

Finish the quilt I started a year ago for Taysia (Finally!)

Make curtains for the master bedroom
(I LOVE how they turned out, and am excited to start on the ones for Taysia and Phoenix's room.)



It is crazy to think of adding one more kid to the craziness, but I'm excited. Jarom and Taysia are pretty excited too! Especially Taysia! She seems to have grown up so much lately! She is going to be such a wonderful big sister!

Sweet little princess!

I can't believe how big she is!!!

I feel for you, I really do! I know that every day until she finally comes is going to feel like the longest day of your life. But then it will finally happen, and looking back, it will have gone so fast.
I know, I know . . . easy for me to say.
Good luck. And I love love love the name!
