Beautiful Life

My new favorite song!


This song is so meaningful to me right now. I feel that in 11 (gulp) weeks my family will be complete. I can't wait for the adventures to come. Chris is starting to get excited. I still have nothing ready but I will.


Today we are having a mini Thanksgiving as Chris's parents are here from WI and we won't see them again until December and by then I will be VERY pregnant! I want them to know how thankful we are for them. Because we are. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family supporting us as we raise this small village of people.

But here is my favorite song -

HEY EGGBERT - We're all here cause we love you.
And when you finally open your eyes and ears,
you'll see and you'll hear us sing.
La la la la la la, it's a beautiful world and we're all here.

Beautiful World by Jim Brinkman

Five?

Did you watch Five on Lifetime?

I'm watching it now. Perhaps it's the hormones, perhaps it's my mentor (my friend) who is battling cancer, perhaps it is Trey's friend's Mom who is battling cancer...


I'm a wreck. If you have ever been touched by cancer, watch this movie....

It is an amazing glimpse into the lives affected by this horrible disease.



It makes me put my pregnancy yucky stuff in perspective.


Oh this is just my opinion. No one asked me to do this.

Denial....

So I "came out" a few days ago. I was hoping that it would motivate me to do something for this poor child. But no. I have done nothing still.


Still no car seat (our original one expired - who knew?). Okay, don't correct me those of you smarty pants people that knew! I had no idea til my sister, who doesn't have any kids btw, informed me. thank goodness this is the first child after the expiration. I would have felt really guilty if Keegan had sat in an expired seat.


My two purchases - a new sit/stand stroller and one package of NB diapers.....hmmm. I don't think that's going to cover it. Not even close. I assume that I will get it all finished in time!

Want to feel smart? You can - try Smarterer

I think that we all remember that I am a BzzAgent and I love to tell you all about some of the fun things that I have tried. This one is a hum-dinger! A definite ego boost!

Pintrest? Anyone?

Pintrest is my new love. I can't believe it but I actually made something from my "pinning" experiences! It is truly lovely. The Halloween ribbon wreath if you are wondering.

If you haven't pinned, get on there and start pinning - there seems to be a little something for everyone!


Oh, and I am expressing this opinion - no one asked me too, I just wanted to share my new hobby! Pinning!

Votes?

The votes are in at our house. What votes? The boy/girl votes. Apparently, another boy is not top of anyone's list. We all would love a little girl, so badly. I have my doubts though. I have this gut feeling we are looking at another boy.


I had to have a talk with the family. It actually went surprisingly well. I explained to everyone (including Chris) - that we can wish our hearts away for a girl, but we still might get a boy. Thank goodness Olivia has a rule of life for this exact situation. Naomi very happily explained rule of life #whatever it is....that even though your Mommy might ask you if you want a boy or a girl, you might not get what you want.



Oh, and I'll tell you in January what we are having. It's our last and definitely going to be a surprise this time! I heart surprises!

What's in a name?

Well, we are going to find out! This Mommy is expecting her 4th baby! 4, Wow, it still boggles my mind. 4 babies. Wow. I'm still processing and we are over halfway there.

Today, I was at Walmart and someone said to me you are Naomi's Mom right? I laughed and said, yes and Trey's Mom and Keegan's Mom....then I thought this time next year I will be someone elses mom.


It brings me back 8 years ago when I never thought I would get to be anyone's mom - let anyone be Mom to 4 kiddos. It's crazy!!!!

So, kiddo #4 will be here in January. I thought the same thing with Naomi and she came 3 weeks early. Keegan came right on time.



4 Wow. How many times can I use the word Wow???
