Coming Soon

We will be joyfully welcoming a new little one into our family this Fall! Nearly 12 weeks along now, and I am finally feeling semi-normal again. After a period of great fatigue and nausea, my energy is finally returning, and my belly is growing! :) Being number three, I think I "popped" early. Others might think I've just eaten a big meal! :) We've spent much time talking about "when the baby comes" and practically all of us have had dreams of the baby. We've talked of names and how we expect some things will change with a new little one. We couldn't be more happy or excited about this little blessing. ;)

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb." (Psalm 139:13-15 NLT)

Mother's Day 2011

I was awakened from a deep sleep by My Girl... She smiled brightly, and declared that breakfast was ready! In fact it was "right here!"
She proudly presented a tray with heart-shaped pancakes, butter, syrup and a copy of the "Mom's Gazette."
She had made the pancakes all by herself with only minimal help from Daddy when the batter was not exactly pour-able. ;)
What a wonderful way to wake up.
Something I've been waiting 10 years for! :)

I enjoyed sipping my coffee on the patio in my hammock chair, with my loves in view. I also received a very lovely Lisa Leonard Designs necklace from my wonderful hubby! I've been wanting one of her pieces for a long time!

hazards of babywearing

I was making a green smoothie one day while wearing Baby Boy in the Moby Wrap....


He has some QUICK hands! Grabs the nearest thing in sight! What a mess! Glad it was just water!
The guilty party...isn't he just the cutest?!


I told him later that day that is he wasn't so cute he would have been long gone...Sissy was within earshot of that remark and was very offended...
I had to tell her I was kidding of course! ;)
