Pooped!
I have just put in 2 extremely productive hours of organizing! (Are you jealous Beth?)
I have several prokects that I want to complete before Alex gets home on Sunday and I am well on my way. I went through all my maternity clothes and organized piles of keeping and donating. I then set aside everything that can be packed away and packed up the donating pile. Then, I moved all of my maternity clothes from Andy/Baby's room into my closet which took some re-organizing to make happen. I removed everything from Bean's closet that doesn't belong aside from Alex's suits and a bag full of Don's shirts that I need to do something creative with. Then I put everything that was left for the baby into the closet. There is still quite a bit of stuff that's Andy's that needs to be taken to the basement and I plan to enlist Mom and Krissy tomorrow to help me finish. I will feel SO much better when that is done.
I am glad that Alex made it to Virginia safe and now just pray for him to make it back to us the same way. I feel rather blessed that I miss him so much. He may drive me crazy sometimes, but I couldn't imagine my life with anyone but him. I love you babe!
Tomorrow will be a busy day. We are shopping with Mom and Krissy for birthday stuff and I hope to get to Old Navy and find a bring home baby boy outfit. Aaron loves to shop, especially when they are involved so it should be a good day! We are also looking for solid blue and pink beanies so I can make them for this little one. I bought iron=ons a few months ago that I need to adhere to take to the hospital with us.
Anyways...I am so beat. I am off to take a bath, read US Weekly and hit the sack!
Lots of love folks. lots of love!

Prayer request
Most of you know that tomorrow I go to the doctor and most of you will remember that tomorrow is 3 years to the day that I was put on bed rest with Aaron. Obviously, I am worried. I know, I know, I know that I cannot control what happens and I am OK with that, but I am still praying that it doesn't happen tomorrow. I am not ready, my job is not ready, but I know, I know, I know that I cannot control His plan.
If you have been there with me through this pregnancy don't back out now. Continue your prayers. The appointment is at 8:15 so I will update you all after. Now I am off to drink lots and lots of water and get my feet up.
Thanks and much love!

Is it really over?
I cannot believe that it is Sunday at 9:30-horse crap man! Why does the weekend go so fast? There is still SO much to do that I could get sick thinking about it. I somehow need to get ready to bring home this baby. At this point, the best thing I can do it try not to think about it because I could lose my mind in thought. I need-really need-to focus this week at work on getting facilitator guides completed-riveting...I know!
Pictures were great and we spent some time at the mall. Mom and John met us and Mamaw bought a girl bring home outfit. We are still in search of one for a boy. I am hoping that we find one this weekend so that at least is done.
Doctor on Wednesday so pray for good blood pressure PLEASE!
Also pray for me to have peace in my heart, I need it.

Spent!
That is what I am right now-TOTALLY! We got up early, went to church, Red Robin with Rob and then headed home to the basement. Today Alex, Aaron and I spent 5 hours working to death (it feels like anyway).
Status:
Dry wall done
1st layer of med-Done
! sanding-what is dry is done
2nd layer of mud-what was sanded is done
Floor swept-done
Trash thrown away-Done
Laundry room cleaned and organized-Done
At this point we need to sand everything again and then mud and sand again and then paint. We also need to do baseboards and decide what will be done with the floor. Alex wants carpet, but we will look at how much it will be and if it is too much then we will opt for some garage floor paint and rug for now. Considering we need additional things down there, carpet may have to come in the future.
I am exhausted! My belly is rather large, but I feel really good for the most part. Tomorrow we are having pictures done-Family, maternity and 3 year-can you believe that? Our baby is going to be 3!! Outfits have been picked out, layed out and just need ironed at this point. Picture day is always stressful, but I am going to try to relax this time-SHUT UP those of you laughing!
Yesterday was a great day! The Burr's and Melendez's came over and the girls hung with the kids while the boys worked. It was fun! Friday night Aaron and I went to Jeffersonville with Mom and Krissyy and had a really good time. I really, really enjoy spending time with them and we have been doing a lot of it lately.
Well, I am off! Lots of love to you all!

Life...
I woke up early this morning feeling really blessed. I am not excatly sure but I have a good guess that it was my prayer last night for me to just be able to give it all to Him. Yesterday I received an email from our Pastor and it in he put, "I am nothing without Jesus Christ" and it hit me like a ton of bricks because I feel this way too. Ir made me stop and think-WOW-There are so many things that I worry about that don't matter. So many people that have been in my life that have hurtn me or turned on me and it doesn't matter becasue He will always be there. I have gotten much better at this point in my life knowing that people come and go...some are meant to be around forever and some just for a season-regardless they are in your life for a purpose. So...instead of trying to figure out why or what happened, I relish in what I do have. Having a realtionship with God is the answer to so many things and I am so glad that I know and feel it. Could I be beter? Sure Will I ever be perfect? No But that is ok. Try giving your all to Him and see the amazing changes you will feel in your heart, body and soul-there is nothing like it! BELIEVE ME!

Progress is being made
I cannot believe the work that has been accomplished in our basement today alone! We are tuly blessed with an amazing church family that has showed us their love beyond words (and they aren't even done)!!
The basement is well under way and that is an understatement. Everyone arrived today at 7am and started working hard. I was on kid duty so I started breakfast for the 5 of them and once they were done I dismissed them to the outdoors and started for the adults. 1 loaf of bread, 2 dozen eggs, 2 cans of cinammon rolls, 1/2 gallon of OJ, some milk and 2 lbs. of bacon later everyone was full and ready to go! It was me and the 5 kiddies so we went off to Mamaws for supplies for stepping stone making and that too was accomplished. Thank God Katie stopped by so she was able to help supervise everyone.
The basement looks amazing already. There is a ton of wood and lots of wires and lighting-it looks...well better than I thought it ever would at the end of today.
Rob saved the day with pizza for lunch when I realized that my pickle roast was not going ot be done in time, again blessed.
So...here are my shoutouts!
Steve-thank you for helping Alex at the store, unloading all the stuff and love!
Jim, Cheryl, Pat, Scott and Steve-thank you for your hard work, sweat and love!
Rob-thank you for saving me with the pizza, entertaining the kids and letting me groom you!
Shelly-thanks for the visit!
Its times likes these you find out who truly stands beside you!

Wow! What a day!
Today was non-stop, not that that is new to me. It is hard for me at this point to see any down time in the near future. I got up early and made cafe and french toast and then Alex headed off to school. Aaron and I watched The Land Before Time and I cleaned and put pictures in an album while it wrapped up. Success! I ordered over 400 pictures from Shutterly this week and was really excited to get them and have them in an album! THen Krissy cam over and we went to Kohl's for a birthday party present and more albums. We came home to drop off Aaron to Daddy and went to a nursery-no luck so we came home so I could get ready for the party. When Aaron woke up he cried for her so we picked her up on the way and she came with us. Awesomeness to spend the day with her! We then went to Elisa's to pick up some clothes then came home to get Alex and Mamaw to go to Babies R' Us. We are in need of a few things...bottles, bring home outfits and a dual stroller. I want a jogger so that I can use it when I am training to run my 1/2 marathon. Yea-that is my goal for a little less that one year from now-we will see what happens. Patti at work is going to train with me! I have always wanted to be a runner and how have quite a few people that can help me get there. Once I get my OK from the doc after this little one comes I will start training. So...if you have a jogger than you want to sell or know someone that it selling one-I am your girl!
We left with a frickin $50 set of bottles (are you kidding me), 2 sets of jammies for Aaron, a seat for the top of the toilet since we NO longer use the little potty (HUGE KUDOS TO OUR BOY AND MY HUSBAND FOR BEING RIGHT THAT HE WAS READY)! We are blessed since not too many boys are trained before 3! and his Fourth of July outfit. We left without bring home outfits which is the main reason we went and what is streiing me today. That along with a million other things. My plan and goal for tomorrow is to just enjoy the day-every moment of it. Alex is cooking for us and Krissy is going to get a tree for Mom. Ahh! The good life! I love my family!
Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

A sick little guy
Last night when I picked up Aaron he was coughing-ick! It lasted all night and I am not sure if I ever really slept. Oh well! Today I took him to the doctor-just a virus and now he is sleeping like a baby. Thank you Lord! Not sure what our plans will look like now this weekend unless he gets better super quick!
