6 More Weeks

As I am coming to the end of this pregnancy, I have realized even more that mom's will go through anything for their children. This has been such a different/stressful/tiring/hard pregnancy from the very beginning. Everything has been completely unexpected with this one compared to my other two and it has kind of thrown me for a loop. Nothing has been the same as my other pregnancies. But through it all, I know I would do anything to make sure this little girl gets here safe and healthy. It's amazing to me that we are priviledged enough and trusted enough to carry these babies through pregnancy and then take care of them after they are born. I am so lucky to have two special little children in our home already and I am so excited for this third one. I am so lucky to have a husband who loves our children and is such a wonderful father and husband.

So yeah, one of the unexpected things of this pregnancy that I didn't get with the others is my high, uncontrolled emotions and how easy I cry now! This is one of my emotional moments. I thought I would share.

Christmas Break

We had a really fun Christmas and New Year holiday. We hope everyone else did as well.

We stayed pretty busy during the break...some of it was unexpected busy-ness. Cody was busy remodeling our basement bathroom because we found a leak coming from upstairs into it. He worked on that for a couple weeks straight. The more we fixed the more stuff we found wrong with it. So now we have pretty much a new bathroom! Thanks so much to all of our family who helped us out with that project!

But we also did some fun things...we took the kids to see A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey, we hung out with our families and gained a few pounds on all of our Christmas goodies.

We also went sledding which the kids absolutely loved. Annalyn was fearless! She took her own tube and did her own thing the whole time, which is kind of surprising because usually she is hesitant when it comes to anything new. Jake of course was a daredevil himself. I just took pictures the whole time since I am deprived of that activity at the present time. So here are some shots of Cody and kids sledding.
