38 weeks 39 weeks who's counting?

Ok technically I am counting.  My due date is next Wed. and I am anxious to meet this little one.  I also am restless.  I began my "nesting" Friday but the past couple of days I have been swelling a bit more so I tried to keep my feet up today.  I felt like such a bum.  Too much to do and I am "sitting" around.  All I needed were bon-bons!!!   I went to bed tonight just to be staring into a dark room.  2 problems, it is warm today even with the windows open and I am simply restless.  A couple contractions hit as I lay there but nothing to make me want to hit my hubby so I guess it is only a warm up!  We are praying this happens on a Friday which not everyone gets.  You see, Daryl just started a new job and to get off may be difficult.  Oh if the baby comes, he is coming home but he doesn't want to be "let go."  I don't want him to either but God knows all things.

In other news..........
is there other news?  I feel that I am consumed with the progress of this pregnancy.  As I am sitting here, I have had 3 kiddos get up and say "I can't sleep."  Join the club but the mom in me is like...."get back to bed and close your eyes."  2 say they have upset stomachs, one says they are hungry yet they ate a huge supper.  Ugh!  They are all back in bed but how long before I hear, Mom, one more thing..... that is my middle one's favorite phrase.  One more thing is like saying to make a long story short......it never is, short.  He said he was afraid of the dirty clothes so he had to bring them into the laundry room.  Then he said his stomach hurt but not because he was sick, he wanted a snack.  It's all good though.  They are great blessings and this isn't that common of an occurance.

Strange place to close but I am going to for now.  Good night

Still counting.....but nesting!

Today was the first day in who knows how long that I had all kinds of energy.  I guess it is nesting time.  I cleaned, ran errands and made supper.  Many of these things zapped me in the past few weeks but I felt good.  The calm before the storm right....  I have more to do before this little one makes an appearance but feel like maybe I can accomplish something. 

We may be crazy but we are also expecting company on Monday.  I am totally fine with this though.  Maybe baby this weekend before company?  Only God knows and it is in His timing.  I am just getting anxious!

Well I need to get some rest.  Bye for now

The Count down.....36 1/2 weeks

So this is the count down to meeting this new little one.  I mentioned to someone recently that I feel this one is coming sooner than later....is that hopeful thinking or maybe just something in me that God is preparing me for I don't know.  Our life has been full of new exciting things that God has been putting in order.  He has fulfilled promises left and right.  Many know we are no longer in CO and Daryl is pastoring his first church.  A bit nerve racking but peaceful at the same time.  We are expecting our 5th child soon (due the 24th).  Lots of new you know.  We have had some rough times but we have learned (and are learning) to trust God. 

School has been hard to do the past couple of days.  All I want to do is sleep sleep sleep.  I have done alot of hanging out in my room.  I feel like a bum!  I need to so get motivated and the day is 3/4 over.  Church is tonight at 6 pm, prayer meeting tonight then tomorrow auxillary service.  We are going to have to start supper in about 45 minutes.  We are going to have left overs again but I am not complaining.  Left overs have been great.  We had a fellowship Sunday after church and had so much food left (everyone left it for us).  It has been a blessing.  We just finished off the last of the steak last night.....sad.  It was really thin skirt steak that was marinaded in chimoya(I think that is how it is spelled)  We have a pot of beans, left over ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans this amazing salsa that Sis. Yolanda made (it makes me sweat but it so good!)  We have been frying corn tortillas and making tostadas.  Yummy!!

I am skyping Sis Janis right now and how exciting the two of us are.  We are sitting here not saying much of anything haha.  We are boring sorts of people.  (I am anyway)

Well, I need to probably skiddadle......we'll catch you on the flip side.
