We are all anticipating baby number four. I think especially me. All of our babies have come at 39 weeks, so I've told my kids it will come about Valentine's Days. But as they realized that yesterday was Valentine's, and still Mom had a growing, moving belly and the house was short of a cooing, crying baby, they all started to ask why baby wasn't here yet. I'm wondering too. I now feel overdue. I thought I only had 39 week pregnancies. I'll try to be patient, but time is definitely moving slower. We are so excited to add another special little person to our home coming soon!
Bella is curious about baby. I apparently need to make it look more enticing and magical because she has commented, "I dont want to grow up and have children", while looking at my tummy. She does carry her dolls around with the name of "Tommy" and takes care of them. I think she'll change her mind, say twenty years down the road. I thankful for all my babies.
Charlie is very curious about this pregnancy. Always full of questions and interested in growing Mommy. My favorite was him cuddling up to me one night, rubbing my arm, and commenting so sweetly, "I love you even when you are fat." It made me smile. I don't think Charlie is to in to outer appearance, but in almost all his prayers he prays that "Mommy will be cute and that Daddy will be strong." Such a funny boy. I'm thankful for the prayers.
James is getting so big and smart. He recently was in his school spelling bee. He was one of two to represent his class. Well, being new at this I didn't realize that he was the youngest child and that they were against all other grades and classes. Seriously. We were proud of him as he stood in front of the school and tried to spell his work "auburn" o-b-o-r-n. Well, we only practiced second grade words this was a fourth grade word and I guess it kind of sounds familiar. I was happy that he came home proud of himself. He is excited for baby too and I think and hope will be a big help.
Such a sweet, little family to Love and so excited to add another little lover!
We had such a fun Halloween with our little zombie, dead pirate and fairy princess and wow it seemed to last three days. We have all had enough candy, donuts, and more goodies to last us until hopefully next Halloween or maybe just Christmas. Rich and I relived the "glory days" wearing our old high school uniforms. We'll just say they didn't fit like they used to. It made me laugh when I got my uniform on and Bella said, "Mom you look so pretty." Her preferred outfit is pretty much anything with a skirt over it, so I think she loved that I was sporting the same look even if the skirt was over 6 inches from buttoning. Katie and I are both about 5 month along! Happy Halloween!
