Growing and growing!

Time seems to fly until you reach a certain point, and I am now at that point! It's so hard to believe that I am more than half way through the pregnancy, but at the same time the last few weeks have felt so drug out. So here I am, 24 weeks and counting. Only 16 to go, but I have a feeling that the next 16 weeks are going to take a long time!
And thank you Michaela, for the cute top, I love it!

Awe, 22 weeks and counting!

This is for all you little kiddies who wait so anxiously for new belly pics! This is what I look like at 22 weeks! We're half way there, and I am starting to really feel it. This whole pregnancy thing was so much easier to do when I was 20 and 21, now at 27 I feel like i'm falling apart! But i',m half way through now, so I think I can stick it out a few more months!
Now you all know what I look like without any make up on! LOL, I guess I could have atleast tried! Love you all!

Baby blues......

So here we are, another ultrasound, and still we do not know if baby is a boy or a girl. We got to see some great shots of baby's feet! All ten perfect little toes, so we know that baby is developing well. The heart looks good, and the upper lip, but still no shot of the genitalia! But we will get another shot on October 30th, apparently the placenta is still low there fore we will be getting another ultra sound. Thank heavens for insurance is all I have to say!

getting older......what does that say about their mom!

Well as much as I hate to admit it, it's that time of year again! My babies are getting much too old. If any of you know of a way to keep them small a little bit longer, I would be grateful for the advise! But since I haven't found that miricle cure for aging, my children have once again become a year older! Yesterday was their birthday party, and today my little man is 6 years old, on the 10th baby girl turns 7, not much of a baby any more! My how time flies. It seams like only yesterday they were little babies who slept, ate pooped and cuddled. Now that the easy part is over all I have left of my babies is 2 old monsters!

The biggest change I have experienced as the kids have gotten older is the increasing number of other kids at their party. When they were little we would invite close family and friends and there was a minimum number of children. Now when we have birthday parties the children usually out number the adults! We now experience the true essence of a child's birthday party! The other big change is the number of toys they receive at the party. As babies they were given a lot of cloths, but now it's toy central. (just for reference, it took me 2 1/2 hours this morning to remove these toys from their insanely

complex packaging) And now that my fingers hurt from opening and assembling, and now that all of the screaming yelling, and running has stopped, it's time to clean my kitchen and try to restore my home to it's original state! All and all, I have to say that the party was a success, and we had so much fun with everybody! Thank you to every one who came and celebrated their birthdays, and for those who didn't make it, we miss you, and hope to see you soon!

As a side note, I would like to mention one very important lesson which I learned. My house is not ready for baby! Having a one and two year old in the house made that very clear to me!!! But what can I say?? I have a 6 and 7 year old!!

Love you all!
