34 Weeks and Counting



At 34 weeks I cannot WAIT to have this baby!

Every time we drive by the hospital I can't wait for that first contraction that sets off the process of labor. Then to go in and have the nurses wait on me hand and foot, lay in a hospital bed and not see a dirty house, have all my meals cooked and served to me (no matter what they taste like), and of course have a new little baby.

I also can't wait to see how Monty handles getting Jaida ready for school in the morning, cooking meals, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and getting things ready for me to come home.

Okay, let's be honest, I'm sure I'll only be gone one or two days, Misty will come and clean the entire house, and the kids will eat Mcdonald's, pizza and cereal for meals. :)

What I dread now...
The weeks before actually having the baby, the sleepless nights, aching legs, back and bottom. Waddling around the house in pain, not being able to hold Joey easily, only fitting into a couple of pants now, getting Joey to sleep in his own bed, and lastly coming up with a name for the new baby!

What I enjoy now...
Feeling the baby move, the look of surprise on the girls' faces when they feel the baby move, having the kids rub lotion on my giant belly, and having Monty be overly concerned when walking through an icy parking lot.

Christmas 2009, New Year's 2010




I think that one of my resolutions is to blog more. However that of course means less journal writing, so who knows?? We did do resolutions one night at Misty's. If you look in the last picture you can see the big mirror with writing all over it. A couple of our (our family) resolutions are to be nicer to each other, get the Trailblazer fixed, and get a larger vehicle.

The kids LOVED Christmas! This year we just had to travel to Misty's house to spend it with all the Fielding's.

Santa brought the girls what they asked for. Jaida: a Nintendo DS; Kayla: red sparkly shoes, a wedding barbie, and a secret note writer; Joey: cars.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

New Years was not as fun. Me, Kayla and Joey were asleep by 10:30pm but Monty and Jaida stayed up. The next day I asked Jaida if she had fun last night and she said, "No!" I asked why not and she said, "I don't know, I just thought it would be more fun."

I think that all she and Monty did was watch the boring ball drop...yawn!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
