Lord willing, this time tomorrow our baby girl will be in our arms.

Our faith is in Christ Alone.

NOW, Just for funnzies:

Here was Kylee & Jaxon at the hospital when they were born. Look alike???

I wonder who she will look like!!!

Teeth

I forgot to tell you that I got my braces off a week ago; maybe I kind of felt like I was in junior high or something. :) I had them on for about 10 months, and they put in a permanent bottom retainer that would last me forever.

Today, I broke it while eating a chip at Rosa's. It was just hanging on, so I had to go and get it re-done today. Hopefully, this time it will last forever.

While I am speaking of teeth, Addisyn lost her very 1st tooth today at Kindergarten. She is so cute!!! Yesterday, I saw it, and it was really loose. She told us that "Mrs. Holik was the best at pulling everyone's teeth. In fact, all the Kindergartener's come to her class to get there teeth pulled." She is absolutely the cutest kid I have seen with a lost tooth. And then again, maybe it was the cute pigtails she had in her hair. She is hoping the Tooth Fairy will come tonight.

Sweetie Pie's

Brother & sister are always so loving to each other,

(or in this particular moment they were)

They never make us scream and say "why-oh-why",

These siblings of ours,

They're our sweetie pies!!!

And I love pie!!! :)

The Important Stuff

We finally got the important stuff out: the swing, bassinet, bouncer, and excersaucer out of the attic yesterday.

I really thought we were ready for this baby, but I don't think we were until, now. Now, I think we are ready. I washed and dried all the pads and stuff, so it fresh and clean.

The kids think we just brought down "toys" for them to play with.

Jaxon immediately just starts swinging at all the toys with one arm, and bouncing everything that bounces as fast as he could, and climbs in everything.

Kylee immediately packed a "diaper bag" and grabbed her baby, and has been talking and playing with her baby in the swing, exersaucer, and bouncer ever since.

Kind of cute, but

Kind of not.

Knowing I will have to keep a eagle eye on all of the "toys" since they think they are theirs to play with after she gets here.

Speaking of her getting here. I just don't know. I feel pressure, contracting, and pain nearly all the time, and I know my body is doing what it is supposed to, I just wish she would come.

And I literally need to have her because I am scaring everybody at church with how big my belly is, and how stretched your clothes can get. :) I'm pretty sure of it.

Speaking of important stuff, I have been looking online for the kids Easter outfits and kids swimsuits. I knew I was crazy about stuff like this, but I think I have gone overboard. I made a Word Document and copy and pasted over 12 possible dresses for Kylee. LOSER!!

Important things, I tell ya.

Happy Monday!!

Marching On

Whew!! Made it to MARCH!!! So excited to meet this little girl. Last night I had a dream and I saw exactly what she looked like. She was beautiful. Now, of course, I don't know what she will look like, but it seemed so real in the dream, like it was who she was meant to be. It stuck in my mind.

We are marching forward in progress around here.

Jason is on the tractor from 7am-7pm these days trying to get some fields plowed before she gets here.

I have been kind of lazy, but over the past few weeks and month I have been trying to get things ready.

I knew I was going to try to put more toys in Jaxon's room since eventually the crib and twin bed will be in the girls room.

I ordered these 2 bookcases from Land of Nod. I am liking them alot!! The hardest thing has been finding baskets to fit.

We have rearranged some things in Kylee's room. I think she is nervous about losing all "her stuff." We have told her and told her, that the new baby is not going to "take" any of her stuff.

So, her bed for now is staying in the corner, not against the wall.

I hate storing hairbows. I don't know how to. So, now I have bought a letter, and plan on buying another letter, and hanging more. Jaxon only pulled bows down once.

Again, I had the hardest time finding baskets. These still have the tags on them because I'm not quite sure.

I have washed and bleached baby toys. Probably need to do it again before she comes since the 2 olders have been sucking on them and playing with them.


I oxi cleaned some hairbows and headbands. Now where set!! :)

This has been the PAIN IN MY BUTT!!

Seriously, mounds of pictures needing a place to go, and scrabbooks needing to be finished.

But, I am happy to say, after catching up on printing pictures, which I was like over 300 behind. I have all of them in albums, just waiting on the last few to come in the mail to be fully caught up to the present time.

It feels good to march forward in this process!!
