35 Weeks

I can't Believe how fast it has gone this time. We picked up the Birthing pool today and I have the birth kit together so I guess were just waiting for him to make his appearance.

The kids are so excited and are really anxious for him to come. Grace thinks we can talk to him and convince him that it is time. She is so cute, she just wants to hold him and rock him to sleep.

I of course just hope it happens with the kids already home ( weekend would be great ) So we don't have to rush to pick them up from school.

All of the kids have important jobs to do at the birth so there is no way their missing it. ( they would be devastated ) Avery is really excited, he has the very important job of cutting the cord after he knows all of the blood gets to the baby. ( he is very series about this to and has asked all of the necessary questions.) I am so lucky to have really great kids that are just so into this and not concerned or nervous at all and I know we will all be so happy we did this and it will bring the kids even closer to each other and will give them a special bond with their new baby brother.

First Day of School 8/19/08

Today could have been really sad and lonely with the kids back at school. Avery started 3rd grade, Abby 1st ( full day ) It's just Grace and I till the baby comes. Grandma and Grandpa asked to take Grace today since the big kids would be gone and Gracie I know will miss them like crazy. David took the day off so that he could be with me and maybe I wouldn't be so sad with all of the kids gone today.

David and I went to lunch and did some shopping, It really did help because by time I picked up Grace and got home it was time to get the kids.

Avery and Abby said they Loved school and have made many new friends along with the old friends from last year, It is always a relief when they come home from school happy. All of our children are very social and not afraid to speak there mind. ( Not that they had a chance since David and I are both very verbal and opinionated ) I think it is crucial today for our children to be not only kind and compassionate but to also believe in themselves and fight for what is right. As long as they do that, they will do well in their life and I will always be here to cheer them on and Of course count the minutes till they come home. LOL
