The last few days as the baby

I really thought she was going to be the last one.

After all , I have been having babies since I was 17 years old.

But God has a sense of humor I guess. And thought I needed one more.

It was not planned. But so few good things in life are.

I am days/weeks ( depending on who you ask) away from delivering our baby.

A baby BOY !

In the mean time it's bitter sweet with Myka. She is growing up. So not the baby anymore.

But a little part of me is sad to see her not be the baby anymore.

I had a crazy dream last night that I delivered the baby. By myself ,in my bed , while I was sleeping !

The night before I had a dream that someone knocked on our door at 3 am and he was driving a u-haul truck. 

Then all of the sudden there was a block party and my husband was beating the neighbor up.

I have no idea folks.

Crazyness invades my mind while I sleep.

As long as anxiety stays away I am good. I tend to get very anxious towards the end of my pregnancies.

Probably from lack of sleep ( i swear i sleep better with a new born baby then I do while pregnant) . When I was in labor with Myka I had awful panic attacks the whole time. I am praying that God gives me peace this time.God will. Because he is faithful . 

Off to go cuddle my baby big girl.

The stooby hat

Myka loves her stobby hat.

Myka just spilled Ice cream on my bed.

I am not really even sure where the ice cream came from.

Its a good thing she looks so cute in her stobby hat

I was stalking reading my friend Jeanettes blog when I saw this little contest.

The theme is bath time pictures.

I had one that came to mind.


Now run on over and check out her blog and join in the fun !

I would kill for another apple.......

I am hungry.
This diet is hard.
I am eating almost two meals worth of food tomorrow morning so I am sure I have energy for the wedding I am shooting tomorrow.
Then when I get home ....

TWO APPLES !!!

Not sure what the HA was for there , but it felt appropriate.

perhaps our eyes need to be washed with tears so we can see clearly again.
Alex Tan Today my eyes are getting a good washing.  I am extra emotional because i have not been sleeping well. make that Myka has not been sleeping well. She is complaining her nose hurts. She did take a tumble off a chair the other day. But her cute nose does not appear to be in any distress. Today my mom moved to the other side of the world. Ok so more like the country. But still. Wisconsin may as well be japan when you have three kids and no money for air line travel. We hugged goodbye this morning before i headed out the door to bible study. I couldn't watch her drive away. I just couldn't handle the tearful goodbye. I made it short and sweet, And have been crying my eyes out since I got home from bible study. I know I will be ok . i need to put my big girl panties on. But I think its ok to still want your mom when you are 28 years old. Maybe I'm just a baby. Lexi went off to school in tears. She didn't hide her emotions about Grandma leaving at all. She thinks it sucks. And so do I. I am off to clean house when my body wants to nap. But i am scared if I nap I will be crabbier then when I fell asleep. I bought some lemons and limes I want to chop up and put in a vase. I wanted to do this yesterday. But then i started thinking about how expensive fresh flowers were. But then I opened my front door and saw the sweetest little yellow flowers that are growing right outside my door. Fresh flowers right outside my door !! Flowers i walk by everyday and never notice. Exactly what i need to cheer me up on a day like today. Sometimes in life its the small things.

Things I loved about today

Myka drinking milk from her cereal bowl ( who taught her to do this ?? )



The result of myka drinking milk from her cereal bowl . And I want to add the only reason I liked this part was because I thought the fruit loops and milk looked like a cool picture. i was right.

Myka watching TV while i cleaned the kitchen. I hate using the TV as a babysitter. But it is nice to have something to entertain them for 15 minutes while you make a phone call, do the dishes, write a e mail, go to the bathroom ALL BY YOURSELF !!



And stumbling across this tutorial while I was googling ways to change my blog up  bit. I posted a full tutorial over at laurenjean. But basically i found a way to make my nifty fifty a macro lens, and took this pic.

So what did you love about today ?? And can anyone tell me how to make the column wider so i can post bigger pictures ??
