Almost there!

4 days til arrival of baby Lillie! I am scheduled for 8/8/08, for a c section, and am getting so excited! I am also getting ginormous!! I made an executive decision that last week was my last week of work, taking this upcoming week off to get last minute things together in the house, and make sure I have everything together for when we get home. Miah has been frantically trying to finish projects so he can actually enjoy the time at the hospital, and not have to bring a computer to work. I will post pictures as soon as we get home, or sooner since they have high speed internet. Thanks for all the prayers, and can't wait to celebrate in our little angel's arrival!

Boo Boo patrol

Being the sweet little guy he is, Owen has become obsessed when someone has a boo boo. Daddy just so happened to have one on his arm that was concerning Owen. He wanted to put "magic cream" and a bandaid on it to make it feel better.

After finishing, he said "all better," and finally could get back to playing. I thought this was really cute :)

Is this really surprising at all?

The best money ever spent, TMNT costumes bought 2 YEARS ago. Emma just had to wear it, and was so excited to be a turtle.

To show she is a balanced woman, she put on her princess costume and twirled around in it a bit. I am so very excited she will have a sister! Boys, watch out!!!

froggy pool!

so we splurged and got a froggy pool from dollar general for $12. woo hoo! they love it, especially since it spits water at them, which they think is awesome. It has been so hot outside that we thought this would be a nice addition to the backyard!
For two who fight so much, these two are so very sweet! Emma loves her big brothers, and from this shot, I guess they love her too!

These two shots really made me realize how old my babies are starting to look! Jacob's face has changed so much, he is turning into a little man! And Owen, also has changed so much! I guess it is the hormones, but I get all teary eyed thinking about it!! No matter, they both still are super loving and so very sweet, promising to always be my babies, and always give momma hugs is enough for me!

Yep, I am a smoosh

Ok, being a fan of all things small and cute, this is no exception. If you don't know, the story of Scooter is one of pure joy. This is the most awesome cat ever created! He is 20% dog and 80% awesome. He always sleeps with me, and one night we couldn't find him anywhere. He was asleep on top of Emma's teddy bear! I know this officially puts me further in the nerd category, but I embrace it if it can allow me to post about my baby cat that has been with us for 9 years.

little swaddled baby

Ok I know he is not a baby anymore (will always be to me) but I love wrapping Owen up in towels. I asked if he is cute, and he said "yep, I cute." He has been doing so good lately to the glory of GOD! I know that so many have been praying for him, and we can definitely see the results!! We are so terribly excited for him to start his special ed preschool this fall! For now I can just marvel in him, and in HIM that gave us this little sweetie!!!!!

Those two little letters!

So I finally am official. As of June 17th, I can proudly claim the letters RN! I have truly been enjoying working on my unit, and am beginning my 5th week of orientation. Lillie has been along for the ride with only 5 weeks left until her arrival. Everyone has been so great at work to help me out, and I am just glad to be able to relax at the end of the day without a book in my lap, but rather a baby. I know everyone is glad to end this chapter of my life, and we are all looking forward to the road ahead. Thanks again for all of the prayers and well wishes, I truly have felt so very blessed!
