SERIOUSLY

I just fell down the stairs again. It wasn't that bad this time, I'm not worried about it. I'm just a little sore again!!! Josh is not very happy, he took my socks away from me. They were the same socks I was wearing the first time I fell.

Maybe I'll put myself on bed rest for the last couple weeks....ha....ya right, with Ayva and Cheyenne who could be on bed rest.

Wish me luck!

A finished project

I finally finished a project...among many!!!

The girls had no idea what I was doing until I finally assembled it all together and they loved them. They could even tell which one was theirs.

Next project....baby bedding! Cross your fingers, hopefully I can get it done before she comes!

Random update

Not much going on here besides constantly getting colds. I'm tempted to quarantine us to our house. I'm so tired of being sick because I get them one right after another. Right now I'm currently suffering with this coughing cold for the past 2 weeks and last night I either pulled some muscles or something from all the coughing. It's now painful to cough and doesn't seem to be going away.

I know I'm complaining, sorry. I feel dumb for complaining too because of my sister and our friend's twin pregnancy experience. Apparently, it takes a physical toll on the body and was the hardest physical (and I'm sure emotionally) experience they've had. So for me complaining about all this makes me feel like a wimp.

I also need to stop complaining about all this because I've been waiting about 2 1/2 years for this little one to come to our family so I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THIS!!!

So, not much going on here. The girls are in their PJs most of the time, even when I have to run an errand. I try to get them out of the house but gets a little hard. We go on little bike rides to the park down the street and they run errands with me. I finally got Ayva signed up for gymnastics class and she LOVES it! It's been fun to see her try to figure things out. I'm also trying to teach them how to pick up after themselves when it comes to their toys....and boy has that been an ordeal. Lots of crying from Cheyenne telling me that "I'm tired of cleaning up" or "My legs are tired" or "My arms are hurting from picking up". Seriously, this kid can come up with all sorts of excuses, I had no idea it started this soon. It cracks me up, the stuff she comes up with.

I've got my 3 online classes that I work on at night when everyone else goes to bed. They're not bad classes at all, just busy work stuff but still stresses me out because I have to get my assignments in on time.

I'm also trying to work on organizing this house before the little one gets here. 2 more weekly doctor appointments and she'll be here. She's set to be here about April 7 or 8. I have a "to do" list about 30 items long to accomplish before she gets here. I have my doubts that I'll accomplish this list.

We're just trying to live life for the next few weeks so nothing too exciting going on here.

Happy Birthday Ayva!!!

My oldest just turned 5 today and yes, I've been emotional about it. I can't imagine why, my emotions have been quite elevated lately.

She has been a blessing to us and a wonderful little girl. She will be an amazing women and I am so proud and honored to be her mother.

She loves and adores her sister (even though they fight...all the time)! She's very protective of her and will be a wonderful example for her sisters.

Happy Birthday baby girl!!!

Love you!!

More on her birthday to come.

What do I have to do...

to stop injuring myself before this baby comes?

Yesterday I took the girls out riding bikes and to the neighborhood park. We didn't last too long out there because Cheyenne started complaining that her hands were hurting (cold). It was a bit cold and I HATE being out in the cold but I tried to suck it up and stay out there for the girlies. Luckily they wanted to go home.

We got right in front of our house and Cheyenne just stopped, she was complaining that her legs wouldn't work anymore and couldn't pedal the bike. Really. Oh goodness, she's the ultimate diva!

As she was trying to get off the bike she pushed it back so I took a step back and twisted my ankle. Oh it hurt so bad I just stood there, at the bottom of our driveway, trying not to look like a complete fool in front of my neighbors. I'm sure my face gave it away though. So I hobbled up the driveway and into the house. It seemed to be ok after a while so I took the girls to the mall to play there.

It felt just fine all day until last night when I finally sat down for a rest and I could just feel it swell up and hurt whenever I put pressure on it.

Seriously, I think we need to invest in some kind of bubble device (Seinfeld) and just live in that until she comes.

Has anyone else out there been this clumsy when you were pregnant?? Granted, 3 injuries doesn't seem like a lot but it sure feels like it when you are pregnant and can only take Tylenol.

Hello blog

Well it's been a while. Not much going on here, just life. I have about 6 weeks left until we welcome a new addition to the family and it hit me last week....I've got to get all these projects done that I've had lined up for long time now. So here's the first project and I started on these like a year ago. I finally finished and the girls loved them and were so excited to wear them to church.

Granted, I know they look homemade but my girls loved them and that makes me happy. Now, I'm no where near the level as my sis-in-law Leisel but maybe if I keep working at it.

Now here's a little baby lovin'!!!

Just look at those adorable little girls, Steph says that they love to snuggle with each other.
