Little Nudges

I will be 18 weeks this Wednesday. This pregnancy is creeping by! Ever since about 16 weeks I've been feeling little nudges. I can feel him rolling and kicking and poking me. He moves almost constantly! I feel so blessed to be able to experience these little movements inside. Only mothers get to feel this wonderful feeling :) The Lord has blessed me way beyond what I deserve and I am forever grateful for everything!

Monday catch up.

It's Monday. Oh joy!  The weekend was great. The kids were outside just about every minute they were awake. The pool is a big hit still. We rearranged the porch to have more room for some toys and their table and chairs. We have lunch out there and snack times.

 Once things calm down I'm sure we will be having breakfast and supper out there. I would love to move the pool to the back yard, I should look into those huge tent things to set up so we aren't in the full sun all day. 

Anyways. Today has been busy. I've been up since 6 am. Cleaned the whole house by 8. And then tried taking the kids out around 9 30 to the pool but it was cloudy and cold so we came back in. They are now down for nap time. And I'm so ready for a nap as well. But that wont happen. Laundry is still going and I'm sure there are dishes that need to be done. But I'm taking a break. We have been doing non stop all weekend with the kids outside playing and its wearing me out! This evening once the kids get up from nap time we are going to play etc. About 3 30 I need to give my two a bath and then get us all ready to go to a funereal. I'm hoping that the children do good while we are there, but I also know how they are......

Mama moments.

After a hard morning playing outside the kids were tired. Came in for the day(its way to hot out there) and look at what I found :)

               I love the way you smile, & how you seem to make a mess of everything.

I love how daring you are, even if I have multiple heart attacks a day.

I love how you play, although it isn't always nicely. 

I love how you care, always willing to give hugs and kisses. Your slobbery kisses are some of the best kisses out there:).

I love you, my little man. Never afraid of anything, always giving kisses and hugs, the sweetest rotten boy I know.
