Well, it's late Monday night. Due date one has passed and due date two will be here in a little over 24 hours. We are anxiously anticipating Grandma's arrival tomorrow afternoon. Thea drew this masterpiece and asked me to write the names of everyone for her. Mareea keeps saying, "I really love you, Mama" because she is just so excited about Grandma coming. They want to take lots of walks with Grandma and go to the beach with her. Landon made her an origami flying bird and taped it to the wall by where Grandma will sleep. He attached it to a string so she can "fly" it.
Wednesday night I'll be going out to eat with a couple of girlfriends here unless Sweet Baby decides to come before then. It sounds so silly now, but I'm sort of hoping she'll hold off until this weekend at least so we can get Grandma adjusted and have time to do a couple of things. However, I will just be so relieved knowing that there is someone to watch the kids when I go have the baby. It was really stressful for me worrying about it!
Here are a couple of pictures of my sweet girls before church yesterday. It's so much fun to have little girls to dress up. I can't believe that soon we will have THREE girls!! Everyone is so excited.
I don't take a ton of pictures of Gideon. He's just too busy to catch most of the time! Here he's working on some writing while I do school with his older siblings. He is so cute. I think he's going to love the baby. He's learned recently how to be gentle with the puppy dog next door and he totally understands us when we tell him to "be gentle". He has a baby doll that he pats on the back and gives kisses to. He also can make the "shhhh" sound and knows what it means. Maybe he'll be quiet more so the baby can sleep! ha! He is such a good listener and we think he is just so smart. He understand everything we tell him and is saying more words all the time. He's putting two words together sometimes which is really exciting.
I'm betting this will be my last post until the baby comes. Until then...
