How will I survive?

Sometimes I ask myself questions. Like...

Will I ever, EVER get a full nights sleep again?

Should I just throw out that bag of size small clothes that I've been holding onto until they fit again?

With 4 people dirtying a house, but only one picking it up, will it ever be truly clean?

Is it possible to save enough money to take a family of 5 on an extended trip to Italy before I'm 35?

Is there any way to get rid of these sneaky gray hairs or developing facial wrinkles?!

How much bigger will this belly get before baby girl comes?

How long will it take for this belly to be not so big once baby girl comes?

Am I crazy?

How will I survive?

Drum roll, puh lease.....

It's another girl. Yes, we will be having baby girl #3 in a few months. In my heart, I knew it already. But that didn't stop me from hoping. And praying. And hoping. And praying. And getting a long list of boy names ready. And thinning out the girls clothes stash. And... Still, seeing the little girl parts on the screen at the ultrasound this morning, I was in a state of shock. Three girls, three years and under? How will we ever afford the fashion upkeep? The endless hair products and accessories? The proms? The weddings?!?! Am I getting ahead of myself? As I lay on the table in the doctor's office, I just looked over at Nick and said.... "Well, Nick. In six months we can start trying for that boy!"

Tough Stuff

Well, Miss T got her first real shiner. She was rough housing in the bouncy house with cousin Logan... and here's the result. My baby girl's first black eye.

Giddyup!!!!

Uncle Adam took the kids on a little pony ride while we were at the swap meet in Roseville. The lady was so nice, she let the two little ones go around several more times than the sign stated. Logan and Talullah were pretty thrilled. You won't catch this frugal momma forking over $5 bucks per kid for a 3 minute pony ride. So glad Uncle Adam just wanted to see the kids be happy. I love family.

The Sacramento Zoo

We went for a weekend visit to see my brother and his family. Kathy and I had such a great time! We took the kids to the Sacramento zoo, which was a huge hit. The best attraction was definitely the giraffes. Poor Logan and Berlyn experienced much of the zoo while strapped into the stroller, but they were happy nonetheless.

The man I love

I'm so glad I get to live with this man and see this wonderful smile every single day.
