Baby update

7 Weeks left!!!  We still don't have a name for this little boy.  I am feeling pretty good other than huge and uncomfortable.   I pretty much live in my sweats.  If I put something else on the girls all wonder where we are going.  I didn't really realize how much I was wearing them until I had to go to a meeting and Abby said "Can I pick you out something to where?'' I said " No, I am wearing this".  Then Izzy and Molly came in and said are you wearing that and I said yes, why?  Molly said "It doesn't look very meetish".  She is barely 4, I am going to be in trouble in a few years.  At least I probably won't go anywhere with the girls in my sweats.  Erika and I went to the grocery store and I was wearing one of Jared's t-shirts and she asked me if I would zip up my coat before we went in because it was embarrassing that I was wearing a boys shirt.  I said my coat will not zip up anymore my dear.  I have noticed a couple of moms that only have teenage daughters that are pretty well dressed and now I know why.
I am also getting pretty lazy.  I rarely go upstairs. Izzy came down and told me she was cleaning upstairs really good because someday maybe after I have the baby I will go up there again.
Needless to say as much as I really try to never wish time away.  I am wishing these next 7 weeks go quickly.  I think the rest of my family does too.  
Jared found this wood pecker stuck in the room behind the garage and brought it in to show the girls.  Yes it is still alive.  Jared is a great teacher, he is always finding fun things to show the girls.


Molly's 4!!!  The morning of her birthday she said "now I am almost 5".  She really wants to be as old as Izzy.  Molly got a Leapster, stuffed efelant, bubbles, sidewalk chalk and a bugbox for her birthday.  She really wanted a bug box to catch "boxys" (Box elder bugs that have somehow survived the winter). On her birthday Molly chose to go to the fun park and eat her favorite food, cheesy noodles.  She chose chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles.  Molly is always so happy and easy going.  She has been the princess in the family for quite a while and she has everyone wrapped around her little finger.  Everyone pretty much gives her what she wants.  She is sleeping in her own bed now.  Her and Abby share a room and she is really doing well.  She thinks she is so big to be upstairs with the big girls.  She loves her sisters more than anything in the world.  She loves each one of them but Izzy and her are BFFs.  
These are me new best friends.  I learned in my birthing class that if you are not sleeping or relaxing well then you are lacking Calcium and Magnesium.  Actually most people are.  These supplements were recommended because they are easily absorbed.  I went from waking up every hour to sleeping for 7 hours straight in about 3 days after starting these drinks twice a day.  That is good sleep for a 8 month prego lady.  I do remember vaguely trying to roll over a couple of times but not really waking up.  I also have been giving Izzy a half dose every night before bed because she is 6 and still was waking up at least once every night and after 2 nights she has not been waking up anymore.
 Abby gave Erika a certificate to go to Walmart and get her ears pierced.  We had to go that day she couldn't wait.

Please excuse the bed heads and jammies.  We have to open presents 1st thing on birthday mornings.
Erika is nine!  I can believe she is one year away from double digits. 
Erika, Erika, Erika... she is nine going on eighteen.  Erika is the fashion queen of the family (one of them at least).  Erika is one easy kid.  She is quick to get right to her school work and is usually done with everything she needs to do for the day by 11 am.  She is really loving her new DS games that she got for her birthday and her new American Girls doll Chrissa.  That makes #3 on the American girl dolls.  I just can't resist when they ask for those dolls.  I love everything about them.  Jared said I should just order myself one.  Erika is our love bug.  She gives everyone at least two long hugs and kisses every night.  She is always busy either playing, sewing, reading, cleaning (organizing), or playing DS.  She is really growing up.  She has even stayed home a few times alone and she eats just about anything well at least tries that is big for her.  I am so proud of her.  Our lives are so blessed to have her. I love her SPUNK.
