Moving!

Well, we are moving yet again. We applied for bigger post housing way back in February when we found out we were expecting our third baby. I got the call two weeks ago to let us know we can come get our keys on September 2nd. YAY! We have to hand in the old house keys on the 16th. That gives me two weeks to get everything over to the new house and to clean the old place. I am a little sad to be moving though. Our neighbors here are awesome and the kids all play together so well. But, the new place is SO much bigger! We are going from 1250 sq. ft. to 2011 sq. ft. Plus we will have a garage, a fenced in garage and a HUGE walk in closet in our room and a full master bath. Ahhhhh....yes I can't wait. It is just in time too. I can't wait to get settled in and get ready for the baby! I just realized that I haven't put pictures on here in AGES! I will post later and put new pictures up.

Jeremy has been making fantastic progress with his weight! He lost 8 pounds last month and 7 pounds this month. I think that if he continues that, we will be calling him Sergeant soon! He looks really good. I have to be very careful with what I am cooking and what I have for snacks here. Being 8 months pregnant, this is sometimes a very difficult task.

My girls are getting so big! Leah started 3 year old preschool a couple weeks back and she LOVES it. She tells Lauren and I all about it when we pick her up after school. Lauren hangs on every word too. Lauren and I have really been enjoying the alone time together. She is such a funny little thing. Not that I ignore her when Leah is around, but it is fun to really see her personality shining when Leah is at school. She is a jokester. She likes to make really funny faces. But she gets embarrassed if anyone but Mommy sees her. Leah is VERY excited to have her baby brother. She keeps asking me "Mommy, is Micah going to come in 2 days?". She is always disappointed when I tell her no that it will be longer than that. Both of the girls really love babies, so I am hpoing it isn't too hard for them when Micah does make his arrival. We were so worried about Leah acting up when Lauren was born. But she loved her baby sister and thought she was the sweetest baby you ever did see. So, I am hoping that it goes as well this time.

I have decided that I don't want to have any more babies. It may be the third trimester talking. But I am pretty sure that this baby is it for us. We aren't going to do anything super permanent because we could change our monds down the road. But, I am about 99.9% positive that this is it for us. I have been pregnant and/or nursing since January of 2006....with NO breaks! So, I am really ready to have my body back. I love my babies and I just plain love babies. But, this is it. I always wondered how you could be sure about your last one. Now I know how. You just know when you are having your last one. I am a little sad. I love being pregnant and I love sweet newborn skin and watching them grow. But I am ready to raise them up now. I am ready to get my body to where I want it to be. I can't wait until my kids are school age! (Well, I can....but it sounds so good some days!) I am ready to not change any more poopy diapers!! I just have the feeling that now our little (well not so little anymore) family is complete. I have two beautiful girls and now am having my son. A few years ago I would have thought that was impossible. Our fertility doctors said that wouldn't happen to us. They said my tubes were bad and I wouldn't get pregnant on my own. Well, God had a different plan for us! He blessed us with three in three years!! WOW!

Are we done???

Well, as you may know by now...we are having a baby BOY!!! We have decided on a name (for now). I say for now because it could very well change before he gets here. The name we have picked is Micah Joseph. I was in some serious SHOCK when the ultrasound lady told us we are expecting a little boy. I thought for sure this one would be another girl. NOW, the big question is....Are we done? Are we done having babies after this little guy gets here? I feel a little sad about it. But I think I might be done. I always wanted to have four kids. But we didn't think God was going to give us one. Now we are blessed with THREE! Two girls and a boy....is it time to quit? I feel now a week after the ultrasound that my family is complete. Everyone kept asking "Are you hoping for a boy?" and "Are you done after this one, if it is a boy?". I really want to get rid of stuff. I have been holding on to every stitch of clothing my girls have ever worn just in case we had another girl one day. Should I just get rid of it all and if someday we decide we want to go one more round, buy new stuff? The cheap, cheap, CHEAP part of me says "save it! What if!". The practical side of me is saying "Sell it and buy some blue stuff." What should I do?? There is a church yard sale coming up on July 18th. I need to decide before then.

Mother's Day weekend

My Mother's Day present was that Jeremy helped me put in a little flower bed along the walkway in front of our house. It turned out really pretty. Leah loved helping!! He also got me a great hanging basket for the front that I put some pretty flowers in and another hanging plant for the backyard. The one in the back is on my double shepherd's hook with the bird feeder. It has purple petunias in it. It is so nice to have a few flowers to look at now! I had such a nice Mother's Day this year. We went to a German restaurant after church that is WAY over priced for lunch. It was pretty good though. Then we hung out at home for the rest of the day. Leah kept saying "Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I love you!" It was the best. Lauren gave me extra hugs too.





We went to a little park the other day to eat our lunch and we got some cute pics of the girls. They were doing pull ups. :)






Here are a couple pictures from Jeremy's last softball game. The girls had so much fun! Leah is a stinker though. After Jeremy got out once she ran over to him and said "pewee Daddy! You stink!" hahaha He thought that was pretty funny!

win a washer and dryer!!
