An Angel Has Been Born...

(Announcement made using Summertime Designs - Moments2 Plopper Page)

My smallest baby and longest labor at 20 1/2 hours long! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and got everything your hearts desired...I did. My beautiful, healthy baby girl. Have a wonderful afternoon!

Out of Contact...

It's been a while since my last post. I guess you can say that I've been a little preoccupied with the holidays, family and trying to get ready for my daughter's arrival. We had a terrible stomach bug hit our house... Yuck! It got my 3 year old first, followed by my hubby and 1 year old. Knock on wood, my 8 year old and I survived it's wrath! Thank goodness.

My mommy threw me a Baby Shower this past Saturday and it was wonderful. She had it at our church's Fellowship Hall and it was so nice to be surrounded by family and friends. My daughter received such adorable gifts, from beautiful blankets to outfits. I went from having zero girly items to a closet full of clothes for her. It was such a blessing! I'm very grateful.

After church on Sunday, my mommy went with me to buy her bedding, extra sheets, cubbies and fabric drawers for her closet. She was a great help to me!

I washed all of her bedding and some clothing, bought her crib mattress and made her bed yesterday. My mommy even stopped by and took the majority of her clothes home to help me wash all of them. Isn't she the best!

All I have left to do now is go buy baby hangers because the ones we had left over (a ton!) were sent to storage and send out my "thank you" cards to everyone that attended my shower. I'm running out of time! Mia will be here sooner rather than later. I started getting some Braxton Hicks the night-before-last and I have what my Nurse Practitioner says will be my last prenatal visit tomorrow. All of my children have come earlier than their due dates. My last baby came almost 3 weeks early! My children's great-grandmother in Virginia predicts that I'll have my daughter on December 13th, so we'll see!

Enjoy the rest of your week and stay tuned for the post on our newest arrival... ;)

Just Another November Day in Sunny California...NOT!

What season is it right now? Fall, you say. Well, you certainly wouldn't know it. It still feels like were in Summer. And how strange the weather is for creeping towards the end of November, huh?! Talk about being miserable everytime I have to set foot out of my climate-controlled house. I'm going on my 34th week of being pregnant this Friday, so this heat is getting old quick! I can't wait for the cool to set in for the holidays... Granted, I don't want it too cold because then I run the risk of my baby girl catching a cold. Afterall, she does have an 8 year old brother in school that could bring it home to her.

In other news, we had to have a plumber come out to fix the kitchen sink... It was clogged on both sides and our water wouldn't drain. But now, it's as good as new - Yea!

My house is very quiet at the moment, too! My two baby boys are currently napping and all I can hear is Spongebob in the background. NICE. I look forward to nap time... A little peace and quiet and time to think. I can check emails, blog, etc.

Anyway, I think that I may even join them for a little catnap of my own because my oldest son has early day today. I need to pick him up at 1:15pm, so a little nap will be good for me. Especially, before we start doing homework!

Hope you all have a wonderful morning, afternoon & night... Thanks for stopping by! :)
