Yes, thank you Lord, for the warm weather
and for these two sunshines, tongues out and all.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
I don't imagine this is the expression Dr. Seuss was going for with Green Eggs and Ham, but at 7 in the morning this is it.
Yesterday, Owen bluntly asked if Leprechauns are real. When I said no, he concluded that the Tooth Fairy is not real either. I have a feeling there has been some talk around the lunch table :) He did however, mention with uncertainty that Santa is real. I just smiled. Don't worry we talked about not spoiling the fun for other children. I think he is secretly relieved that a "fairy" doesn't come into his bedroom while he is sleeping.
Not Puzzled
Mason can't get enough puzzles. Yesterday he worked the same 3 over and over again by himself for at least 30 minutes. Today he was at it again.

Have you Noticed?
Just in case your eyes haven't been glued to my pregnancy countdown ticker. I will just point out that it says 45 days. Yes, 45 days! That may seem like a lot or a little depending on the day, but considering Owen was 3 1/2 weeks early, that doesn't leave much time.
I have a lot of emotions running through my head these days. And sometimes they are streaming down my cheeks or in my tone of voice. It's a wonder my family hasn't kicked me out on the street.
We are all anxious to meet him. I am constantly wondering what he will look like, what his personality will be like and how he will change the dynamics of our family. I know from experience, that it will seem like there was never a day without him, but right now I can't quite imagine it. Sometimes I feel much to far from the baby stage. I know this is going to be a big adjustment for all of us. Honestly, I am pretty nervous about adding another member to this already wild house.
We are definitely anxious to be done with the bed rest "season." I feel as though my existence hasn't amounted to much lately (yes, I know growing a baby is huge). I have grown use to not doing much and so has my family. It no longer bothers me that I don't go anywhere. And I feel rotten enough that I am content not doing much either. The next few weeks should be interesting. If I can, I will be up and about by March 30th, possibly sooner depending on my Dr appt. next week. The rest will be a waiting game. At least while we wait we have 4 birthdays to celebrate, Easter and spring break.
We can't wait to meet you little man!
Oh, we do know he has lots of hair, evidently that is obvious in an ultrasound. I thought we knew his name, but EJ is having last minute jitters :)

Our Seperate Ways
Today my family went our separate ways. Mason spent last night and today with my parents. EJ took Owen to celebrate an his birthday (early) with his friend, Joshua, and dad Pat. While I had a lovely morning with lovely ladies celebrating our baby boy to come and a quiet afternoon on the couch.
Now he is busy working on a Lego set that he bought with some b'day money.
I can't even remember when I started hanging out with these ladies. It was long before Mason was born. We started out as a couple's evening bible study. With childcare as a huge issue we eventually ditched the men and formed our own group. Over the years, we've studied the bible and various books, prayed together and simply shared our lives as wives and mothers. I am so thankful for each of them. We aren't currently meeting together and so this was extra special to all be together. There is talk that we will start back up again this summer which would be awesome.
I stole these photos off Courtney's blog b/c I wanted my camera for the shower. Thanks Pat!
Owen had a great time. They meet at the Lego Outlet and then had lunch.
