I am officially ready!! I just washed my last batch of baby clothes and man does this kid have a ton of clothes!! (thanks to Celesta, Tish, Carrie and Jana...don't we love sisters and sisters-in-law!!)... One of my guilty pleasures is finding the perfect material for baby blankets! I have a closet full of blankets, but every new baby needs new baby blankets, right??!! And I don't necessarily like to make the blankets (thanks to my mom for helping!!) but I just love putting the pieces together and finding that perfect material!! My mom and I made this darling square quilt (yes, I helped a little!!) and it turned out so cute!! Now we just need the baby!!
This winter weather and the "waiting game" is driving me crazy! This has been the longest pregnancy ever!! Last week I was sick all week with the flu and a sinus infection...not a fun week! I spent most of it in bed which is kind of nice, except for the fact that sleeping with a big belly is not fun! My hips are constantly falling asleep and I am so congested even my husband can't stand my snoring! (how embarassing!! Only old men should sound the way I sound....) But, yes we did survive thanks to family for helping with the kids....
I have decided that pregnancy isn't my cup of tea. I'm not my happiest person when I'm prego and I just want my kids and my hubby to know how much I love them! I know I'm not the funnest to live with, but I do love them so much and I'm glad that they still love me enough to put up with me during this time!! My poor kids have lived in their pj's along with me! In fact, on a regular basis if you were to show up at our house all four of us would be in sweats!! (dave too, since he just works downstairs!!)
I feel very blessed to have two healthy beautiful boys- They are so much fun and I love being their mother!! I can't wait to add to the chaos and with yet another boy, I am way outnumbered!!!
Dave sent me flowers the other day and I still am not sure why. I should be the one sending him flowers but he beat me to it. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who works so hard for our family. Dave really is my rock- my solid foundation! He helps me to not be such a spoiled brat and to see the world the way the Savior looks at the world. He helps me to "be the bigger person" even though I am constantly telling him "I don't want to be the bigger person!!" I love him so much and am so grateful for the man he is! He is such an amazing dad and you can see how much the boys love him just by looking at them. Cade is such a "daddy's boy" and it really is so cute to hear him say "my want my daddy!!" - Cade gets very jealous of daddy's attention...we are in trouble when the baby gets here! And although Austin and dave have their moments (austin is too much like me...unfortunatley) Austin loves to do things with daddy....puzzles, play outside- snowmen, or playing pass...He likes his attention and is always excited to tell dad when he's done something good!
now that I've gone on and on and on...I just want my boys to know how much I love them!! Love you and I promise to be a better mom and wife!!

Great blog Jess, YOu sound more than ready for that baby to come! I dont blame you, I hated pregnancy with a passion and im getting ready to do it all again....why? I dont know!! Barfing isnt my cup of tea, but ya gotta make the sacrifices right? Your a cute mommy, your boys love you and adore you! I cant believe how much austin looks like you! Keep up your hard work, your amazing! by the way, AWESOME quilt!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
You are SO cute, Jess. What a sweet post! You are such a great mom, and ALL your boys are so lucky to have you. Can I help you with anything before the baby comes? Or, we could just play and kill some time while we wait for baby to come! :-) Call me!
I'm obsessed with that quilt..it's adorable. I love the different fabrics!! I'm glad you're feeling better. Having the flu while pregnant has to be the worst experience. Let's try to get together before the baby comes. Let me know what works for you...I"m pretty flexible.
what a cute post. you have some very cute boys.. all three of them. i am excited for you to be done. oh i feel for you having the flu with a pregnancy, its the worst. anything that you can take doesn't even help. anyway glad your feeling better now.
keep me posted... i'm thinking about you.
You're such a sweetie! What's the update? Are they inducing you?
Love you!
You can do it Jess! Only a little longer. I am starting to feel uncomfortable, and wondering if I will make it until May 5th! What are the doctors saying? I don't remember your exact date, but good luck!
Jess,
You are a amazing mom and wife. Your kids are so lucky to have you and so is Dave. I am so excited to see your new little one. I hope the next couple weeks go by fast. You know as soon as you see that little guys face you'll forget about how bad it is right now.. it is seriously amazing how that happens. We love you guys and had so much fun seeing you over Christmas.

I love the quilt! Such cute colors! Can your mom make one for me? :) I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only that is in sweats a large percentage of the time. Pretty much any time I'm home, I am in sweats or pj's and most likely my son is too cuz he's like his mom and LOVES pj's. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
