I can't believe the week went by so fast! Nothing major going on around here - just getting much needed rest and keeping Erin out of trouble! She is quite the character as far as her clothes go (another Brooke, oh no!:)). She really comes out of her room with some get-ups on! Yesterday she had a summer top on most of the day and then her bathing suit, hat and gloves after Daddy got home from work. She was ready to go swimmin and snowmanning all at once! Two nights ago, she had to sleep on the baby's crib mattress on the floor in her room. She fell off it twice in the night! I should set the crib up, but want to keep her room spacious until the last minute, I guess. Curt and Isaac have been video gameaholics this week. I need to figure out a reward system for that thing - Saturday, I made them quit playing for awhile and come upstairs. I told them if they wanted to play later, they had to figure out some other things to do (read some books, play with star wars stuff, etc.), anything but video games or TV. It's a great way to get chores done as well! I always try charts and things, but it always seems to work at first and then fall away! The girls are busy as always, babysitting, working, church stuff. I can hardly keep up with them! We didn't do anything special this weekend - just hung out! Yesterday was my day for catching up laundry and picking the house up from the weekend. I had a few more nights of insomnia, so I didn't feel well at all by 6pm last night. Trying to get tax stuff together and census forms filled out, etc. Very stressful at times!
On a sad note, Justin passed away Sunday morning just after midnight. He was 15 yrs old and had fought cancer for the last 3 years! Praise God he is no longer in pain and has been healed from this terrible disease! Please pray for his family, his funeral is tomorrow. He had a peace the last week that passes all of our understanding, so I'm hoping that he knew Christ as his Saviour and is now in Heaven.
Well, 34 weeks and counting:) In some ways I don't want it to go by too fast, but in others... I feel so big this time! Nothing fits loose like I like it, anyway! My legs and feet and hands are swollen and my legs hurt if I stand for too long (lovely varicose veins, aren't they?). Even my belly gets sore if I am on my feet too long! Isaac told me the other day that my belly was getting huge! He also said another part as well (behind my belly), but we won't talk about that! Kids - so brutally honest when they're young! They still haven't called to schedule my C-Section so I'm thinking maybe this little one will just pick it's own birthday! No names yet which is driving Amber crazy! But, she'll get a name soon enough!
Ok, time to go and get motivated - have a great day!
