Just a few things...

• I am ready to have this baby. I am 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant.
  
• I do my hair every 12-ish hours so if I spontaneously go into labor I know my hair will be looking good.
  
• My wedding ring doesn't fit, this is the first time ever.
  
• I'm not sleeping very well any more, it's too hard to just "roll over!"
• I take my contacts out early at night, so that if I spontaneously go into labor in the middle of the night, my eyes will have had time to breathe before I put my contacts back in...I just can't have a baby while wearing my glasses...Vain much?
  
• I crave Dr. Pepper, I prefer the fountain version. :)
  
• My favorite food this pregnancy has been Pizza and anything yumtastic with bread..like potato soup in a bread bowl...or just plain crescent rolls.
• I've been pregnant for half of the time I've been married, that's 38 months pregnant!
  
• I do not feel fat or ugly, I've loved being pregnant. =)
  

Come on out Baby 4, we're ready for you!

Tid Bits

3 days ago I put a new toilet seat on the potty that the kids use (it's been broken for a few months)...
Ben - LOOK EVEY! THE POTTY HAS A LID!
Ev- OH MY Dosh!
Ben - Now Addy won't be putting her hands in the water!
Ev - Ben, it is SO beautiful!
Ben - I know!

Yesterday we were doing an art project, we collected leaves to put between contact paper and make a mobile.

Ben - I really got some nice leaves out there today.
Me- yes, you did
Ben - look at this red one? it's so great.
Me - yep, it really looks good.
Ben - I know, I love art.

Ev being sweet to Addy after she fell and got hurt.

Addy - crying
Ev - oh, baby! are you okay? do you want your "baynbee" (what Addy calls her blankie)
It's okay, lets go tell mommy! (holds her hand brings her to me)

18 Months

Miss Addyson is 18 months old!

She is turning into such a little person. I really can't believe all the words she says and how she holds her own with her brother and sister.

She loves to run.

She screams when she gets excited.

She loves to feel like one of the big kids. (I am always a little sad when she can't stay at preschool with Ben and Ev. )

She says a ton of words now and her cuteness cracks us all up every day.

She has a stubborn streak too, and doesn't really take crap from anyone.

She loves to go for rides in the power wheels jeep.

She loves going for rides.

When she knows she's naughty she puts herself on time out...cutest thing ever.

She loves alone time without her brother and sister..which is why preschool has been a great thing for us! I love the time we get to have each week. She is cute and cracks me up.

She is kind of moving into the DIY stage of toddlerhood, she is trying to dress herself, likes brushing her hair, takes off her diaper, and she can put on certain pairs of shoes.

She has 9 teeth. 5 on the top and 3 on the bottom.

She wears size 24 month clothes and a 6 shoe! I have to take her for her 18 month well baby exam still..on our scale she weighs 24 pounds (Evey weighs 28!)

My favorite thing she does now is when she shakes her head yes. She shakes her whole body and it's adorable.

Rick's favorite thing is when he comes home from work, she runs to give him a hug, but always backs up into him and snuggles into his lap.

What else....she loves her baby dolls and her blankie (she calls it a baym-bie)....

Happy 18 months Addy girl, we love you to pieces!

First Day of School!

Ben & Ev went to preschool today, they both loved it and did really well. They love their teachers and their classroom.

What was the best part about preschool today?

Ben - Umm I really like painting a lot and we played on the playground.

Ev - I like girls that I like and drawing, and they have a little potty there.

Did you make any friends?

Ben - No, but I played with Lucy a long day. We have two Lucy's in our class but I like the one with the pig tails.

Ev - I don't have any friends, but I played with Lucy too.

Who is your favorite teacher today?

Ben - I like Mrs. Sue, she is very nice.

Ev - I like Mrs Sue too, and the one with the red shirt.

Did you miss me while you were at school?

Ben - I missed you, but I didn't cry when you left me.

Ev - I missed you just only a little bit, but not a lot, but a little bit because you were coming right back for us, but I only missed you a little bit.

Addy was sad she didn't get to stay at school, but we had a fun day shopping and she did get her new shoes, which she wore for the rest of the afternoon. =) It was a good day.

tidbits 2

Ben reading to Addy - "one ponce a time a doe there was a verrrry big but-tano and all the dinosaurs were so so scared they went to reindeer mountain..."

That would be, once upon a time ago there was a verry big volcano and all the dinosaurs were so scared they went to mt. rainier. :)

Evey modeling her new fall clothes - "Hey Ben, check me out, I look so good. Really good. Mommy got all these new clothes just for me. You look pretty good too."
