Whirlwind September Ending!

















Yay, we finally have a new baby. He is beautiful and healthy! What a blessing. He weighed 9 lbs. 11 oz. and is our biggest baby yet. He was born Sunday evening, the 28th, at about 9:55. I'll type more later, but for now I'm pressed for time.

Also, Jenna turned 6 today and is having a very happy birthday. She got to go to the store and pick out a toy with the money her granny Trish sent her. She picked some bath doll and really likes it. I made her a Candy Land cake about a week ago, just in case I had Josiah, and it turned out to be a good strategy, so all went well.

I added a few pictures for you all to enjoy. Hope to be writing again soon! Sorry this post turned out a little less than perfect.

Ryan Turns 4!



I can't believe Ryan is 4 now! He's growing up so quickly. He asked yesterday if he could start school now that he's four, lol. I guess he'll be ready when it's time.

He had a good birthday. He wanted a McQueen cake, again, so I did my best. And with Ryan, anything with wheels makes him happy so, since we didn't go to the beach, we got him a Power Wheels F-150. He seems to really be enjoying it.

We are still waiting on Josiah. I can feel some very slight pre-labor type pains, but still nothing to be overly concerned about. Maybe this week or next week he'll be born. Sigh, we'll see, we'll see.

It's way early here and I am starting to feel tired now. Maybe I can get in a couple hours of sleep before everyone wakes up.....

Ahhh, September!

I wish I could say that it's cooling off, but really it's not. We have had quite a few overcast days, but with very little rain. Overall, I guess on average it has cooled off to about the lower 90's each day instead of the usual lower 100's. I am still holding out for the real fall weather change.

We had a good Labor Day. Angie and her husband Steven stopped by and it was good to get to see her and talk to her. She doesn't get much time off from work so it was really nice that she and Steven were off on the same day.

Ryan's birthday is comming up this Sunday. He will be 4! He told me that he saw his gift in the garage yesterday, so we went ahead and assembled it and he ended up sleeping on the couch next to it. It is a ride on monster truck thing. We are still charging the battery though, so he just pretended yesterday and then when he was through pretending to ride it, he pretended to work on it, haha! He is so sweet. I really think he will enjoy working on and driving cars when he is older.

Mike and I are also celebrating our 12th anniversary this week. We don't have anything extra special planned. I am still just kind of wanting to relax. Though I would have enjoyed going to Port A this week. I have also thought about a short trip to Carlsbad Caverns, that would be fun and close, but we'll just have to see.

So far I have not had much indication that we will be having a baby anytime soon. My contractions have been anything but painful and so few and far between. I know this isn't going to last forever, but it sure seems like it is. At least I am much more comfortable than past pregnancies, mostly due to good Chiropractic care I believe. I don't want him to be born too early, but early would be okay with me. Tomorrow marks the end of week 36 so anytime after week 37 would be just fine with me. I'll probably be late though, just because I'm so anxious this time. I'll try and keep my blog here updated.
