An Update

I feel like I have so much to catch up on, but really, we have just been living our crazy life! Adam is loving school and I love seeing his happy face run to me every morning when we pick him up. Tessa and I have been walking to pick him up while the weather is still so warm. Adam loves his teacher and has made so many friends in his class.

Tessa keeps us on our toes. Her strong willed personality amazes us and she will not give in unless it is her idea first. She keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing! She had us laughing during General Conference this past weekend. Every time they would show the organ she would say, "Hey! There's that crazy piano again!"

Eric and I feel like we are just trying to keep our heads above water most days. Eric is loving attending BYU games, but wouldn't complain if they were playing better. He is preparing to apply to the Y this month for his Masters. He is busy at work and with church. We are thankful for how hard he works for our family!

As for this Mom, I am tired. I don't remember being this tired with the other kids. I love feeling this little one wiggle around in me and her favorite time to be active is at night while I am trying to sleep (just like her big sister). Should I be worried? I have been trying to get clothes and other essentials ready and feel like I have so much to do still! Hopefully everything on my "to do" list will get finished soon.

Today the kids and I prepared the house for Halloween. We are so excited for the holidays!

Tessa decided to wear our decorations

The kids got to carve pumpkins with Uncle Matt and their cousins yesterday. Adam is in love with his Lightning McQueen pumpkin!

The dreaded pregnancy pictures......Some people tell me I'm hardly showing and others still ask me if I'm having twins. Guess it depends on what I wear. We are on the countdown! Only 13 1/2 weeks to go. I am tired, hot, and uncomfortable. I physically feel like I am already 9 months pregnant. I can't wait to hold this little girl! Adam and Tessa are so anxious to see her and are constantly asking how much longer till she gets here.

The other night, after several nights of horrid sleep, the thought came to me that I am so excited to have this baby so I can spend one night alone in a bed! Between the baby beating me from the inside (I swear she does flips all night long) and Tessa sleeping all over me, I don't get much sleep anymore. Everyone thinks it's pretty pathetic that I am looking forward to labor and delivery just so I can get a good nights sleep.
