nesting???

I have had so much energy the last few days. I have just been so restless! The last two days I have... went to almost every store imaginable just to browse..(okay I have spent a little money), cleaned the kitchen (this includes the inside and outside for that matter of stove, microwave and fridge and mopping the floor), cleaned both bathrooms (including scrubbing the tubs) gave the dog a bath (complete with blowdry and brushing), cleaning out my husband's nasty, nasty car (including getting out the carpet shampooer and cleaning the seats and floors) and rearrange our dvd collection. I'm sure I am forgetting something that I did!
Some of my freinds are saying that I am nesting and that Baby Noah is on his way!!! I have about 2 weeks and a few days till my due date!! So we will see if I make it! I'm ready to see my baby boy!!!

The nursery is finally done, now all we need is a baby boy to put in it!!!!

34 week ultrasound!

Today we had our 34 week ultrasound. They were running an hour and half behind!!! Noah weighs 5 pounds 11 oz. They said if he goes to term he will be 8 pounds!!

I was so tired of waiting by the time they finally called us back, so was Pat!! We finally got a few good pics. Noah was moving all around as usual and he is also so far down it was hard to get a look at his face!!

*** Oh yeah and the bright spot/hole on Noah's heart has completely gone away!!!

God is good!!!

baby shower!!

Thanks to everyone who attended my baby shower and/or sent a gift!! Your guys are so sweet!!! We got some really cute stuff! Thanks to my wonderful hostesses! I feel so blesssed to be apart of such a wonderful church group. It has always been really hard for me to make friends b/c I am really shy but you guys have all made me feel so welcome!!!
I can't wait to meet baby Noah!!!

my stroller!!!! I love it!!

can't sleep!

I can't sleep. I have been up for about an hour so since about 5:45 am mostly due to heartburn, back pain, and the baby moving around but also due to I'm such a worrier.
I worry about everything from the big stuff to the smallest detail. Like right now, I just want Baby Noah to be healthy, And I am already worried about leaving him in daycare when I go back to work. I'm worried I won't be able to breastfeed and I really want to. I'm worried I won't be able to balance it all... work, baby, household chores etc!
I know like I said I'm a worrier. The newest thing to my list is my baby shower. We had to change it to next Sunday June 28th. We were suppose to have it on July 12th but we didn't realize that, that was mission sunday. I'm worried that noone is going to know about it and that noone will come. I know that sounds selfish. I am just really self conscious and always read to much into things. I just keep having this dream that I am at the baby shower and noone shows up, not even my hostess. I'm sure it will be fine!
I am also worried about my family. My dad lost his job. My mom is on disability and so is my brother. My mom helps my brother with a few paper routes but that is the only other source of income right now. My dad is the sole provider. Dad keeps saying there is no use even looking for a job b/c there is nothing out there. My little sister doesn't seem to understand why she can't have certain things and it is really stressing out my dad. I have just been praying that something will turn up for him.
I just need to stop worring and give it to God. Maybe I will try to get some sleep now!

7 years!!!

Our First Date!!!!!!! (yes Pat has green hair)

Our wedding party!!!!!!

Pat and I, so young and naive!!!!!

Today is our 7 year anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for 7 years. We have come a long way. We have had our ups and downs but that has made our relationship what it is today and has made us stronger!!!!

I can't believe in 2 months, we will have our first child!!!!

I love you Patrick!!!

last day of school!!

I can't believe another year has come to an end. This year was hard because I am losing 4 5th graders that I have had for 2 years! I love those kids and I will miss them a lot. This week has also been hard b/c I have been on half days due to my contractions. I convinced everyone to let me work all day today and I am exhausted!!! I had a great year this year. I will be getting 4 new kids next year and my year will be different but I am looking forward to it!!!
I also got the " Most Stubborn and she better not be here to accept this award", I was there and so everyone got a good laugh out of that! I love everyone I work with. They have really helped out this week when I have been on half days. They have asked my TAs what they could do to help. I especially have great TAs and a great principal!!!!
I am looking forward to a relaxing summer and having my baby boy!!!
