First Day of School

I love this time of year so much, I love a new school year, getting back into a routine, all the activities and the holidays up ahead. The first day of school sets of the beginning of all of that so it is always a fun day! Zachary is an old pro by now, just couldn't wait to get out the door. Maile was extremely excited and adoring herself until we were halfway there. She really wanted to bring her teacher an apple and of course we forgot it. From that point forward her mood changed into serious mode. I couldn't get her to smile for the life of me once we were there and I had to drag her to the door. I really hope things went smoothly from that point. I am sure she is fine! I just can't believe I have a child in kindergarten!!

Dance Dance Dance

Soccer didn't really work out for Maile but we are trying a different activity and so far so good. Maile started dance two weeks ago and is already making progress. She practices at home and talks about it all week long. Yay for my little miss!

Holy Cow!!

Holy Cow.....good title for my babyshower post because it can positivly or negativly describe things as need be for instance, holy cow the food and goodies were amazing! Or holy cow, I am so lucky to have gotten so many beautiful things for my baby. Also, holy cow my family and friends are the best I could ever ask for! And finally.....HOLY COW I am HUGE! That about sums it up! Get here already Natalie!

20 Days....or less

I have always wished my babies to be able to stay in...now I am wishing this baby out! Who knew how slow time would creep by when you are in the last month of pregnancy, I sure didn't. This is excruciating. Everything is ready, clothes are washed, hospital bag is packed, crib is up and now all I need is a baby girl to exit my belly. My back hurts, the heartburn is unbearable and I am still packing on the lbs! Life is at a standstill until she gets here, or at least that's how I feel. Lucky me I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My Dr. has scheduled my c-section for one week early and if I am lucky I am hoping to talk her into three days earlier than that. (would really work out better to have a baby on Friday rather than Monday) We'll see....until then I guess I can keep myself preoccupied with Maile's first day of school and my twins 4th birthday. Tick tock little baby, anytime you would like to join us we would be thrilled!!
