Well it has been such a busy past few weeks, I feel like I have been on the go every day.  I had my ultrasound on Monday, It is always so amazing to see that little life moving around in there.  I can't believe the size difference from my 8 week ultrasound, it was just a little speck at that one now it is a full baby! I am a little concerned because I was 18 weeks to the day on my ultrasound but the baby is measuring at 19 weeks 3 days, the lady said that it is in the 97%!!!!  So hopefully it slows down on the growing over these next few months lol!  I had really not wanted to find out the sex of this baby at the beginning of my prenancy, but now I wish I would have got my ultrasound booked for Vernon,where they will tell you.  I don't like trying to guess what it is, it was so nice to know.

On Tuesday I went to Mom to mom, I really enjoy going there and am glad that two of my friends came out to this last one.  I would not call myself a super sensitive person at all but for some reason every time I am at this group I feel like I am fighting off crying the whole time the person is speaking.   I don't know what it is but it has happened to me since I first started going there 2 years ago.

On tuesday night Cole and I got to go on a little date.  My parents took the kidlets and we went out for dinner and then to a movie. We went to see a taste of Heaven. I loved this movie it was so cute, it made me cry too, so maybe Tuesday was just an emotional day LOL. I love being able to go out with just Cole but I always find myself really missing the girls, I love going to pick them up, and giving them a big hug because I have missed them so much.

Haille is finally sleeping in her own bed, only problem is is her bed is in our room  I honestly don't mind this though.  The first night she was in there we got into bed and both of us were like oh we miss her, Cole asked can we just bring her in here.  I actually said no lets just let her sleep I am sure that she will make her way into our bed sometime tonight.  Sure enough I feel a pillow hit my face at 2 in the morning and  a little body snuggling down in between Cole and I saying "Haille sleep in daddys' bed" It was so cute.  I totally love these times, I love having my kids coming into bed and snuggling with them, these times are going to be over with so fast and I will always love remembering when I used to have them sleep beside me.  I think I would more regret never taking advantage of these times when I can do this then I would ever regret letting them be in my bed.

Last night I went to Craft night.  IT was so fun, I loved loved the people that were there, if those were the only people that ever showed up to Craft night I would never dislike going ever again

Well I gotta go get myself ready I have to be somewhere soon.......

Wow I can't believe a week has already flown by since the last time I wrote in here. 

Lets see on Monday I went to a homeschool meeting with Miranda, I thought it would be weird since I don't have any school aged children yet, but everyone acted like it was normal to come even if you aren't yet homeschooling.  I am very excited to start homeschooling I think it will be alot of fun, but at the same time I want to enjoy these early years because they are only little once!  Before the meeting we each left our husbands on there own to fend for there own dinners and we went out for Japanese, it was sooo good.  It was nice to be able to escape for an evening and will be fun to do once a month!!

On Tuesday I had my appointment with the obstetrician, it went alright, he is super nice!  He is just very statistical but I guess all Dr.s are. He said that I have a 50% chance at delivering naturally this time.  I am not going to let myself get discouraged though, I still have 100% faith that I will have a successful VBAC.

On Wednesday Abby had her four month shots  She did really well, she is our tough one. 

On Thursday we went up to a friends house, it was fun all the kids play well together and we had a chance to visit over tea.   We made plans to do it regularly every two weeks so it is nice to have something to look forward to while Cole is working.

Then on Friday a friend of mine came over with her two sons and we tried to scrapbook all day.  We each only got 2 pages completed LOL I guess thats because we had 4 kids running around. Then Cole and I ordered in Indian Food,,,,, it was SOOOO good!!!!  I have always loved Indian food, my friend's mom used to always make it for me and laugh at how much I could eat LOL.

Anyways thought I would update, thats all the exciting news I have for now

It is such a beautiful day today, my Dh is now finished his graveyards shifts so I possibley have him home for 4 weeks which would be awesome.  I love having him around in the evenings

I am feeling so happy today, I felt the first flutterings of this precious life inside of me.  What an amazing feeling.  I was worried that I wasn't going to remember what it felt like but as soon as you feel it you know!!  So I am pretty excited about it, makes it feel more real again.

I really love when it starts cooling down, I love it when I don't dread turning my oven on anymore... I am excited to start baking, I want to start involving Haille in helping out with it, I know she would love to she loves helping out.  Now that I have a deep freezer this year I am going to make lots of soups and freeze them for lunches

In a few weeks I am going to be hosting a pampered chef party, not just hosting it but doing the whole show!!! I am so nervous I don't like talking to groups for long periods of time, but I am excited about it too.  I hope I didn't get myself in over my head!LOL

On Tuesday I have an appointment with the obstetrician, I am a little nervous about seeing him, I hope he is supportive in my decision for a VBAC.  I just want to be faithful in knowing God has designed my body to birth babies naturally and I have already done it once, so I just want him to be optimistic thats all, I don't want to feel discouraged about it.

Well not much else to talk about so thats all for today

So I seriously had the grossest thing happen to me today EVER!!!  For awhile now I have been noticing that there are quite a few flies in our house, I thought it was just from the kids sliding the screen door open, so I just killed them whenever I had the opportunity.  Well then yesterday all of a sudden there was these HUGE flies in the bathroom and I am talking HUGE!    So I freaked out and got Cole to kill them all.

So fast forward a few hours later, we had company for dinner everything was fine during supper and stuff but at about 9:30 at night all of a sudden there is like 6 of these huge flies buzzing around, so DH kills them all , by this point I am getting pretty freaked out then a half hour later there are like 6 more and we are not understanding where the heck they are coming from.  Our company was like there has got to be something dead that is attracting them, so I phoned to make sure my tenants were ok and they didn't have any flies down there.

  Well later when we are going to bed like three fly out of bedroom so we turn the light on in there and move the change table and behind there were the biggest fly larvae I have ever seen.  There was one back there that hadn't hatched yet but all the rest of them were already hatched, so we cleaned it all up but I was terrified to go to bed. 

Morning comes and no flies so I am feeling relieved that we must have gotten rid of the problem, but Cole to be safe tears apart our closet and finds more of the larvae thingies in there, we have a blanket over our window so it isn't so bright and he moved that and there were like 8 alive ones just sitting there.  I phone a pest patrol place and they wanted to charge me 450.00$ to come and exterminate the place I was like well we will keep trying to find the problem ourselves.

Cole started to move everything out of our bedroom, the bed and then the boxspring..... that is when I here him yelling SICK I found the problem.  I was like do I really want to go see what it is?? It was a dead mouse under our bed!!  Our cat must have killed one in our house then started playing with it in the bedroom and then got it stuck under the bed(our bed only sits about 2 inches off the ground) And crawling all over the floor is like 50 of these larvae things.

I still get shivers when I think of it, just the not knowing that this was under our bed for so long.

Just thought I would share my TERRIBLE fly story with everyone now that you are all probably thoroughly disgusted too

Well it has been awhile since I have written in here, It was such a nice much needed break!  I was actually tossing the idea around of closing it down but all I needed was the break.

It is hard to believe that Summer is pretty much over, I am totally ok with that because I LOVE the fall time  I find every year seems to go by faster and faster, the more I want to slow down and enjoy my kids while they are young the faster they seem to be growing up.  They are at such a fun age right now, I am loving being a mom so much there is nothing that brings me more joy.

Last weekend me husband went with a friend of ours to Vancouver to a concert, they had so much fun, I am so happy that they got to go. I am currently reading the book called Wild at Heart and I am liking it so much.  It is really helping me to realize that God created Men a certain way and I am not going to be able to change him, so it has been good helping me get rid of certain expectations and things.

I can not believe how expensive gas has gotten!! We decided that until this new baby comes we are going to drive the car around town.  I am not too thrilled about this since the car is a 2 door it is not the easiest getting kids in and out but you gotta do what you gotta do.  I was watching the news last night and they were talking about how in Vancouver at night time it goes down to 1.05$ a litre and they were raving about how cheap that is  Since when did a 1.05 become cheap? I will definately won't be driving around town for the fun of it anymore.

We moved the computer out into our family room, I like it alot better out here. It is so nice when Cole is watching his show out here I can be on the computer and we can still visit.

Haille has her shots today, I have missed them three times now.  I feel so torn about these shots that they give our kids it is such a hard decision.  I have decided to just get the basic ones done and not except all the newer ones that they are coming out with.  We just pray protection over them before we go in and then try to not regret anything.

In Miranda's journal she was talking about a family who lost there house in a fire last week. I know this family quite well too and feel so sad for them, especially about their pets.  I am just blown away by the support that has come in for them, it is really quite amazing to see a city pull together to help them out.  The one daughter is in figure skating and I figure skated for 14 years and it is NOT cheap.  Well her  skating coach phoned a company in Vancouver and they are donating brand new skates to her!

Well this has kinda gotten long, just wanted to update since it has been forever, have a good day
