Ch-Ch-Changes!

Our family is fixing to go through big changes....We are moving (again), fixing to have a new baby (again!), Emma is going to start kindergarten. WOW! Yes we are moving again. It doesn't seem like a year has passed since we packed our whole house and our whole lives up and moved to College Station, but it has. We are happy to be moving closer to home. Not that our time in Aggieland has been all bad, but we definately know now where "home" is and it's not here. Luckily I got Emma into her old school (YAY!). I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am about that. Now I am in the process of trying to get in with my old doctor. If I get in w/ him, life will be perfect...okay well except for we have to find a place to live too! Though I am not looking forward to packing up my whole house when I am 5.5 months pregnant, I know that is a small price to pay for having BOTH of our families close by.

Other than the little tiny matter of moving things are going great. The kids are wonderful. I am so lucky to be their mom. I just love them so much that I just can't say it enough. Tomorrow we are making Valentine's cookies and chocolate covered strawberries and cheesecake for Daddy and on Thursday we will have our annual Valentine's Celebration that includes a breakfast of heart-shaped pancakes, pink milk and gifts and dinner of spaghetti (it's fesitive b/c the sauce is red), salad, garlic bread and Valentine's treats for dessert. I couldn't have dreamed of three better Valentine's and next year I will have ANOTHER Valentine!

A little update.

I do solemly swear to blog more often. I promise. Things have just been.....well, CRAZY. I know that life w/ 2 kids (and 1 on the way) is crazy in general, but things have been crazier than normal.

Brad's grandmother passed away. I only knew her for the time that Brad and I have been married, but she was always so wonderful and sweet and was always smiling. Brad, Emma, Tyler and I all loved her dearly and we will miss her so much. I am so sad that the new baby will never get a chance to know her. We saw her a little less than a week before she died at Emma's birthday party and I am so glad she came and that we got to see her one last time. I had to do something that I think no parent ever wants to do and that is tell Emma that she had passed away. Emma was very upset and then I had to answer all of those tough questions about what happens when you die. And Emma is not your typical 5 year old. She asks questions that are pretty deep even for adults. But Emma knows that Nana is in Heaven and that she is looking down on us and that if we talk to her, she can hear us.

We also had our BIG ultrasound and let's just say this baby is uncooperative. It had it legs curled up so we could not see what it is!!! I am going to predict boy though. I will be having another ultrasound at 28 weeks, and they will check this little stinker out again to see if it will let us see what it is!! Let me just say that this is baby #3 and I have done this whole pregnancy thing before, but it is still very exciting to see that little baby in there jumping around. This one kept putting it's little hand in it's mouth which Brad and I though was VERY COOL.

That's all for now and I promise another update soon.
