A Good Life

This winter has been very mild, yet I am still very anxious for spring to arrive. I look forward to my brisk walks and getting in shape. I need to have the energy to keep up with three little ones. Mike is committed to getting in shape and being healthy also. He had his physical and the Dr said it was time to lose weight. I think it will be easier for us both after the baby arrives since I have cravings like dunkin donuts and milk shakes...hey, baby wants what baby gets! HA HA HA!

My mom has been here for two weeks and barely lets me lift a finger. I have to keep my lifting limited and she and Mike make it very easy for me to follow that. I cant express my thankfullness that my mom is able to come and be with me and help me for the remainder of my pregnancy. She is so selfless and giving, not to forget to mention my dad for letting her be here for us. they are both making sacrifices for me that I am more than grateful to recieve.

I must also say that Mike has been an amazing father and husband. He is always so willing to run errands or tend to our every needs. He plays with the kids and reads to them every night. Alex and Ella miss their Daddy when he is at work, especially Ella. She went to the door the other day and it wasnteven close to when Daddy was suppose to be home, and she said Dad-DDee!!?? and she wimpered like she wanted him to walk through the door. They both go running to the door when he gets home. Ella's eyes and face light right up.

The things Alex and Ella do that make us smile:
The other evening Ella was pushing around her stroller and I asked her where he babies were and Alex picked up both babies and went running after her, it was so darn funny. He gave us a great laugh.

Ella knows exactly when it is 5:00pm, she grabs her bib and brings it to me to put on her and she grabs Bubbie's bib and says, Bubbie!?!!! And brings him his bib, she is always looking out for her brother.

Alex and Ella were coming down the stairs and Ella grabs Alex's hand and they start down the stairs together. So sweet!

Thanks! I am doing good now. I was in the hospital for bleeding! It was scary but I got to go home on Sunday afternoon, the baby is fine and so am I. I am 37 weeks prego and waiting paitently, for now I am on bed rest. I am having some question about whether or not to do a c-section or try a VBAC, I have prayed about it and am waiting for some clear direction on it. Yes, I was bummed about not being able to go to MOPS, I thought, couldnt this be any other day than my MOPS day!?! I hope you are well. I'll keep you posted of any news. : )
