The Big Day

Tomorrow morning we head to the hospital to have baby #4!  We are excited and definitely ready.  The kids are more than ready to meet their new baby.  It's been such a long wait for them.  I can't say how long it might be before we get some pictures up, but they will come at some point.  Jon's mom is here for the week and my parents will come next week, which is nice to know ahead of time.  As impatient as I've been to have this baby, it's kind of nice it waited until the scheduled day to show up so I can plan on having people here:)

We have to get up at 4:30 so we can get ready and be at the hospital on time, so I think it's about time for bed.

The Final Countdown

Yes, I stole that title from Survivor, but it's the first thing that came to my mind.  Plus the fact that my ticker countdown is quite wrong considering I have less than 20 days at this point.  But you're smart people, you can do the math.

So technically I have 2 weeks from today.  May 15 is the scheduled birthday of baby #4.  I'm certainly hoping it's earlier, but we shall see.

Despite our forecast of a complete week of rain, the last 2 days have been beautiful from afternoon to evening.  Last night we went on a walk and some tame kittens came out to play, so the boys enjoyed that.  Leah, not so much.  The kids were able to be out today and chalk, ride bikes, play sandbox, swing, and slide, besides playing in the dirt and finding random things to feed an ant colony.  They had a great time.  I spent my day doing a whole lot of nothing.  I hauled out The Great Gatsby to read outside.  I haven't read that book in a few years and I don't remember it well, so I thought I'd give it another go.

I've been spending my days doing so many things.  It was nice not to have a list today.  It was fun to start my day with no plans and just sit and read and play with the kids. 

I didn't really have a lot to write about, but I figured it was time to put a small update on here.  It's time for a snack and a little Psych.  I love that show!
