Just about 4 weeks until this baby is due only I feel like she could come any minute. I feel huge and awkward and uncomfortable and I can't sleep or bend over and picking up my 40lb 2 year old is quite a strain! Would it be to much to ask that just this once I have a baby that decides to come a little early? Despite all of the discomfort of the last month of pregnancy, I do enjoy being pregnant, knowing the baby is safe inside and feeling her move around is such a miracle that I am very blessed to be a part of.
Another HUGE blessing that I really don't verbally recognize often enough is my FABULOUS husband. He is a life saver, seriously he is. I don't have to ask him to help with the kids he just does it and he is so good at it. Especially with Hayden. Our favorite time of day is when Dad comes home from work. Even though Hayden acts like a major Momma's Boy, he really does love being with his dad. Mark even went along with my "nesting" project of getting our bedroom painted and decorated this last weekend. I did as much of the painting and taping as I could but Mark with the help of our friends the Hamans did 99% of the painting. It feels so good to have it done. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARK!
Not to ramble on about how great my husband is, but I really don't know what I would do without him. It really sucks living so far away from my mom, especially right now when I could really use her help, or just her company, but Mark does a great job of calling me during the day and getting us out of the house and keeping the kids entertained, and on and on.... He is also doing a pretty dang good job of putting up with me and my pregnancy mood swings. Without knowing he is doing it he is filling in where my mom would. I couldn't ask for more.

Thankfully we haven't had to deal with too much snow yet this winter. But we do have enough that he kids have been able to use their new sleds.

Cameron lost another tooth! That makes for three lost in a month. He has the best "toothless grin", I really need a picture!
Colby played his first Jr. Jazz game last night. He was SO darn excited and was quite picky about which number he has on his jersey. I think the got #9. I am still amazed at his interest in sports. He looks at ESPN.com multiple times a day and is just sure that he knows all there is to know about football.

Hayden (sorry no picture) is so stinkin cute. He kills me and makes my day at the same time. Right now he loves to play with Play Dough, cook food in his microwave and watch Dora and Diego. I seriously love two year olds. Can he stay two forever?

You "love two year olds"? That's a new one. Mine were two, once upon a time, and they were good at it too.
Wished you lived near by...I would be happy to help you.
Good luck with evrything. Keep us posted.
