Hello again :)

I'm not doing that great in keeping up with the blog but mainly since my offline life has been so busy. All is going wonderfully here. E has been kicking more and more and last night C got to feel her little sis and see her moving! It was so exciting, unfortunately hubby was napping so he missed it but I'm sure he'll get his chance soon as well.

Everything has been going well and I love the reassurance of feeling E so much more often. It makes it seem so much more real too. I'm not as big as I was with C or J even though usually you show sooner with consecutive pregnancies but who knows each pregnancy is different after all. All is measuring perfectly and I definitely do have a little bump. Yesterday a mom from playgroup (who's also expecting) noticed and she thought maybe I was but wasn't sure so I got to confirm her suspicions. So we had a big talk on pregnancy and babies. I know it sounds silly but it excited me someone noticing and getting to share our joys and symptom stories for a bit. I also have gotten a couple Little Sis onesies which I found (and matching Big Sis and Big Bro shirts for C and J). It's funny I've felt time has been going so slowly but then thinking I'm already 19 weeks makes it seems like it's actually gone by really fast lol. Now that I'm getting to the fun stage I'm not sure if I want the next few months to hurry or not lol. I am so excited thinking about when she actually will be here in my arms though.

We're getting to the end of Daddy's school term now so things are busy around here. Thank goodness for the gorgeous weather out so C and J can burn energy outside. We had some fun this past weekend, with a shopping trip to get some new outfits for all three of our blessings :) and took the kids to Build-A-Bear. They loved it! C picked out a pink bear and named it Tinka-bear and J chose a panda which is named Pan (get their little theme lol). C found a cute outfit to dress her bear in that matched what she was wearing. J's got a GT shirt and overalls. And I had to make a bunny for E :P though didn't dress that one lol. Sunday we went to an Unbirthday Party the neighborhood had. It was cute, with the Alice and Wonderland theme. Some folks even dressed up as the Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatter, and Alice. There was a bounce house (though C was not a fan J did jump with Daddy), cake, and games. The kids had alot of fun and wore themselves out lol.

C and J are both growing like crazy and both seem so grown up these days. For example in the car the other day C said "My tummy hurts Mommy." I asked her what would make it better and she asked for water please. Then when I handed her the bottle she says "Thank you Mommy for the water, that was very nice of you. It was very good, I feel much better now. Please put the cap on so we can save some for later." She's always been talkative but it was crazy how grown up and polite she was being and that she said all that. She's been saying other things like this too it's pretty crazy. C and J both know their ABCs as well and C has been phonetically sounding out words too! I'm so impressed lol. J is acting more and more like a big boy too and working on actually counting (he already knows alot of the numbers it's just a matter of keeping up on using them and not skipping ahead lol). He's also repeating most things C is saying. I'm sure when E arrives they're both going to seem even older in comparison but I hope they'll both be good helpers and am excited to see how they react to the new little one at these ages.

Well I have to run for now, I will try and get some pics to put on here soon. Our main plan for this week is just hubby studying alot for most of it. But Thursday evening my mom will be coming to visit and she'll be staying till Monday so I can go to the big 20 week Ultrasound! And doctor's appointment!

I feel so blessed and happy right now and just so thankful to God for the many many blessings in my life! He is truly amazing! And I am so thankful! Hope your lives are blessed as well!
