Realization

I had the most wonderful realization today. This is my last day going solo for awhile. Mark will be home tomorrow and through the weekend. And then, Kak-Kak is coming on Monday. She'll be here until the first of November. And then Mom and Dad are coming. That doesn't mean things are going to get any easier--since we'll be increasing the size of our family by "four feet" in just a matter of days, as well as our work load. But, there's something nice about knowing I won't be alone through it all. The end is so totally in sight!

Of course, today, Hunter came down with a stomach bug and spent the entire morning and a good part of the afternoon barfing and crying and hollering for me to bring more popsicles and coke. And around 2:00pm when I'd finally had enough and started to doze off, the other three boys decided to be their noisiest. Noah decided he just had to practice piano. Denver needed to practice his ninja moves off the couch. And Caleb discovered he can open and slam shut the entertainment center door, which he proceeded to do for an entire 20 minutes straight. So much for resting. But I suppose it was all made bearable by the mere fact that today is the last day I'll be doing this all on my own for awhile and I am very happy about that. Very. Happy.

5 days to go. I seriously wish you the best and am very happy to hear that you are going to have all this help. It will be a Godsend. I have had 2 friends deliver twins in the past 5 years and the first month they both said was the craziest because of the sleep but with your wonderful hubby and your family coming in to help, I hope it will get you through. We are all praying for you!

Congratulations to you all! I am anxious to find out if they are boys are girls. I wish I was a part of your family so that I could help out too. I'll never forget how special you made Eliza feel on her 2nd birthday when we were in Utah back in '01. You can't help but be endeared to someone who shows love to your child. :o) You are a special and dear lady with a dear family and these new additions will be wonderful, and how great that you have so many rallying around you to help at this blessed time!!!!
Amy :o)

I wish we lived closer to one another so that I could help in some way! I would make you dinner and babysit your kids and give you a pedicure and all manner of things. You are just going to have to move back out west! Doesn't it figure that we always tend to be on opposite sides of the country (or world)? I will be thinking of you and praying foryou! And a c-section is a piece of cake!!! If I could do 2, you can totally handle it. If there is anything I can do from afar... please let me know!

Shana, hope Baby "A" is not smooshing Baby "B" too bad and that the next few days will pass quickly. Elijah put your boys in his prayers last night at bedtime when he prayed.. "and bless Hunter, Noah, Denver, and Caleb... bless them that they will come back soon so I can play with them more"!!!
