Cousins!!!!

A few weeks ago we made a day trip to St Louis to do some much needed shopping... and to see our cousins! Joey and Noah had SUCH a fun time together at Las Fuentes!

I'm sorry!!

I haven't posted any preggo pics for a while... and I keep getting yelled at. I'll have Rick take some tomorrow and I'll post them Monday at work. Promise!

Everything is going well here. I'm now 25 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I have 13-14 weeks left! I'm anticipating that Maddie is going to be another big baby. I can already feel simultaneous kicks and jabs at opposite diagnal locations. I don't know how she's hitting my ribs and hips at the same time... but she is!!

We're settling into the new house quite well. There's still a ton of "junk" in the garage that I need to sift through. Most of it will be sold in a garage sale, some will be tucked away and stored... but I'm still missing a few important things... like my silverware! Hopefully tomorow I will get more things sorted and put away. Working 40 hours a week, being 6 months pregnant AND moving has not been easy. Throw in the lupus factor and you'd think we'd have a disaster. It hasn't been easy, but we made it!

Career Day

Mira and Riley both celebrated Career Day at their school. Mira wanted to be a church secretary... and Riley wanted to be an EMT. I wonder what spurred on interests in those careers?

The Kids

Just wanted to share the kids' Spring School pics with you! Enjoy!!

It's a ...

GIRL!!!!

Madigan Isabella Ruth is on her way!!!

Don't breathe on me!!!

The flu, the stomach bug, an the upper respiratory infection has been running wild in the Ft Wood area! It seems everyone has it. Rick has the stomach bug. Mira started running a fever Saturday night and by Sunday morning it was 104.4 . I took her to the doctor Monday and he said she had a "bacterial sinus infection." Her gave her antibiotics and Claritin. Today is Thursday and she's still running a fever of 103. Guess we'll be calling the doctor this morning again. Joey also woke up this morning with a fever of 102. When will it end?!?! I'm hoping that it's my prenatal vitamins that are keeping me from catching it. Trust me, the flu bug is the LAST thing I need right now. Calgon.... take me away!

18 weeks!!!!!

Here we are... almost half way there!!!
