We've almost made it!

It's so hard for me to believe that today is May 31st! I have watched my calendar for June 1st to come for almost 10 months now.  Crazy how slow time can go when you are wanting it to go fast.

We will be induced tomorrow to have a baby girl.  I can still hardly wrap my mind around it.  I am really excited, nervous and ready.  This pregnancy has been quite strange.  My OCD flared up and made it seem like this wasn't going to happen.  I have worried just about non-stop about all the "what if's" of it all and have been so nervous that something was wrong with me or the baby, or something terrible would happen to me or the baby.  So, I'm really happy to be at this point.  The worries will hopefully lessen tomorrow when it all happens.

I am so excited to have a baby girl.  I already feel so bonded to her.  I can't wait to meet her and love on her. I'm excited that she has 2 older brothers that will protect her and love her and I am especially excited to see how Mark loves her.  He is really excited.  3 feels like a lot!  I am still trying to process being out-numbered by our kids.  I love it.  I am so grateful that we can have children and that Heavenly Father has blessed us so abundantly.

Let tomorrow come! We are ready!!

Getting back into it...

I have been terrible about posting on this blog.  I don't know if anyone actually reads it, so I haven't wanted to spend the time on it.  And I am behind...like way behind.  I am ready to start up again--some I will catch up on and some I won't and that's just going to have to work :)

I started blogging a LONG old time ago! I started before Caden was born.  It started out as a place to write-all the good and bad times and just get my thoughts down.  As blogs progressed and became more popular, I've felt like it's turned something that isn't reality.  Some blogs I read-totally discouraged me. It seemed like some people's lives were all glamorous all the time and they weren't very real.  So I just gave up on it all together.  I want to get back to the roots of why I started this in the first place.

I am a simple girl, mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend.  I love people, love life and like learning new things.  That's where this all began.  I'm just going to put it all out there what this blog is intended for -the up's and down's, happy and sad times-and that is good enough for me (and I hope for you too!) :)
