It’s so crazy that we are into the 3rd weekend of June already! And it’s been a busy month so far because school stuff is wrapping up and there are parties and field trips and thank-you cards and gifts to get ready. We have a Mom’s in Prayer Group at our school and we put a Strawberry Social on for the teachers a few weeks ago which was really well received.
Our family also spent a rainy weekend at the cottage and spent the entire time in warm clothes and drank hot chocolate and played games. It was sunny for the drive home though of course.
I caught a few pics of the girls that weekend…
And one of Erik. And that is pretty much the extent of pictures taken in June. And that means I haven’t taken any of William this month other than ones where his back is to me. Nice going mom!
Partly to blame for the no pictures is the fact that I charged the battery for my camera after this trip to the cottage, but then lost the battery after I unplugged the charger and laid it on the counter in the laundry room where it then got knocked off. I looked everywhere in that laundry room for the battery and prayed to find it, but only did after I was prompted to look in the garbage can. And voila! There is was and is now restored and I hope that doesn’t ever happen again.
And party to blame is the fact that I’m tired. Because I’m pregnant. Again. With number 5. I’m going to have 5 children. This has not sunk in.
I’m almost 14 weeks and I think I felt the baby kick the other day and I’ve heard the heartbeat so I do it’s all real and that there is actually a baby in there. But it still doesn’t seem real.
Probably because in our minds we were done, I had given away all my baby clothes and was in process of giving away the rest of the baby things. I told everyone we were done, but God obviously had different plans for us and so I know it’s meant to be.
I’ve always believed that there is nothing as exciting or magical in life as having a baby and so as soon as I hold that baby and I fall completely and utterly in love, I know it will all make sense.
Even though that doesn’t help right now with the crankiness and then tiredness, but I only have 26 more weeks to go and that’s going to fly by (hahahahahah)
So that’s our news. Hopefully news like that is as exciting as it gets for a long long time!
Lisa! So excited for you! I so enjoy checking out your blog … and to see news like that … big smile!!!
Wow, how exciting! Congratulations!
Congrats, Lisa!! #3 for us is due at the end of Nov, so we’ll be ‘enduring’ pregnancy together!!! Hope you’re feeling well and on the upswing!
Congradulations Nicole! That’s really exciting! I wish I was due at the end of November, I’m so worried it’s going to be a Christmas baby! 🙂
Well, you know I think this is the best news ever! 🙂 A new little personality to discover and fall in love with… so exciting! But a Christmas baby… seriously… don’t you think you could have planned that one a little better?! lol I can’t wait to meet the newest Colley, I’m totally living vicariously through you! 🙂
Thanks Christa, and you know it will be cool to see what child #5 is like, you just never know! And having a December baby just shows me that God has a sense of humour, it’s the one month I never wanted to have a baby in!!!
