We are on the 2 week countdown to baby time! Hopefully it will be less than 2 weeks, but more than likely will be longer. :( My kids seem to be pretty comfy on the inside and like to be forced out! We are anxiously and not so patiently waiting. I went to the doctor this week and he didn't really have any news for me...just said that things are going well and that he will see me next week. At that time he will check for progress...I'm hoping that something starts happening by then! Mila is so excited to have a new brother or sister (she votes girl) and I think Jaxon is just ready for my belly to be gone so he can comfortably cuddle on my lap again!
Nesting has been happening a lot around here! I think Jake came home the other night and didn't know it was his house he was in...I rearranged just about every room! Baby clothes are washed, the hospital bag is packed, and we are ready to go whenever this baby is! We have taken a poll amongst our family and friends to guess the gender, weight, and length of baby #3...only 2 people have guessed girl so we will see in a couple of weeks what it is!
My brother Nate and his wife Stacy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a week ago today named Finley Elizabeth. She was a week early and is doing really well. I can't wait to meet her, but that won't happen until they come to Idaho in June for Amy's wedding...that time can't come soon enough! Today is the 1 year anniversary of the birth of Nate and Stacy's son Baby David Gabriel...he is greatly missed, but I'm sure he is having a wonderful celebration in heaven for his birthday!
I guess that is all that is going on in our world...still pregnant! Hopefully the next time I post I will be holding my baby girl or boy in my arms! :)

Because Kristi says I'm a slacker....
I know it's been FOREVER since I posted last...I love reading everyone's blogs, but have troubles sitting down and writing my own. There is a lot going on in our lives and its easier to post a quick status update on Facebook rather than putting a post on here. But, since Kristi told me that I'm terrible at blogging I decided I'd take the time and write one...happy now? :)
So, what's been going on? Well, I am now 35 weeks pregnant and we still don't know what we are having. I am so excited to have this baby and to love it and hold it! The kids are getting excited too! Mila can't wait to be a big sister again and her mind changes daily as to whether she is getting a baby brother or a baby sister. Jaxon knows there is a baby in my belly, but then again he thinks that everyone has a baby in their belly, including himself! And I must be getting bigger because I went to give Jaxon a kiss one night and he said "Mommy BIG!" Luckily Mila responded with "Mommy's supposed to be big, there's a baby in her belly!" That made me feel a little better! We are so excited that we've been blessed with another child and are ready for the chaos and adjustments that will come with it!
Mila is still loving preschool and is learning a lot! It is amazing the amount of stuff that she remembers and retains! I swear she's the smartest 5 year old I know! She is in dance class as well and has her first recital next weekend...I can't wait! She's also been talking about wanting to do gymnastics so we'll see if we end up doing that too.
On another note, we had a wonderful Christmas! Mila turned 5 the week before and we had fun celebrating with her first "friends" bday party. We went to Build-A-Bear and had a great time! We also had a family and friends birthday party that doubled as an ugly Christmas sweater party....that is always a blast! Last year people had just semi-ugly sweaters, but this year people showed up with entire outfits! It was a hoot! Then Christmas came and we were so ready! Jake finally had a day off! The kids were very into the Santa Clause stuff this year and were so eager to go to sleep! As they are every year, the kids were super spoiled with gifts! However, when Jaxon came down the stairs on Christmas morning and saw the train set that Santa left, he didn't care about the other presents....we had to pull him away and force him to open them! The rest of the day was spent relaxing and playing with the kids....and ended with our 4th annual Chinese take out Christmas dinner. We miss our family at the holidays, but its kind of nice to have a day with just our family creating our own traditions.

2009 flew by! It was a year full of many ups and downs and I am really looking forward to seeing the great things that 2010 will bring! I know that for sure I will be getting a niece, Finley Elizabeth, I will be having our 3rd child, and my sister Amy will be getting married so I'm sure the year will be fantastic! I hope yours will be too!
Well, I think that just about does it for the updates on our family. I'm sure there is something that I've left out, but pregnancy brain causes me to forget a lot. I hope this blog makes Kristi happy, since she's probably the only one who reads the darn thing! :) Happy 2010!!!
