Today I am so thankful for...

1. Mark spending all day with Ben and me.
2. Mark for getting up with Ben this morning at 5:30. Ben actually woke up at 4am, just like I thought he would seeing as how 4am in Cally is 7am in Charlotte. I let him cry off and on for an hour, then gave him some milk and he laid down for a half an hour, but come 5:30 he was ready to start his day. Thank goodness Mark was ready and willing to start his day too!
3. seeing our new house for the first time in well over a month!! It's gorgeous! The painters will finish this week and the carpet will go in next Monday. I love everything and I can't wait to move in and make it home.
4. having great conversations with Leslie and Amanda, my sweet friends whom I missed so much!
5. talking with Amy two or three times today, I miss her so! I loved hearing Michael on asking for me and Ben. Poor little guy, he's probably so lonely without his buddy Ben.
6. the hearty soup my mom made for dinner. It was so good, I can't wait to have it again for lunch tomorrow.
7. the rain! I understand I missed some crazy rain and thunderstorms while away, so I'm thankful I get to listen to a bit of rain tonight.
8. watching TV with my parents, just like the good old days. :)
9. Ben's funny little sneaky laugh. He's so funny, I love watching him walk around and be so silly.
10. Mark and my dad having conversations about all the going ons of the world. They get along very well, I like that they like each other.

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
