The funny thing about this is he did it all on his own; got the bucket, had Mark fill it up and got right on in. He must've been hot! Thankfully I DID find a real blow up pool for him at none other than a pool supply store. Who'd've thought a pool supply store literally supplies pools?




Today I am so thankful for...

1. time with Nick and Lisa Tuesday.
2 Paul and Tina coming down on Tuesday, even just for a little bit, it means a lot that they made the drive even though they couldn't stay all day.
3. Tina being able to take Ben to his last music class. I couldn't make it and I'm so glad he didn't have to miss it and that she had that moment with him there.
4. I didn't make his class because I had an OB apt. and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!! I love that sound, I could listen to it all day. With Ben I had not a care in the world when I was carrying him, but with this baby I think I'm so much more aware of the potential loss and what you really lose should something happen. So when I heard that strong, fast little beat I couldn't help but get a lump in my throat. The neat thing is even though Mark couldn't make it my doctor asked if I'd like to call him, so he was able to hear it over the phone! So cool.
5. my new OB doc. She's so great! I just met her for the first time and I loved everything about her, I'm really excited I was able to change all the right things so that she could be my doctor.
6. the guys fixing the something that was busted and made one little area of the house loose power. (I'm sorry, I'm just not technically inclined.) It just happened to be the little area of the house where all of our computer stuff, Mark's endless amounts of office gear (printers, scanners, phones...) and Ben's light and fan are, so they were out of order for 24 LONG hours. I love electricity, I really do.
7. Darren, Pam, Az and Keoke doing GREAT on their 20 mile walk!!!
8. the really nice, nearly tropical, breeze tonight. I'm not even running the AC. Take that Electric Company!
9. Lauren (and Jordan, although I don't think he knows it yet) being ready and willing, and even excited, to watch Ben for us one night in August so we can go to a baseball game in San Diego.
10. "Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian. I just picked it up not having read it in a while, and it really is powerful. Makes me realize what a ministry I have right here at home with my husband.

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. :-)

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
