I feel like shouting from the rooftops

I have been wanting to blog about something really special lately. I've been harboring a secret.But, with my busy Taylor the toddler I can hardly go near the computer unless she is taking a nap.Right now she is laying on the bed nest to me and I am hearing the sweet sound of  toddler snores.

I think that it is time for the secret to come out.....we are having another baby..and I am just bursting.I am getting really excited. We are half way through week 11 and we are almost to the point of hearing that sweet baby heartbeart. I am feeling selfish right now and I don't think that I could decide if I wanted a boy or a girl -I want both. That is kind of impossible though because I don't think we could have twins.I am just trying to say that I will be happy with either gender.We are not going to find out this time-we want to be surprised.

Morning sickness has been my friend since week 6 or 7 but, as long as I keep food in my stomach I know that we won't become that close of friends.

I can't wait until August when we meet this boy or girl.

Babys a comin' soon

Today Stephen was crossing out the days on the calender and he realized that our due date is 4 days from now. I thought we were just trying and walking and that we had 1 or 2 weeks to go still said Steve. I was really surprised, I thought that he knew how long we had to go. It will be exciting to see him with our little girl.

I am getting really excited-I can't believe that it is almost time. She feels so big now as she presses her feet against me as if to say-I'm almost ready mom, there is no room left in here! I try to keep the house clean, I want it to be relaxing when I go into labor and have plenty of food around the house for my husband to eat.He eats like a horse (you wouldn't believe it but, he does).

Am I ever going to have a baby?

Sometimes I feel like I am never going to have a baby.I know that's not true but, it feels like I have been waiting forever.My adorable husband tries to be encouraging- after all he can see the truth that I won't be pregnant forever.For me it is just like why haven't I had the baby yet?

He is really wonderful and patient with me. He rubs my back, endures me crying, and he even made dinner last night! (Maybe he just knows that I won't be like this forever-and that's why he can deal with me now!).I have decided that I am ready to have the baby anytime now, so look for an update with a birth story and pictures in the future -after all she will be here whenever she gets tired of her current home.

In the meantime, I have to get rid of my stuck in limbo feeling and do stuff. I am making Christmas presents for my sisters, trying to get back to the hang of cooking, and making cloth diapers (this is a project that I haven't really started but, I'll have some soon). Yesterday, I went to the auction with one of my sister in laws and walked around all day.

It took me forever..but, I broke into my blog again!

So I haven't written in forever..it took me an hour and a half to break into it and I was about to create a new blog.Well, I finally did it.

If you can believe it, I only have 12 days left till the due date.It's November I can't believe it...one of the only things that I am disappointed about is the fact that I won't be able to cook all the delicious Thanksgiving food that I would like to but, I am cooking up something better a baby girl...Taylor Grace!

To update you-

In September my sister inlaws had a huge baby shower for me-as you can see from the shelf full of baby gifts below.
In October I took my nephews to the pumpkin patch.We enjoyed all the fun activities..thanks to a generous friend.

I have decided to make the bread

So I decided to try the bread that Elisabeth Snider made.

I had to let mine rise on the counter because I had meatloaf in the oven.
It turned out really nice.





Yum! The baby thanks you Elisabeth!
