Eat your heart out!

So click over to http://www.anepicunfolding.blogspot.com/ and enjoy!

…and there was sight

Thursday I took BJ down to our dreaded place, The Medical Center, and he had Lasik done on both of his eyes. Since then he’s been recovering and be cautious. So we had a laid back weekend…rented some movies, made burgers and relaxed as much as possible while juggling three girls πŸ™‚ It was such a bummer because this weekend was the perfect temperature outside, beautiful and not too cold or hot. And we were dying to be out in it, but sadly are still confined for a couple of more weeks. Oh how we are anxious for Ella’s surgery to be past us and life to go on!!!

The babies have been really starting to be aware of each other a little more and if they are close enough they will try to jabber to each other and smile! Its so cute!

So while I am cleaning out my house piece by piece over the next year…(we are not going to start building until January.) I am taking suggestions on efficient cleaning/organizing techniques. My first inquiry is this….I want to know how you keep your photos organized. Since the digital era has boomed, I want to know what your system of storing photos from your camera to your computer to printing them. I usually just label all of them and save them to files on my computer for months and months until I have a big window of time (HA) and then send them all to snapfish. This ends up being like 500 pictures at a time, then I have to wait for another big window of time (HA) to organize them and put them into albums and piles for scrapbooking (which never actually occurs…but is in the near future! HELLO girls scrap nights) So …give me your feedback…what works for you??

Also…what on earth do you do with all of your CD cases…we keep all of our CD’s in a big book that we take in and out of the car, but what do you do with the cases?? They are such dust collectors/space-taker-uppers…..any advice????

Husband and Father of the Year

I found this in my inbox this morning:

Good morning my Love,

I hope you are getting good rest now. I am so proud of how you have been doing and how strong you have been. I know this has been tough on you and all of us but it is getting close to the end and that is such an overwhelmingly great thing. I know you have inspired so many with your attitude, outlook, and strength. I would have never dreamed of this circumstance being in our lives but we have fought through it and soon we will see just how much more awesome our family will be. It has really been a testing time but I know that God knows what we can handle and constantly amazes us. When God stretches us, you seem to go further than you ever thought.

I can not wait for you and our new babies to be home! It really shows you through all of this how much we really depend on each other and love each other. I miss you so much. We have such a great family and God has blessed us with an even larger one than we imagined. It is amazing that the night we went to dinner and I saw that big family and God put it in my heart to want that. LOL. I never did before and then out of the blue, God gives me those desires right before he sets us in the path for the big family. I really love you so much and am so grateful for you. I know that we say that often at home but it has even more meaning now that we see just what each other totally means to one another. You really are my world. You are an awesome wife and an amazing mother. Mother of Zion. How right on can a prophecy be?

God has big things in store for us. I have always felt it. I believe we are right on the edge of some pretty amazing times. It is going to be awesome to walk with you through it along with having our 3 girls and seeing what part they play. They are going to be all 3 incredible. God has a big plan for them! I can’t wait to see what it is.

I miss you. I miss you. So many things we take for granted. Life is very very good with you by my side. I always have known that but this makes it even more real. You were and always will be the perfect person for me. God knew that from the beginning of time. There was no other. Always and forever you. I am sooo excited about our family and what it is becoming. This is AMAZING!

I love you my babe and I can’t wait to get you home and just love all over you and my babies.

Love, BJ

He’s A Mom

Well these last few days have been less than pretty, let me tell ya. Either I got the nasty stomach bug that is going around or babe in the belly is not so nice to its mamma. Or as Jordan would say “babes in the belly” ha ha….ha ha…not funny.

Basically I’ve been puking my guts out for two days…so much that BJ was up with me throughout the night and had to stay home from work all day yesterday because it was so bad. We had to send Hayden to the grandparents all day and then the other grandparents picked her up and have her for the night and today and maybe longer.

I finally ventured out of bed, because my bones are so sore from being there for so long. I feel like I’ve been in twilight zone for days. I’ve taken like 20 baths between barfing and coma-like naps. My Dr. prescribed this miracle pill that worked almost the second I took it and no more sickness! Now I am so so weak. I don’t think I’ve ever been that sick before.

BJ was a trooper. When we first got married I used to give him a hard time that when I was sick he didn’t nurture me. You know like when your mom sits there and rubs your arm and caters to you hand and foot…..he tried, but occasionally he would still ask what’s for dinner or something πŸ™‚ Well I must say that in four years he has grown to be a regular Mom. He waited on me hand and foot and even helped clean up my puke with no complaints. Now that is a mom for you πŸ™‚

Anyway, enough about barf. Can you believe the little floating babe on my page! It actually looks like a human…look at the little leg buds and arm buds πŸ™‚ and you can tell that it has a head….and a rather large one πŸ™‚ I still have a week until I go to the doctor and I can’t wait. They told us yesterday that if I couldn’t hold down any liquids or anything by today that I needed to come in and I almost hoped we could go in and maybe get a quick ultrasound . But I was much happier to cease the hurling, though it would have been nice to see the babe as well.

Oh and a major milestone….yesterday while Hayden was at Grammy’s she pooped on the potty for the first time!! She told them she needed to go and they put her on there and she WENT!!! SO exciting! Maybe she will actually be potty trained before the new babe arrives. I would be in heaven!

Well I am back to bed.
