Did I say little guy?
I meant big guy. The doctor is estimating that he weighs 4 pounds now and told us to expect a 9-10 pound baby at birth.
So mark your calendars for September 17, 2009.
And maybe he will have a name by then.

My Girls
Here are my favorite recent quotes from Calyn and Abby.
From Calyn:
"Mom I got marker on the back of my book but I put some lick on it and it came right off!"
"We locked our bathroom door so daddy can't go in there and make it stink."
From Abby:
"Excuse me."
"Here you go."
"Stop." (complete with holding up her hand)

Blessed
Tim has been out of town for a few days and I have been so blessed by my friends.
Husband and wife, L and L, along with baby A came over yesterday and took the kids all swimming so that I could rest. Last night we had to vacate the house so that our weekly Bible study could meet. Our adopted grandma, J, and her daughter J met us at the mall. We walked and then had a small candy treat. Both Js also sent a sweet treat over for Bible study.
Today, I had an unexpected doctor's appointment and some testing. Adopted grandma J came over early and took the kids to PDO. She even canceled her own plans so that she could help. Tonight the W family came over and we ordered pizza. I took all the kids swimming, but it was nice just to have company.
Mrs. R has also called several times to check on us. And Amarillo B offered to let the kids come visit in Amarillo.
I have an awesome group of friends that have blessed me. I usually don't mind Tim being out of town, but somehow this trip was different. I think already felt frazzled before he left. Thankfully my friends stepped in to help and the kids have really been a joy.
Thank you so much to everyone for helping me. What amazing brothers and sister I have in Christ.
The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40

Running on fumes
This describes my life in so many ways right now.
Literally.
I ran out of gas today with all three kids in the car at 3:oopm. It might have been funny except that I did the same thing about three weeks ago. That now makes twice in my life that I have completely ran my car out of gas.
Figuratively.
I am tired. Emotionally. Physically. I like to appear and pretend that I have it all together, but I do not. I like to keep our normal, busy schedule even when I know I need to slow down. Some days I count the minutes until nap time. I think God is trying to teach me something, but I need to take the time to listen and learn.
