Sooooooo hoping this will be me come tomorrow. Tomorrow being Tuesday… the 1st day of April. Otherwise known as April Fool’s Day. Yah….my little baby Brody just might be born on April Fool’s Day but ask me if I care? Cause see this cartoon to the left? That’s seriously me right now. My poor husband. My poor kids. I’m one big grouchy mess and it’s going to be that way until my Doctor starts inducing labor. Which he did say would happen Tuesday. Good….cuz……
THERE
IS
NO
ROOM
LEFT
IN
THIS
BELLY!!!!!
I’ve reached maximum capacity. There’s no more room at the Inn. The incubator is officially full. Okay. You get the picture. Seriously though…despite my ongoing pain and discomfort (mildly put) right now, it’s a very exciting time. Bags are packed and we are so very anxious and thrilled to be bringing home our baby boy SUPER SOON!!!
Before I forget…..
I wanted to say that I WISH I had the time to sit and reply to each and everyone of you who left a comment on my last post. It was a hard week for us but we made it through and your sweet comments, prayers and words of encouragement meant the world…..so HUGE THANKS TO YOU!!!!!! And the girls are doing well.
We took them ALL to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science on Saturday. It was sooooooo stinkin’ cool. They had the best time and I was stoked to finally be able to get a photo of them all together again! YAY! It truly makes mine and Shane’s hearts swell with gratitude to watch these little women play and interact with each other like the sisters they all really are. Even despite the fun drama that comes with it at times too. This is WHY we moved out here. To be a family.
Have a great week everyone! Hopefully the next time I blog I will have some photos and fun news to share about the cutest little baby boy on the planet! Ciao for now!
P.S.
Go check out the Triple the Sketch blog! They have my spotlight/mug up this week and this coming Friday is the big debut day where Patter will be posting the VERY FIRST SKETCH! We are all excited to be sharing it with you. Go leave us some love and tell us how excited you are! LOL

I know you don’t know me…I’ve been a avid follower of your blog for a few years now. I feel like I know you like a sister…but yet you don’t even have a clue who I am. You have given me so much inspiration and comfort through your words posted on your blog. Thank you for your blog!!!! You’ve touched so many lives and you probably don’t even realize how much!
Your blended family is just beautiful! I love all the photos posted and look forward to meeting your son via photos as well!!!
Good luck…take care…and God Bless!

Looking forward to eventually meeting little Brody on your blog. Did I mention no more puppies for a while….well my daughter bought home this tiny little puppy last night. I have 2 happy Grand kids again.
