Our life

First off...HI! It's been too long and way to much has happened. I just can't seem to be able to stop. think. write. So I'm going to make a list of the things that have/are/and might happen.

1. We are having another BABY!! Yeah, for babies. We are very excited and so far I'm feeling great! Praise the Lord hope it lasts!! I'm due April 24th..ish...

2. Townes is way excited for another baby! He keeps waiting for baby to kick him..so I make my belly move around and he is utterly amazed and shouts "The baby kicked me"! He doesn't need to know it's me :)

3. A very special person passed away on Saturday. Danny's Grandpa Hyde. Townes 'Hyde' is named after him, he was an amazing, loving man. He is with Jesus and as healthy as ever in Heaven and we rejoice with that. Though we do have moments of great sadness..like tonight..as Townes prayed " Jesus, please help Great Grandpa Hyde get better so we won't be sad". The tears ran down our faces as we had to again explain where he was.

4. We are putting our house on the market, ASAP.

5. Danny's been doing a lot of photography lately.

6. I'm getting Doula certified next weekend, I'm very excited. I've gotten to share the precious moment of births with several mothers and want to make it official.

7. We are planning on moving to OMAHA, NE.

8. I'm very excited about all the opportunities in Omaha but I'm so sad to be leaving my family, my dear friends and even my sweet little house.

9. I got super sad today when Townes said " I love Townes' house, I no want to move"!

10. Had an ugly.ugly cry the other night...hormones..but my sweet husband just listened. Wow, it really helped.

11. Moving, pregnancy, looking for maternity care, loosing Grandpa, selling our house, going through all our junk, $$ all made me do #10

12. Really feels the need to love my little brother more.

13. Misses being a part of our nephews/nieces lives :(

14. Is ok with not being able to do it ALL!

15. So thankful for God's mercies every morning.

16. Is having a difficult time with making dinner lately..I'm bored with our foods.

17. Loves my husband more than I ever thought I could, and hope to love him even more as we grow old together.

18. Misses my children when they aren't with me or they are asleep :)

19. Has got to get a handle of my basement..junk everywhere.

20. Loves that the weather is almost chilly outside.

21. Needs to take more photos of my kids.

22. I decided to not read blogs that make me feel like less of a wife and mom.

23. Found a midwife in Des Moines that will come to Ames to deliver baby

24. Well, we might not be in Ames when baby is born soooo baby will be born at Grandma and Grandpa's house if we move out of state... Ha, My Dad doesn't know what to think of that
