Feelings

It is Sunday morning around 11 which believe it or not is EARLY for me because of the night I had last night. Katie had gas last night and cried and cried. I could not console her but so desperately wanted to. It is so hard to see your child in pain and not be able to fix the problem. I found some positions that worked for her but they were all standing up and rocking/bouncing her which my body just can't handle yet. Finally at 4 in the morning I went and woke up my mother in order NOT to have a total breakdown. Mom turned out to be a life saver. She took Katie from me sent me to bed and let me sleep. She brought her to me to feed at 6:30 then I went back to bed and so did they. They are actually still sleeping. Yeah for Mothers. Especially mine.
Other than last night, being a mother of two and having beautiful little Katie around is wonderful.

Happy Birthday Katie

Here she is, our little baby girl, Katie Arlene Endsley. She came out crying and didn't stop till I fed her. She came easy with 3-4 pushes, so easy in fact the doctor almost missed it. 7 lbs 10 oz. 20" long. Kevin is still a little unsure and misses his parents, but we just have to make sure we give him lots of attention. We are so happy to have Katie in our lives, we think we are so very blessed.

Family of Four... Almost

The last picture of our family of 3 before little Katie comes. I still can't believe it is happening tomorrow. I am so excited to meet her and hold her. She is going to be so little compared to our Kevin. He is going to seem GINORMOUS. I will keep ya'll posted. Don't forget to vote on how big she is going to be. Bye Bye

Old McDonald had a farm

Kevin was so excited when we told him that we were going to go see some horses. He even made the horse sound which was hillarious. Our friend Liesl Harr owns a horse at a corral that is not far from where we are staying, and she let us and Collette's girls come over and ride the horses. It was so fun.

Daddy and Son

I am currently sitting here watching one of the cutest things happen with my son and his Daddy. Adam is pretending to cry about needing his blanket, so Kevin came up to him and so seriously said "a blankie... uh two" and ran away fast with a serious face saying "fast" while he went and got his 2nd blanket for Adam so that he would be happy. He gave it to him and Adam stopped "crying" when Kevin looked at Adam seriously again and said "a Bunny" and ran away fast to go get his bunnies for his Dad. He just wanted to make his Dad happy and I think it relfects on Adam's parenting of Kevin. He is always right there whenever Kevin needs anything and if it is a reasonable request he will totally fulfill it.
I love to watch them together, they are best buds.

I can see the light... sometimes

Here I sit... very pregnant, wondering to myself how someone with more than one kid EVER makes it through the end of pregnancy. Seriously, I am so tired. Everything takes so much longer to do and so much of my energy to do it. I really am not trying to complain, but wow I am so glad that I know when it is going to end. I know for sure I could NOT go two weeks overdue like I did with Kevin. I think it also has to do with the fact that I don't have my husband here all the time like I did with my first pregnancy. It really does make a difference. Thank goodness I get to see him on Friday night.
So if you didn't already know from talking to me, I will let you know now that although I am due on the 11th of October, I will be induced at 4:00 a.m. (a lovely time I know) on Wednesday the 7th. YEAH the end is near. I still have fears that this baby girl will come out a baby boy, but hey, at least we have a lot more clothes for a boy than we do a girl. We sure would be set in that regard, although emotionally it took me so long to get really excited about having a girl that it would be just my luck that our little "she" would be a HE.
I bought some flannel today to make a few receiving blankets for Katie since I don't have any girl blankets yet. As soon as I finish blogging I am going to go finish my art project I have for her wall, and start sewing the blankets. I am really excited to decorate her room and I will post some pictures as soon as I actually LIVE in my house.
Can I just write really quick how grateful I am for my husband. He is so so organized and so clean and neat that I know for a fact when I walk into our house in Arizona I will feel so at home there. He has been trying hard every day after work to get everything unpacked and ready for when we come to live there. What a great man he is. I am so blessed in that regard.
Okay this post has turned out to be really long... sorry.
Bye

Thoughts so that I can sleep tonight

I am so not in the mood to blog, but here we go anyway.
*I feel at the moment like my WHOLE belly is stretching and it is not so very comfortable.
*I miss my husband
*I gave up potty training pretty much completely
*There is nothing to watch on T.V. and all I want to do is lounge and watch a good show
*I am sad that I have like 2 pictures of my pregnant belly because nobody is here to take a picture of me. (i.e. my husband)
*I wish I could help my husband unpack and organize our house in AZ
*Sleeping isn't fun
*Kevin is so very cute it makes me laugh every time I think of his smile
*I love my friends and family and I feel incredibly blessed.
*I can't believe I only have 3 weeks till my due date
*My doctor is going to be out of town smack in the middle of when I was originally going to be induced and now we have to wait 3 EXTRA days which is um... sad.

Other than that nothing else is really on my mind.
Bye Bye

Potty Training

OH MY GOSH WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME IT WAS GOING TO BE SO HARD???
But look at how cute he is with those little undies on. I love him and things are getting better, he is learning and I am TRYING to be patient.

Little Ties for Little Guys

I found this blog through my friend Jessica Sievers and as soon as I saw it I was so excited to get matching ties for Adam and Kevin. It definitely took me long enough to order a tie for them but here it is. Aren't they so cute. Okay Kevin is cute, Adam looks hot.

CanDAY

My hubby keeps telling me I need to post this video on our blog so here it is. Sorry if you have already seen it on my facebook or through email.
Before you watch it though please be assured that I was not looking back at him while driving rather I set my hand on the head rest of the passenger seat and continued to look at the road while filming him. Just as safe as talking on the phone although that might not be considered safe to a lot of people either.
Please enjoy.
