Why does Murphy always slap down his law?

Everything could be going OK. But my pal Murphy who lurks around every corner I come to turn, rears his ugly head again. I'm just kidding, some people say things happen for a reason I'm just trying to find out what that reason is most of the time.

So my Dr. is back in town. I'm tired of being with child, and I am ready to have this little one. Low and behold I caught a screaming head cold last week. Well over the weekend it reared itself into a chest cold and a small flu bug (maybe) Lets just day I cough so hard I puke and then I feel unsettled and puke so hard I cough. Darn the bad luck. Murphy take your laws and go pester someone else. Now I have to wait out the extra time until this bug goes away to have my little baby. I don't want her to get sick just as she makes her grand arrival. So here's to waiting out another week. And hopefully much as I had hoped she'd come early now I'm hoping she wont.

But much thanks to my sweet little family whose trying to be so understanding and loving. I can't tell you how hard it is not to kiss the ones you love when your sick. And how hard it is for them not to kiss me better. I realized more than ever how affectionate we truly are with one another. I'm very grateful for my family and the love they give to me (or in the case over the weekend the love they want to give me all the time)

Antelope Island

Because school is starting and we have the kids around a lot less than usual we took some good family time and spent the day at Antelope Island. Aside from a few hiccups we had a great day. It wasn't too hot but then again hotter then I enjoyed. We all got a little sunshine on our cheeks. Who would have thought. Here are some pictures for you to check out. The weather is going to cool down soon and we will move on to other outings. This was Michael's first time going to the island and I think for Eric and Emily too. Unfortunately Danielle wasn't with us. But Nicholas and I have been there several times before. Enjoy.

Its not her cell phone its her alarm clock

As of last week, we have been informed that this little princess could arrive at anytime!!! Yippie, is all I can say. We are scheduled to induce labor on the 25Th of Sept. (Ya, keep in mind Nicholas is not thrilled she's coming early) But really she could make her grand entrance at any time. I'm already preparing for her and my body as much as myself wouldn't mind sending her an eviction notice in the next week or so. Only a couple things to worry about, 1. my Dr. is out of town next weekend, I hope Murphy's law doesn't kick in, and 2. Auntie Char is hosting a shower for us and I'd hate to be in labor then. So much as I wish she would rise and shine early I have to try and wait until the 15Th. Then anything goes! I really wanted an Oct. baby but I'm not against another September baby at this point. I'm so over this pregnant thing.

Bu bye Summer

Yes! I am so excited to be getting into the Autumn season! I am so over Summer. Not that it has been terrible hot, just that I have been so restricted this last summer I am happy its all over. Besides fall is my favorite time of year! I love the colors, the coolness, the smells. Hmmm yes the smell of fall. I like the crackling of the leaves when they turn colors and start to fall to the ground. Reminds me of the childhood I dreamed of having. LOL. I should write a children's book to live vicariously through. I'm happy to report that our weekend in Park City went very well. It was nice to get away (even if it wasn't very far) It was still a vacation to me. Michael, Nicholas and Myself enjoyed every moment of it. From the food to the sights and to the shopping!!!! Of course due to the rainy weather we were limited in what we initially wanted to do but that just means that next time we will still have stuff on the agenda to follow up with. From the Olympic sights to the Alpine slide, coaster and zip line. And the next time we're there I'll be able to do those things and not be left out. So all in all it was a good way to close out a summer! We are now just preparing for fall and for baby! Both coming soon!

Odds N Ends

ugh I'm so uncomfortable today. Could it be the crown burger from yesterday or the fact that my baby belly reaches places before I do? Only 8 weeks left. I don't know that I can make it that long. Ugh. Every once in awhile it seems that time goes by too quickly while at other times it just doesn't move fast enough. I'm caught between both scenerios. I have so much to get done before Halli arrives and feel like I have no time. I don't sleep, I can't sit still, can't clean enough or rest enough and on and on and on go the mumblings. There are still so many things I need to get to even be ready for her arrival and yet I know I'm not getting them done. Somethings I think will have to wait until after she gets here (poo-poo I'm pouting). I procrastinated thinking I'll see if I need it later. lol. Silly me. I wanted to have everything stocked and ready by Aug. 1st. And here I am just starting and its Aug. 5th already. Panic mode has started. Other people call it Nesting. Not for me its pure panic mode. Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself. I like things to e organized and ready and waiting unfortunately life takes over and doesn't always follow my idea or plans. Such as life I should say. I will eventually get it done. I'm giving myself the next 4 weeks to try to get what I can checked off my lists. So while I'm at it any suggestions for things that MUST be done before the baby arrives? My PBD (Pregnancy Brain damage) kicks in and I forget many things. LOL>

While the kids will play the mom will stay

Oh its a hot Monday and I'm stuck here at work while my cute little family is at ... Yes the place for cool refreshing water and fun... Cherry Hill!!! Oh, so sad. I wish I could be there too. So while Michael has his hands full of all 4 kids and the water park I figured the next best thing I could do was treat myself to a little crown burger. (Garden burger and onion rings) Yummy!!! So as they play and have fun, I will stay at work and try to enjoy yummy food instead! Ha ha ha. It really is a treat because I don't let myself eat there often. Its not exactly cheap food for fast food and its so bad for you!!! So cheers to all of us for something special on a Monday!
