addie had her first primary program today, and i missed it.
im still sick.
i was so sad.
i felt so bad that i wouldn't be there to cheer her on. mark texted me from church (i know, we are so bad) during the program and said, "o! addie saw me when she stood up to sing. she got a big smile and waved. i'm so proud of her." at that moment my heart was so happy. but i was so jealous he got to enjoy that moment without me. but i'm so glad he was able to go and she was able to go. i had her sing her favorite song for me when she got home.
she is so beautiful, her smile is so sweet, i love her more than i can say.
we have been sick in our house this week. today it hit us super hard. callie has had a 100 + fever for the past 3 days. we have cold, cough, headache symptoms. i took callie to the doctor today and he didn't come out and say , "yes, you have swine flu". but he pretty much said we have swine flu. right now, I'm trying to listen to my body. make sure my cough doesn't get too bad. a little worried but just being careful and taking it easy, which is super hard with two little ones. we brought up the coloring books to mamas bed so i can rest and they can be entertained.
this one of course has to be silly. we talked about what color baby brother will like (pink) and about coloring in the lines. i read a teeny tiny bit of my book. we are getting a little stir crazy, but i guess its getting us ready to stay home with our little man on the way.
hope you all stay healthy. loves.
i ground the wheat and made some bread. it didn't quite turn out as i wanted, never does. every time i make it, i tell myself never again. its not worth the time, the mess and the the wasting of precious wheat flour. but i always try it again. one of these days i will get it right and it will be perfect, until then, its just making my house smell good.:)

baby brother bump
went to the doc this week. it is still a boy, yay! he is currently 5 lbs. 14 oz. (what addie weighed when she was born). i am 2 cm dialated. we will see what these next few weeks have in store for us.
i had a baby shower, thrown by my fab friend, jessica. she did an awesome job and i have such generous family and friends. i washed all the little clothes. they are folded in the closet just waiting for him. there are a few things i still need to get, a bassinet sheet and some baby gowns. but other than that, we are good to go.
im having a hard time sleeping and getting comfortable sitting. im slow and waddle when i walk, im at the home stretch. right now im trying to focus on keeping my house picked up, spending time with the girls, trying to get as much sleep as possible, finish up halloween costumes. basically keeping my mind busy so i dont think about the baby too much, it makes me anxious and stressed if i think about it too much. just taking it day by day. but i am looking forward to the newborn stage. i think i will enjoy it and savor it a little more, knowing how fast it goes by. i cant wait to smell that newborn smell and hold his little body.
i will savor up those moments.
yesterday we met my mom in payson (halfway for both of us, and my grandma and grandpa live there). it was to celebrate my moms birthday,,, shhhh, shes 48! it also was nice to spend a day
in wonderful cool weather, i was actually cold and i wish that i had a sweater. it was nice just to go down for the day, since baby brother could come anytime. it was a perfect break and change in scenery before the arrival. we had soup and sandwiches, played at the park, did some antiquing and had us some cake and ice cream. our daddy even got to come on the little journey with us.
*these adorable mini pumpkin pies over at bakerella. making these!
