And in case you need to know what May Day is all about

May Day occurs on May 1 and refers to any of several public holidays.[1] In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. As a day of celebration, however, the holiday has ancient origins and can relate to many customs that have survived into modern times. Many of these customs are due to May Day being a cross-quarter day, meaning that it falls approximately halfway between a solstice and an equinox.

Did you notice the "achievements of the labor movement"? Even more perfect!! I know.....totally out of context but works for me! And it is a day of celebration ;)

Where theres a will theres a way

I am sure we have all heard that saying before, but does it work with having a baby?? From the beginning of my pregnancy I said that I want a May Day baby. I just think that it would be so much fun. So tomorrow is that day.....WILL it happen?? Please pray that it does ;)
God please grant this request because I know that ultimately it is in Your timing and not my own. It would also work great with Collins work situation and not having to take to much time off.

Filled with excitement!!

If you were to come to my house today the kids would give you a play by play of what is going to happen when this baby comes.

"Knock, Knock"
"who is it?"
Lets just say it is our neighbor James who knows none of our friends.
Reese-"Hi! When mommy goes to the hosbital (hospital) I am going to spend the night at Willy's house (Lilly)"
Dallas-"I am going to Brady's house (big smile)!"
Reese-"Ava will go to Amy's to stay with Budgie (Charis)"
James- "oh uh huh" confused look on his face

They have their bags packed and ready to go! Reese woke up and realized she had forgotten to pack her toothbrush....I advised her that you will need to do that when we really "know" the baby is coming.
So ladies I hope that you are ready to take on my kids because they are ready for you for sure!!

Deal or No Deal???


Well I had my doctors appointment and it is a No Deal! He didn't seem to convinced that I am ready to have this baby any time soon. I am barely 2 cm dialated, but he did strip my membranes (the best he could is how he put it). I then convinced him to make one last appointment for Friday so he can do it again ;) I really don't want to be induced so hope it works! Pray for me......I would love to have the baby on May 1st only because I think it would be fun to give him/her flowers ever year.

This last weekend.....

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
