Still Pregnant

I am 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. I have 12 days to go until my due date. I am really hoping that the baby will come soon (like tonight). I am so excited to meet him, and would really like to not have heartburn anymore. I will be posting pictures as soon as he arrives. Please keep praying that all will go smooth with the delivery.

We are still planning on delivering at the birth center. I am really hoping for a water birth. We try to go swimming as often as we can, and I am so much more comfortable in the water.

For those of you that don't know me personally, I was in diving in high school, and practically lived in the water for seven years. I am comfortable there and would love to experience a water birth.

Jameson told me today that he doesn't want another brother. Instead he would like a sister. I told him that he should pray about it. "Maybe someday God will give you a little sister." I am not sure he liked that answer, but that's all I could say.

Gavin is going to have a hard time with the new baby. He already has a hard time sharing my attention with anyone else. He is having a really hard time with mommy not being able to pick him up all the time. He is 16 months and 28 pounds. That is just a little to much for me right now. I do snuggle with him a lot on the couch though. He seems to be crawling into my lap quite a bit. I think he knows things are about to change.

Teagen is starting to become a little rebelious. Of course he is 3 now. He is learning how to write his letters, and gets angry when I try to help him, or ask him to write other letters. He is very independent. He also wants to help all the time, but is not big enough or strong enough to do the things he wants to do.

Jameson is a huge helper. He does dishes and laundry and sweeps and so much more. The only things he doesn't do on his own yet are, cooking on the stove (he's too short) and diaper changing (he refuses). He just started taking showers every day. He wants to be like daddy. He also is wearing deoderant. He doesn't really need it, but he wants to wear it. After all, he is a big boy now. I am really looking forward to all the help he will be able to provide when the new baby comes.

I can't imagine having another blessing added to all the ones that have already been given to me. God has been so good to us. Despite all the trials we have been through lately, I am still in awe at how much he loves me. He has entrusted me with the lives of four little boys. I am responsible for teaching the and raising them to love God, their creator. At times I don't think I can do it. At other times I am so excited. Thank you so much God for my family, both biological and spiritual. Thank you God for saving me, and giving me the gift of eternal life, that I may teach my children the truth.
