Our Family: It's Starting.....

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

It's Starting.....

I went into the doc's yesterday for my 36 week apt. and she told me its now time to start the "checking" every week from here on out so i was pretty excited but tried not to get my hopes up that something had started to happen yet, she told me that its perfectly normal to be nothing or maybe just 1cm at this point so not to worry if that was the case...i told her i sure hope I'm more then that...she then proceeded to the fun part that everyone just loves....and she says "holy cow girl, your a 3 and 70%" and she said "oh my gosh your cervix is awesome i cant believe it, and his head is right here i can feel it, you just might get your wish for him to be here early after all!!!!"
Can i just say i had the biggest perma smile on my face....i know that i could stay this way for a long time but I'm just going to keep telling my self that I'm progressing everyday so some magic will happen!!!!
I really want him here the week before Christmas and would LOVE for him to come on his own and for me not to be induced so my fingers are crossed...everyone pray for me and send good mojo my way for him to come out!!!!
if you have any tricks on how to get contractions and whatever else let me know so i can start trying them next week!!!!

Kaylin's Funnies!

set up: nick and kaylin are playing video games.

"your not very good dad, you should let me show you how to do it"

"Iam really snart, i know stuff " (snart: meaning smart)

set up: kaylin wants to sleep in our bed.

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

"oh mom why did you take this off, let me fix it"

"no kaylin leave it alone, let daddy fix it"

"I can do it...see mom, fixed"

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
