"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

Happy New Year 2013...and 28 Weeks....

This year we let the boys stay awake til midnight, not too tough for us still cause we are all running on hawaii time, the 3 hour delay in time is a rough one to get over. The boys played game and i worked on pictures til it was time to watch the ball drop then we opened up some sparkling cider and toasted to the new year and all the fun things that are coming our way. This morning kaylin came to me and "mom you didnt let us stay up til midnight for the new year" nick and i laughed and said "do you not remember watching the big ball drop on tv and the fire works out side??" he smiled and said "oh was that the new year" lol so silly. He has never stayed awake til this year so he wasnt quite sure what it was i guess!

While we were on vacation i didnt do anything online so i missed a few weeks of belly pic's, i tried to remember to take some in hawaii and the ones i did get, well they are from a 6 year old point of view and not the best and it was always when i was not ready for the day so dont judge cause if you do i wont care anyways!

Iam 28 weeks and 1 day today, Iam hoping for a 37 or 38 week delivery since the other two boys came that time. so the next 10 weeks are making me nervous...I am so afraid to have 3 kids and manage them and give all of them my equal time. Kiptin still is my little baby and Im not sure I was ready for another..He has stayed so little to me i guess cause i havent pushed him to grow up and do big kid stuff i guess..he is just going to be starting potty training and will be going to preschool in a few months.
I feel like i have not really grown much this past 5 or so weeks, and i have no idea how this little guy fits in there, i know he is there cause he is a pain in my side lol, he hits my sciatic nerve so many times each day and man is that painful and now he has ventured up into my ribs but instead of being IN my ribs he like to go ON TOP of them which doesnt feel the best either :) Iam hoping i dont pop out huge all the sudden cause really i want to get my pre baby body back as fast as i can so its not as hard to get it all off again!
He is such a mover now, i was worried for a few weeks because my doc wanted him moving 10 times in an hour one time a day and he was no where near that, maybe 10 movements total a day, but last weekend he upped his energy probably by sucking it out of me :)
he now moves WAY more then 10 times an hour each hour usually, he has about 20 to 30 naps where i finally have some peace from all the punching and kicking but I am also so happy to feel him move around in there and know that things are ok.
I go in for my apt tomorrow so we shall see how things are after that!

*again dont judge my photos :)


good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
