Nada, Zip, Zilch,Nothing......

IS GOING ON DOWN THERE!!!!!!! I have not even progressed from last week. So don't feel like you have to check the baby blog update daily because it looks like little Seth is having a perfectly good time perfecting his boxing skills INSIDE my belly!!!! :)
(please note: I am not sinfully complaining about no progression....I simply am so EXCITED for WONDERFUL little babies to make their appearance....I KNOW it is God's perfect timing for this little one to come!!!!! I just can hardly stand to not be holding him and looking at the face of my little miracle!!!!!

Stay tuned(could be weeks:)

I'll post THE LAST belly pic soon:)

Doctor appt. Friday

hahaha seems with my last post some thought this baby was making it's arrival:) Nope....feel like NOTHING is happening! I go in tomm. a.m for another check up. Maybe, just maybe, the doc will be like ''woooo nelly! this baby is going to come ANY DAY, MAYBE EVEN ANY HOUR!!!'' ya think? not likely huh? My toenails have not been painted so that wouldn't be good timeing anyhow:) We did get the carseat the other day, i felt like it was christmas with the UPS man delivering the package, we practiced by putting jakes teddy bear in it and oh, he loved it! He tickled it and hugged it....hopeing for more of that in a few weeks:)
I have been ''nesting'' here lately as well.....won't bore you with all the things I can find to clean and then feel so tired I wanna cry when i don't have enough stamina to clean the bottoms of my kitchen cabinets and the grooves in all the doors. Poor jake...he probably thinks mom has gone looney with it all.....im putting him to work too, I bought him his very own broom to help out. Maybe soon, this crazyness will be over!

I will update in the morning.

We are finished!!!!!

Here is Seth's finally finished room.


The blanket you see there on the chair is the BEAUTIFUL baby blanket Robin Miracle made for Seth. Little did I know that it totally matched the nursing cover Rebecca made me! LOVE matchy-matchy stuff:)

The room has really no ''theme'' we liked the retro cars and tin posters...we really liked the orbit room one:) My wonderful sister-in-law made the valence and the bedding. Round crib bedding is SO EXPENSIVE and so ugly:( She was kind enough to offer and save us tons of money.

36 weeks

no belly pic yet, but...I went to the Dr. today and I have started dilating...almost 1 cent. and 50% effaced. I didn't expect much of anything at 36 weeks but at least I know SOMETHING has started:)

Jake Updates

This is Jake playing hide and seek under the table...not a very good hiding spot! The other is proof positive of us trying to work on table manners:)




These last 3 weeks have been full of challenges and surprises in the hasty house. With my grandmother suffering a major heart-attack and needing an emergency quadruple bypass resulting in taking Jake to Asheville with me, Him having a looong bout of fevers and emergency car repair bills on both our cars that could rival lottery winnings...;) And James uncle given only 2 months to live due to cancer spreading all through his body.......it has been a....season. With that to say, my little man has been SUCH A JOY!!!!! He has been his usual sweet, energetic self even when he had 103 degree temperatues! We have really felt the Lord's kindness through our little trooper these last weeks! I look forward to seeing his sweet ''sleepy'' face when I get him up in the morning and hearing him say''hi'' to everything in his room..one by one. He thinks everything is ''pitty''-pretty-...and is becoming quite the social busy bee. There is not person at Target he won't pass without waving to and saying HEYYYYYYY! We are really working on staying in the shopping cart in stores, otherwise he will take off in the direction of the nearest person to socialize. He is now pointing to my belly saying''babbbyyy'' over and over..hmmm...maby he IS getting it? We have moved him to the table in a booster chair, with that has come early lessons in table manners. Every meal is a new opporunity to explain why he can't pour his yogurt on his head or take chewed food back out of his mouth just to re-eat...yuck! He does love being a part of our conversations though, chiming in with us, understanding 30% of what he is so emphatically trying to saying to us:)
He has taken a new interest in coloring and play-doh and to my surprise, sat for a full 45 minutes playing with his array of colors of play-doh. He begs to sit and watch me cook every evening, it has stretched my cooking time and my patience but has proven to even more be a sweet, sweet time together. He helps me to measure and stir and of course, taste!
James found an onion and squash piece in his coffee canister that was filled with coffee. Jake has apparently snuck some pieces in when I didn't see him and James noticed the next day his coffee tasted funky.....:) Jake still loves anything that has to do with matchbox cars, trains, curious george, dogs, balls, pool time, and ice cream. I guess the ever typical little boy!
I think i am done for now, James just asked me if I was writing a book:)

playing in the rain

This is what we did on July 4th...waiting for the rain to let up to go see fireworks in Harrisburg...it never stopped, so we played outside instead. Jake loved the fireworks he did see from our neighbors backyards.
