She's almost here!!!

37 & 1/2 weeks down just 12 days to go. Baby Joey will be here soon! My Dr. is looking at inducing on Mar. 25. She isn't due until April 1st, but the doctor has decided he needs a vacation and is going to be out of town for 10 days when I'm due. So he is going to deliver before he leaves town.
I'm so excited it seems so surreal I can't believe she almost here! I had an ultrasound about a week ago the tech checked to make sure Joey still has all the girl parts and her size, she's right on schedule with her growth. She has short femur bones so she's gonna be short like her Mama. And the tech showed me that she has hair and lots of it. I imagine shes gonna look a lot like Alex did when he came out with all his wild crazy hair that just stood up in every direction. I'm just happy I have something to attach a bow too. At my last apt the Dr. said that the baby has dropped and I'm dilated to a 1 if I go into labor he will not stop it. We are having the baby shower next weekend I just hope that I make it til then.
We were trying to get moved before she arrives but, it seems that lots of other people had the same idea as us to move as soon as we got our taxes back. There used to be lots of houses available to rent but now there is nothing so looks like we are gonna wait and try to move over the next month or two. So now where just trying to make room for our new little addition.
The boys are getting more and more excited everyday. Alex says "Baby Girl is going to be here soon, and I'm gonna love her" its so cute, it melts my heart every time. But we will see what he thinks when she actually gets here, were expecting him to act out he is so used to being the baby and getting all the attention. Lewis tells his class about it all the time we offered for him to stay home the day I get induced but he says "no, I want to tell my classmates".

Sorry it took so long, but here is an update!

It's been a while since I was on and now that I know people actually read this to check in on us, I will try to update more often. :P

As everyone probably knows SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE...IT'S A GIRL!!! I am so overly excited about it! We, well I found out the sex on Dec 3, Sean unfortunately was not there. The Dr. was running really late that day so Sean had to take Lewis to catch the bus for school and missed the show. We were supposed to find out the sex of the baby on Nov.11 but she was feeling very modest that day and would not uncross her legs for anything. The ultrasound tech gave me a little glimpse of hope and said "she thought it was a girl but could not tell for sure". So the next time we went in I begged the Dr. for another ultrasound to find out the sex and since he couldn't find her heartbeat he let me have another one. The tech saw 3 little lines and said "yup it's a girl!"

We have settled on a name for her, one that not a lot of people like but Sean and I love it, plus it's one that we could agree on. Her name will be Inara Josephine "Joey". Alex calls her "Baby Girl".

Sean is doing good he's been really busy at work with it being the holidays, we are so happy they are over now so he will be home a little more. He's not to happy about having a little girl he was hoping for a boy and to create his only little Sean look-a-like army. He keeps saying "Great now I need to save up for a shotgun!" Joey will have her Daddy wrapped around her little finger in no time! He is a sucker for Alex and I fear he will give into a baby girl even more!:)

The boys are doing great. Lewis got his report card a couple of weeks ago and did amazing when I went into talk to his teacher she told me that "he can talk and listen at the same time!!!" Who knew!! But really they were testing the kids in his class and Lewis was the only his class to get them right. It was on trapezoids and hexagons and making graphs. His teacher said he is probably the smartest kid in the class and that he gets along with everyone! She has even started sending home 1st and 2nd grade words for him to learn. His best friend in the class in a kid named Reagan who is deaf, Lewis has been working on sign language so he talk to him without the teacher knowing. I am so proud of him!

But my most proudest moment in motherhood happened one night in Nov. we went to Lewis's school for a music program. When Lewis's class came out and the music started they were supposed to be standing still but Lewis was up there moving and grooving to the music like no one was watching. He looked something like a young Forest Gump with all this grooving while the others stood still. Then during the middle of the next song he must have decided that the booger in his nose just could not wait any longer and had to be picked just then! So in went the thumb to dig it out, there was not a more proud mother in that room of 300-400 parents/grandparents than me! I couldn't stop laughing that was my Lewis in all his glory...

Alex is still just Alex a mini monster. He loved Christmas, his favorite part was driving around to look at lights, and would get excited every night when we would plug the tree in. The green lights were his favorite. He talks so much now and at times it is hard to stop him. He got a movie for Christmas and has watched it at least 2x's a day since. I can only stand so much Wow Wow Wubbzy. And now he goes around the house shaking his little body around saying "wubbzy wiggle, wubbzy wiggle" he's a goofball.

I am doing good and loving pregnancy, this one is not as hard as the boys were. And now that my foot and leg no longer hurt I am as happy as can be! That leg and foot pain was by far the worse pain I have ever been in and hope I never go threw it again. I show a lot more with "Baby Girl" then I ever did with the boys and I'm only at 27 weeks. Only 13 more to go! We went to Walmart today and I got so excited because they have started bringing the spring clothes out!!! I had to buy her 2 outfits today because of it, one of them is so dang cute, its yellow with a black and white jumper with bumble bees on it. What can I say I am on cloud 9 with getting my wish come true of getting a girl! I never really thought it would happen... :)
