Baby Shower

Melissa (BFF) threw me the BEST of the BESTEST baby showers on Saturday! Her house was decorated so dang cute! Thank you Melissa! It was such a fun time. So many of the people I love dearly came and I was extremely touched by the generosity everyone showed. I am very lucky to have wonderful and caring friends. I had butterflies in my tummy before the shower started, afraid no one would come. I mean... this IS baby number 6! Thank you to EVERYONE who came. I totally scored! I don't have a single excuse to run to the mall to get things for this little guy. (name TBD ---Rick isn't sold on what me and the kids have been calling him for the last four months) I have blue clothes and blankets coming out the wazoo!!! Yea for us!!!!!
Two of the gifts for the baby have become the property of others in the family. Lyndee thinks the Elmo Towel is hers and Rick has adopted the fuzzy brown/silky blue blanket that Melissa B made. Ha ha ha :)

Happy Birthday!

Today is one of my bestest friends from High School's birthday. Happy Birthday Nicole! One of the things I love most about Nicole is that we can go a very long time without seeing or talking to each other and we seem to be able to pick right up like no time has passed at all.

YO GABBA GABBA

My DVR is set to record the season premier of YO GABBA GABBA on Thursday morning - channel 37 - 11:30am.
You know how the show has guest musicians?? Guess who it is on Thursday!!!!!
WOOO HOOO!!!
There's a party on my TV... so groovy... so groovy...

Getting Ready

I ordered Halloween Costumes. They came this morning. We tried them on and Lyndee comes up to me and says "cheese". I went to the fridge to get her some cheese. That's not what she wanted. She wanted me to take pictures.

Breaking Dawn

After reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "3 Cups of Tea"... I finally have found time to start and finish Breaking Dawn.
I'm disappointed.
I didn't love it.

Results...

The results of my Amnio came back today.
Everything is perfect. Chromosones are normal.
Huge sigh of relief.
Now the focus is on getting this kids lungs developed.
The terbutaline started today.
The countdown is on!

My Favorite Things Today:

1. Lyndee saying "I love you"
2. Dylin telling me how cool her Kindergarten teacher is
3. Rylee cuddling with me saying she wants to skip school and hang with mom

4. Mykee teaching her dance kids new things and telling them the rules
5. Bryton telling me all about the Stake Dance on Saturday night
6. Rick coming home early from work to cook a yummy dinner, play with kids
7. Baby "Jayson" using my ribs as monkey bars - I am trying really hard to LOVE these moments seeing how I will never expierence them again
8. My girls giving me a home pedicure

9. Playing in the rain

10.Bill coming once a week to clean my house!!!

Big Day

So Dylin comes into my bathroom the other day and says, "Mom! I want to get my ears pierced!"
The rule in our home is this: The girls can get their ears pierced when they are old enough to ask for it, otherwise, I'd have them done when they are babies. This is a compromise between Rick and I. He'd rather wait until they are older.
The same day she asked for them, Rick and I took her to get them pierced. She only cried for 30 seconds. And since then, she is SO careful with them. She is very concerned about her hair getting tangled in the earrings - or her shirts ripping them out of her ear when she changes clothes. She is really good about making sure we clean them every day.
She's most excited to be able to change them on her Birthday!! Yea Dylin!!
