I love this man

I can't explain it, but it's a crazy kinda love. The faces and words that he says can make me roll my eyes and get this deep gut giggle that I can't help but let the world hear! Loving him has spoiled me forever- it just feels good and I often find myself smiling for no reason at all. I'm sure lots of you know how great it is to have someone who is 'tuned' into your moods. I love that I don't have to explain myself to him- he just 'gets' me. Just being with him doing nothing at all makes me happy. Having his presence in the same house the same room is enough to fill me. I love him!

Today he was leaving the house to go get tattooed with Karley's name- and I thought he looked so cute with his Boston hat! He got this hat when he and I were only dating and were on a trip to Boston. It just made me giggle! I thought I'd post about the wonderful man in my life that I'm lucky enough to call my husband!

2 week's

My beautiful girl turned 2 weeks old yesterday! How time flies? My MIL went home and I was at my house alone with 5 kids for the first time, I have to say it went well. I have great kids, so how could I complain? I even got in about a 20 minute snooze!

Today is BEAUTIFUL here and we're going to all head out for a walk- I could use some fresh air. I'm looking forward to summer- it can't come soon enough except for the fact that my baby girl will be bigger! If they could stay little for a lifetime, I'd curl her into my arms forever.

Monday starts hecticness(is that a word?!)All the kids start swim lessons- I'm gonna be one busy mama. I'm hoping Jason's work is closer to home so that he can help me out in the evenings. I guess Karley is going to be one well traveled girl:)

Worth the Wait

What a relief to have Karely here already! She was perfectly baked and ready to come when she did. Jason, being totally nervous, was fabulous! He loved every moment of natural childbirth- in fact he thinks we should have another one! And I did it- no epidural! So proud (not that I didn't want one). She's here and our family is so blessed. We are tied together as one. The kids couldn't be happier. They love their little sister (connor doesn't care either way :))

Karley is the perfect baby. Already she's only waking once a night to feed and hardley cries. I have been more than blessed with this bundle of joy! I can't wait to keep updating the blog about her- but when I do that it means that she is growing and growing already- which makes me sad. If only they could stay little forever!

Welcome to the World Karley Mae

Karley arrived on March 28, 2008 at 2:41 in the afternoon. It was such a joyful and wonderful experience for Jason and I. We are truly blessed to have this beautiful daughter in our lives! Now starts the documentation of her development!

Ready

When? That's the question that's burning in my mind. I am not a person that's good at waiting. If I want something I want it right here and now. I'm ready for my little girl to be here, anytime now! Her room is ready- I sit and look at it every day and can't wait till she is getting her pictures taken in it. This is the first time I've had the chance to create a nursery! With Alyssa and Jameson I was renting houses and didn't get the chance to paint and make it something special. Jason and I worked tirelessly creating this special space for her, now if she would just get here! Hopefully the next blog I'll be able to tell you that she is here and healthy and I'm so happy to not have this thing occupying my tummy anymore!

Waiting

Isn't it hard to wait? I've never been good with patience, esp. when it comes to great things- like a baby girl! A week ago I drug jason into the photographer to get maternity shots done. He totally thought it was stupid, but I wanted to remember this pregnancy forever- after all it's my last. So I got the pictures back today and it made me more IMPATIENT to meet my little dream come true. Anyway- with all this false labor and excitement, I can't wait to meet her and to show her to the world! Will keep you updated.

My Little Cowboy

Connor is my cowboy through and through, and let me tell you I LOVE IT! He is so much fun. Connor has been gone over a month now in Saskatchewan visiting his gramma and grandpa and I MISS him! We have been doing a small remodel on out house for the past 6 or so weeks adding another bedroom on so that all the kids will have their own. Well today we have pretty much finiahed Connor's room, and he's gone. I can't wait for him to get home and fall in love with his 'Cowboy' room. He's the last of our kids to get their room done pretty much exactly how they wanted it!


Not a lot else is happening. I have had one false alarm with labor and now am having some more happenings today... but am trying to keep busy and not pay too much attention to it.. IT'll happen, right? I wont be uncomfortably pregnant forever, will I? Anyway, I'm looking forward to 4 things in particular in my life at this time: Getting my hands on my baby girl, spring flowers popping through, My mom coming to visit and Connor coming home! Good things are happening in the near future! I'll keep you posted!
