Another great weekend over!

Well, it's Sunday night and time to go to bed. Unfortunately, I'm not looking forward to Monday but I am looking forward to Thursday because that starts our 4 day weekend for the 4th! Woohoo. Then just two more weeks and the ceremony will be over and my plate will be clear from this craziness!

I did get alot done this weekend which was the goal. My last two Friday's I had been coming home for lunch with this unknown energy source and making waves in cleaning up the house. It just doesn't get done during the week. But this past Friday, I laid on the couch for over an hour with the intentions of getting some rest and them jumping up. Yeah.....that so didn't happen. And once I actually got up, I lingered on the computer for over an hour as if I didn't have a job to get back to. I got hubs to help which was a whole other story for another day and all of the bathroooms got cleaned, the floors swept and mopped, and a bunch of other stuff that was just behind. Now if I would just stop ignoring the overflowing pile of laundry in our room. Maybe this weekend....who knows?

However, baby #3 is doing well! For the time being, I'm calling him he! We officially find out on the 16th of July. Another reason to miss Germany, no ultrasounds. I went for my monthly checkup this week and I won't say it was a waste of time...but it was. The midwife felt my uterus and that was all. I could've done that at the house. And I don't go back for another 6 weeks. I get a more cozy feeling with my midwife that I'm paying but maybe that's how it goes. I really am spoiled from the other two so I know the ropes but I still felt that my doctor actually gave me a good 20 to 30 min of patient time every time I went in. In the end though, I feel good, I know little man's good 'cause he's moving around and letting me know so all is well!

On that note, I'm off to do some reading and maybe some sleep. Hubs is playing the tv and talking loud. I gotta teach these guys how to whisper, LOL!

On being a mom...

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." — J.R. Miller
