Restfulness as a Mom???

Yesterday I think I overdid it because by the end of the day I couldn't move, I was so sore. I went on quite a long walk in the morning and then painted and organized Talmage's room. I was pretty tired by the middle of the day but couldn't stop because HELLO this baby is going to be here any time now. So my wonderful husband was there always trying to help. By dinner time I was thinking eggs sounded good, nice and easy. So I came down stairs with Izzy and walked into the kitchen and there was Josh and Lilli making dinner. Wow that was a major treat. So I decided I would sit down and relax. So there I am sitting on the couch with Izzy snuggled close. Just thinking how blest I am to have such a wonderful and amazing husband wonderful girls, and how nice it was just to sit and relax while my hunny made dinner. I was just soaking it all......until Izzy looks up and me and says "I feel wetness" (she is in panties now, it's been 2 days) My "dream" state is abruptly interupted as I look down on the couch to see....yes a whole lotta "wetness," yes pee. Needless to say I wasn't too happy to be yanked out of restfulness! As mom's we all know it only comes once in awhile:) Izzy knew I wasn't to happy and the look on her face was "I'm sorry and I feel terrible." It was too cute and before she could cry I told her that her sister Lilli had done that once when she was potty training, she smiled at that and into the tub she went. I did make it clear that peeing on the couch, is really yucky and that she will never do it again..right? I am thankful for the few moments of restfulness I was able to have. The work of a mother never ends does it. It's dang hard at times but the wonderful things about it far out weigh the hard times. Josh made a delicious dinner of apricot chicken, one of our new favorites, Rhodes rolls fresh out of the oven and potatoes. YUM it was so delicious! Thanks Babe!:) I am so grateful for my two beautiful princess's and a soon to be little boy. Wow the time is coming fast. How do I feel about #3...well I'm excited a little apprehensive. This is all new territory for me...a boy but we are all excited! Who knows when he will come he could really come anytime now. I hope I last until at least the first part of March; I have a shower to attend, a room to finish painting and a closet to organize:) Wish me luck!:)

I wish I could be there to help you out Stacy. I am praying that all goes well with you. Man I miss you so much and I really wish I could be there with you. Love you always and forever. I can't wait until Talmage comes to earth and until James and him meet. I already know they are going to be best buds.

I feel your tiredness...is that even a word? Your hubby...so thoughtful.The wetness is always a pain, especialy at 3 in the morning. Put your feet up and save the painting for later.

That is a cute name. I didn't realize that he will get here so soon! Good luck with everything! Relax...you know you won't get to as much once he's here. The nursery can be "finished" anytime before their first birthday...that's what I think. I'm still working on finishing touches for Evelynn's room.

Also, don't worry about being a mom to a boy. It just comes naturally...it really does.
