I am really trying to keep in touch..... Honest!

Hi-
I am not starting out very well in keeping up with this blog. I am setting an early new years resolution to post at least once a week. Since this blog is both my family and scrap blog lets just get caught up.

Isabella is very excited to meet her new baby sister. She has helped us get the crib ready and even picked out a special toy for Elisia Rose. I am so grateful and proud of the person she is. It is challenging at times because she is so smart and I forget she is only 3 1/2 yr old. She is starting to spell out small words and even write a few. It is amazing to see her grow up right in front of me. This is a scrap page I did of her concerning her new big girl bed.

THis page was done with the A Little Bit of This page kit by OMAAT.

Sophia is getting so big, finally! She loves to dance around the house with Bella. I think she is actually more coordinated than her big sis. LOL! I really don't think she has any clue how much life will change next week, I feel so guilty about that. We have tried to explain the whole "baby is in Mommy's belly" but she just giggles and says Belly. She thinks my belly button or lack there of at this point is very funny. She gets cuter everyday and although she doesn't talk much, don't let her fool you, she knows exactly what is going on. This page is of the girls at the Pumpkin Patch this year. I love coordinating outfits! Thank goodness for Gymbucks!

Elisia Rose, what can I say about her. I am so excited to meet her and hold her. I was feeling well up until the day after Thanksgiving and then it really hit the fan. I am uncomfortable, tired, and so swollen that I no longer recognize the lower half of my body. Not that I can actually see it but people tell me. I am trying to just live in the moment of being pregnant, as this will 99% be the last time. Thank goodness for Tylenol. I am scheduled for a c section on Monday December 8th at around noon. I am taking my laptop to the hospital but I will not have internet access, I am already having withdrawls. If everything goes well, we should be home on Wed or Thurs and I plan to post again next Friday. Here is the one and only page I have for Baby Lyse so far:

Well I guess that is all for now. I hope to hear from you so leave me a comment if you can. TTYL
