Finally a Friday of Sunshine!

So, FINALLY we have had 2 days of sunshine! Its amazing! I have never wanted to see the sun more in my life I think! I hate being cold and i have absolutely hated this weather so far until yesterday. Due to the long awaited days, I see that there is hope for better days! I am now 26 weeks along now and its getting closer by the second. I have loved being pregnant, it has it ups and downs, but the morning sickness was the worst. But I know it was worth it!! And honestly I would do it again. But if I don't get that opportunity, I know I was blessed to do it the first time!!! Daniel is getting more excited everyday for her arrival! He keeps telling me how when she gets older, all the things they are going to do together. I just hope I don't get jealous! I mean, for the last 7 years almost I have had him to myself, now there will be another girl, a more important girl in his life! I can't blame him for wanting to spend every moment with her because I will probably be the same way. It will all work out I am sure, i am just a worrier, and think WAAAAYYYY to much! On the other hand, we have a name!! Finally! It only took Daniel like months to figure out what he wanted. I finally just had to sit him down and give him 2 options and made him pick one. I was tired of people asking me what "her" name was going to be and not having an answer for them. I mean I would love to and I think I could hold out til she got here to tell her name but I want all those cute monogrammed things and cant get them if people don't know her name!! I am lucky to have such wonderful people in my life that are taking the time to check on me and baby girl and have helped out whenever needed!
I still have so much to do before she arrives here in 13 weeks! Wow, 13?! It will be here before we know it! Her crib shall be here in the next few days! We have her carrier and stroller and almost all her room stuff. I will be painting(or shall I say getting help painting) her shelves. We are registering for our showers this weekend and I plan on getting her letters for her wall on this weekend also. I hope to shampoo her carpet soon too just so that it is done!! I am so excitedly nervous and surprisingly calm at the same time! How weird? I guess its the " Mommy-to-Be" nerves. One of my good friends Sabrina is due one week before me and I have been lucky to have someone going thru the same things with. She is having a little girl also, Miss Hadley Ann Strain, and can't wait for our girls to have play dates. It will be so nice.
At last i want to ask for some prayers for next week please. My littlest niece Reagan is having surgery Monday morning. She will be having her tonsils and adenoids taken out and even tho it is thought of as a simple procedure of only like 30 min, because of her being so small and being a preemie, its still a delicate case. She will for sure have to stay overnight Monday night and if she is keeping down enough liquid and breathing OK, she will get to come home Tuesday! That is what we are praying for! I love that little girl more than myself and I would put myself on that operating table any day so that she would never have to be. I mean, after about 17 times, you get a little use to it. But I know I cant do it for her but I will be there in the waiting room praying and sending my love to her! Please just add her name in your prayer on Monday if you don't mind. And add my sister. because she will be a nervous & stressed wreck then and will need all the help she can get!
Oh, and please say a little one for me on Tuesday. I have to see a Cardiologist about my Tachycardia issues. I'm sure its just a precaution thing but I am still a little nervous! Well I guess I will ttyl!!

Today is one for the memory books!

Today I have done a bunch of nothing. Felt pretty worthless until I received a phone call from my sister this morning. As I was engulfed at the fact that our main conversation piece was about a "Buy one Get One Free deal at Publix, I could hear my oldest niece in the background harassing my sister as she often does when her daily plans have been changed. See she gets that from me. I get a mind set in my head of how things are going to go and when they change, it takes me some time to re-adjust. After listening to her give my sister a hard time, I requested to speak with her b/c back talking a parent is something I just CAN NOT stand!! Which is weird b/c my mother tells me all the time of how when I was smaller, I was a master of it! lol. Before I could even get the words of "stop talking to your mother like that", she was already asking me if she could come to my house! This something that hasn't happened in a while. In the time before the 2nd niece Reagan made her arrival back in 2008, Riley wanted to go everywhere with me. Then all of the sudden she decided she would rather stay home. I got use to it and lately since she has wanted to come over here with me or want me to come over, has been something to adjust to. I mean , don't get me wrong, I love my nieces more than myself but its still something to get use to. So, out of pure love for the girls and my sister, I offered to come get them both and bring them to my house and play. This way my sister can get some needed rest since she is under the weather, and I get quality time with the princesses! I know that in just a few months, less than four actually, I will be having my own little princess here and it may be a little harder to find time or energy to do these kind of things with the girls! Riley will be 5 years old this July and it seems like only yesterday that I was standing the hospital room watching her come into this world!! Now this fall she will be starting school! Makes me cry every time I think about it! And Miss Reagan will be turning 2 in just a couple of days! That little miracle baby almost didn't happen and I thank God everyday for her and the fact that my sister is still here and able to watch her first niece get ready to enter the world! I don't know what I would have done if I had lost either one of them! Well, enough on that. I am usually not a mushy person but I guess the trials of pregnancy are starting to take their sweet toll on me now! ha ha. Its amazing what life throws your way and the people God puts in or takes out of your life also. Will I hope you enjoyed my blog today even tho it wasn't too eventful. Just wait, I have those days coming and I will share them with y'all!! Hope you all have a great day and I will TTYL!!
