here we are.

saw baby girl again today. she's definitely still a she. [not that i was doubting.] and slowly but surely, i am bursting at the seams excited for another little girl. i can already picture my family in a year or so. and it's such a beautiful thing. God is so kind to us. i keep saying it, but it's true.

a&e's last day of preschool is tomorrow. tomorrow! so, come saturday, i will officially have 2 kindergartners! blows me away. i remember rocking them in the middle of the night, dreaming of our lives together. dreaming of the day i'd take them to kindergarten. what they'd look like. what their voice would sound like. if we'd ever make it past the twin newborn haze.

and here we are!
it goes so fast. it's true.


had my very first "real" doctor's appointment today. ultrasound. pap (yuck). and then i had to go give blood. such a long day. and i'm tired. but i loved my new doctor. she's sarcastic like me & i think we'll get along jussst fine. i feel like such a newby at all of this again. asking so many questions. i feel like i don't remember a thing! like i don't know what the heck i'm doing. they say it'll come to me, but i dunno guys.

after tomorrow, tim has 3 more weeks in the academy! ONLY THREE MORE WEEKS!!! i didn't know how i'd get through this time. how we'd get through this time. and here we are. with 3 more weeks to go until graduation! tim has worked so hard. life is crazy. good. hard. but by the grace of God, here we are.

today, my house is a mess. a&e haven't bathed since yesterday's swim lesson. i'm missing my husband. it's 6:30 and i have no idea what i'll make for dinner. i have to catch up on some work, but have no motivation to do so. a&e are in time out because they won't. stop. bickering.

but my life is full.
and my heart is glad in this chaotic season.
and i can do all things, all things, with His strength.
and with tim gone, i usually wake up to a baby or two in my bed. bet you can't guess who's who. ;)
and i am thankful.
so very thankful.

here we are. right where God wants us. and it's a darn good place to be.

oh molly, life is so crazy,busy good for you right now!!! wow, look at everything you have gone through and accomplished so far - rockin roll sista :)

i can't remember if i wrote about my "issue" with finding out we were having a boy, but regardless, it was SO SO SO hard for me to accept i wasn't going to be raising a itsy bitsy girly girl, but rather a boy who cant wear cute accessories and skirts and makeup and proms, yikes!
however, as you already know, as soon as that child grows and grows in you - you begin to fall in love with HER!!!! and i know you are realizing more and more each day how PERFECT she is for your cute little fam :)
i am SO happy for you molly!!!!!!
even though i haven't been the best commenter on your beautiful blog lately, i have intended to write to you :)
