Little House Full of Blessings

Once a Month Blogging

LoL.  That is what I call what I do.  I really love to read others blogs and get frustrated that they don't update more lol.  Oh well.

Things have been going pretty well.  The baby is fine and we still have a ways to go.  I am somewhat sleep deprived these days between dd#4 and baby moving to keep me awake.  If one is not squirming the other is.  The Lord has truely blessed us.  Ds#1 will be 16 this year so it has been many, many years since we had a little boy in the house.  I have some of ds's  outfits that were special, but most we passed on to others.  Well my cousin blessed me with some of her sons clothes so I now need very little for this little one.  Preparations have already begun for his arrival.  I am cleaning like a mad woman many days and then am tired others so then have to do catch up.  I have already washed the boys clothes that I have and have started to pack a hospital bag.  This time I think I will go ahead and pack a bag for the kids as I had not done that the last time and was running around like a mad woman.  Okay so it was 1 am and my water had broken and usually when that happens we have a very small amount of time before baby is here(baby was so nice to turn breech and be delivered via emergency c-section at 6 am;-).  So I am making baby steps day by day.  I am hoping to have someone make a crocheted afghan for him as all of my others have one too.  My grandmother always makes each great-grandchild a homemade quilt.

My sweet sisters-in-law are givng me a baby shower on the 10th of March.  You would think that after five previous little ones we would have everything, but alas things do wear out and are given away when there are five year stretches between them.  Oh well we have been so blessed by others that very little is needed.  The only big things is another toddler carseat and an umbrella stroller(one that reclines).   We have a regular stroller that has a infant seat that can go in it, but I have a toddler who will need one too and sometimes goes to sleep in it so I think the reclining one will do and not take up too much room in the suburban.  When this little one gets here the suburban will be full.  It seats eight.  Wow when we first got it we had four children and when picking the oldest two up from school(the used to attend private school) one of the teachers remarked that we needed to fill it up....well.....hehehe.  Before this we had a Chevrolet Cavalier so we were very tight and if dad was going with us we had to drive two vehicles.  I laugh because should the Lord bless us again, we will have a huge vehicle and still have to two lol. 

Well other than that it has been pretty calm around here, nothing much to blog about.  Okay I am off to do some catching up.  It has been so pretty out the past two days, Carolina blue skies and nice mild temps. 

Blessings,

Holly
