Well we are staying busy around here.  I have been preparing for this new little one and probably driving everyone a little nuts.  Packing suitcases has been the biggest challenge as we don't keep enough clothes to be able to pack some away for a month or longer lol.  It makes laundry easier, but is a pain.  I have also washed and put the crib set in the crib.  We have done the Blue Jean Teddy theme with this one.  Got a great deal on ebay on it.  I have also bought me some night gowns.  They had them on sale at Kmart a few weeks ago for $10 each and were exactly what I was looking for.  I am washing the stroller and infant seat covers today.  They were clean when I put them away more than a year ago, but just like to make sure they are clean for the new little one and not dusty.  My cousin's girlfriend gave me a bassinet, although we will use it in the livingroom I will use the bassinet that was dh's and all of my previous childrens in my room.  I just love having it.  His mom got it from co-workers when she was expecting him. 

My sweet sisters-in-law are giving us a baby shower this weekend and I cannot wait.  I love all of those sweet little baby things.  I look forward to this little one arriving...I don't look forward to the labor, but it is all worth it.  I am continuing to pray for a vbac, but want God to have his will in it all.  I guess we are considered totally looney now as there has not been the so many comments as the previous five.  Every time we go somewhere or the subject of children is broached the Duggars are always mentioned to us.  I have heard that they are expecting again...yes their 17th.  The Lord has truly blessed them abundantly.  It is just awesome not so much that they have that many children as that they are raising them to know and love the Lord. 

School has been going pretty good.  I am already thinking about next year as our conference is coming up at the end of May.  I pretty much like the way this year has gone so will probably stick to the same things. 

It seems that spring is just around the corner and the pollen count is going up and so are my allergies.  I would like to see one good snow before spring comes.  I love the white stuff.  Oh not so much the playing in it as watching the children enjoy it, reading the day away, hot chocolate, warm fires ahhhh such peace....not.  You know what a house full of kids who are hyped up about snow are like????  Peace is not a word to describe them lol.  Anyway,  I pray that you all are enjoying your days and that the day of sickness as I am sure we have all experienced are going away.  Thank you all for checking in on me and how we are doing.  Have a blessed week!  Until we meet again....

In Christ,
