I am now at 30 weeks, and 10 weeks sounds like an eternity. I have really done a pretty good job up to now of keeping up with baby books, taking as many pictures of the the third baby as the first, but I am totally unmotivated to do all of that this time. I know I have to make it through and do it, but I haven't even looked at baby memory books, let alone gotten one. I know I will be estatic to see this baby and I will want to enjoy every moment with her, which will give me even less motivation to write everything down, to take pictures all the time, etc. It should be the other way around. I am going to start praying about my attitude, because I really do want it to change, and to be just as excited about every little thing this time around.
Well.....I have been wanting another girl ;) Annette would be happy to have a sister. Wish we lived closer so Annette could play with your girls.

I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
