Great day

I've been awake for only about 20 minutes, but I know its already going to be a great day :) My sweet Samy is home from work, I slept in a little- but not too late, actually slept well last night, and Andi stayed over so I wasn't home alone. (I haven't been wanting to stay alone the last couple of nights in case I go into labor.) Anyway, my tummy is grumbling so in a little bit, I think I'm going to make some biscuits and eggs :) Yum!
After breakfast we're going to go walking in this beautiful weather. Maybe I'll have more contractions. I always get contractions when I go walking, but then they stop as soon as I stop. I had quite a few last night but they too didn't last long. I thought I was going to go into labor- they kept waking me up! So we're on God's time with Ella. I was due yesterday but I guess she had other plans. Its sweet... my mom says she's taking her time because the angels are putting last minute touches on her like giving her little curls :) I like that. I'm sure she'll come out with head full of hair and long fingernails! I'm so excited!!
I'm hungry.
Oh, random, I know- but our grass is getting green! I love spring time, all the trees are so pretty and I like the green-ness of newly budding plants. Several weeks ago Bianca and I planted like 80 pretty flowers in what's supposed to be my flower garden. I'm not sure how long it takes bulbs to sprout, but I guess they're on their own time too. Sheesh, I'm so impatient! I just want Ella to be here and pretty flowers... is that too much to ask? :sigh:
Ok, time to go make breakfast. I'm ready to go outside. Its so nice.

Pregnancy pics :)

As promised, here are a few of my fav prenancy pics. Taken by my dad :)

Sometimes

You just have to realize the important things in life.

When?

I've been waiting, waiting for her to come. She wants to get here when she gets here I suppose. I have another dr.s appointment today. I think we're supposed to discuss the plan if she doesn't appear when she's supposed to. I really don't want to be induced if at all possible, but if this little girl is as stubborn as I can be sometimes... Well we'll just have to see.
We finally took some pregnancy pics. I'll post a few of my favs :) Thanks Dad, for taking them for us. He's so great.
I'm excited. Maybe when the weekend comes, she'll be here. I kept dreaming last night that I was having contractions. I think I was, but it was really confusing because I'd wake up and feel fine and other times my tummy was all tight. That makes for an interesting way to wake up.
To do today:
1) Pay the water bill
2) Watch the last episode of Lost Season 5
3) Go to Target
4) Finish thank you cards for baby shower gifts (there's at least another 50 to write!)

For you, Honey

I miss this place.

I like

long drives with my husband where we just talk and never put the radio on.
feeling my baby move inside my tummy.
the smell of rain.
leaving my house early when I have to be somewhere.
Saturday mornings at my parents' house- there's always music on and the smell of good food.
hard working people.
baseball caps :)
the sound of my grandpa's laugh.
listening to Samy breathe while he's sleeping.
driving with a newly cleaned windshield.
being married <3
camping.
having such a large extended family.
that my sisters and I are so close in age.
waking up in the morning and just knowing it'll be a good day.
the sound of rain on our tin roof.
that our yard is huge.
my husband works hard in our business to build our future so that some day we won't have to work.
knowing that he needs me. Just like I need him.
going to Bahama Bucks to get a wedding cake with extra cream snow cone.
that God gives us different seasons.
green grass and big pretty trees.
pretty much decor that has birds on it.
our wedding more than any other wedding I've ever been to.
reading motivating books.
that I can trust what God has promised.
people who have morals, even with the small things. Especially with the small things.
feeling productive.
Texas.
that I can talk to my husband about anything and everything. You really are my best friend Samy.
being alive.

Rainy days

It's been nice lately. I woke up yesterday early morning to the sound of rain on our tin roof. It started raining that night and rained all day until this morning. Still its drizzling and the humidity is "150%" according to my husband :)
Right now my sweet love is sleeping at home. I've been busy this morning. Already did the laundry, threw the trash, did the dishes, got our clothes ready for our meeting tonight, and took the car to get serviced. Goodness!
Now I'm at my parents house, listening to some great music and my dad cutting tile. They're tiling the living room and he wants to finish up by Sunday for the game. All there's left to do is grout. I'm glad- he's been working so hard on it lately. Sam came over after work this morning and helped him lay the last of the tile. Soon, it'll be all finished and look so nice :)
I think its about time to eat lunch.
Goodbye for now.
