A shower in the summer to bless my little Paige as the Sixth chapter in this family. I, even before getting to the day, feel oh so blessed because the honor of having the new person coming into the world is who is mine and Kevin's and I get to enjoy it with all of you.
I have been asked to blog a list of things we "need" and Denise and I chatted on the phone to sort of figure it out because the list of things I don't need seems to be higher than the list of things I do need. But, I am going to create a list because it was fun to see Peanut's list before we knew he was Warren ;) What a cute kid he is eh?

Masks
Is the smile upon my face a mere mask
or is the smile upon my face my true self
Would I be the same person if I didn't paste it on?
The masks I wear are sometimes contractual
based on my beleif structures as a woman of God
a spouse a mother a friend.
I would be untrue to myself if I didn't make the effort
I am who I am and I work things out the way that I do
tears and laughter, singing and praying, waiting and more waiting...
It makes it me who I am to paste this on
and me who I am to make it stick
"Suck it up Buttercup you are a Princess" I hear the Holy Spirit telling me
and that makes me
smile.

More Pregnancy Woe BUT!
Last week was weird, as in, I don't think I enjoyed it, but it went fast and I did things with the kids so I feel good that it's over and on with the next. Saturday I enjoyed my visit with Tanya and MiniDark (that's what we call him on Star Pirates) and then we had dinner with Kevin's leader group from Cubs. What a very interesting bunch of people I am a part of in all areas of my life. The dinner was awesome, I am guessing because someone else cooked, but also because the hostess is just such an amazing cook!
Sunday we got to church again! I am so happy we are a part of that community again and to make it more fun, two babies were born into our congregation last week and they are from 'kids' to whom I taught Sunday School. They are adults now but I do have to remind myself of that sometimes. I got to see Cam and Tyra's baby and she is soooooooooo cute!
Monday was so productive! I got so much cleaned by the end of it but BOY did I pay for it today... I think my energy level can be made into an equation that looks something like: 77 days left to my due date, add 10 for an overdue (AS IF) date to make it 91. Let's just say that I have 100 percent of energy for the next 91 days. Yesterday I used 2 days worth of energy and as pay back I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow today... like soooooooooooooooooooooo slow, so I did very little well, not true because somehow I still managed to vacuum, hand wash the floor, shower, make lunch and dinner, take the 3 little kids on an outting, then take Hope to youth... I dunno, it feels like a blur and almost like what I remember having the twins was like. I really don't want to miss any of this right?! So, that's the reason for blahging today.
The other reason I have to blog is this: big HUGE sigh okay? I didn't want to have a baby in September because Kev said he'd rather that she come in October. Upon mentioning this to Andre and Tanya Andre said that he could share the 11th and I was happy to aim for the 12th. I also after processing decided that the twins really should have their month all to themselves. BUT this is what the Lord is telling me..........babies come as alll things do, in HIS timing........ so what that tells me in my heart is that I will probably not make it to October with Paige, and well, I am just fine with that.... as long as I don't make myself think that now because I think that I will be all ticked when October rolls around and I am still pregnant...... heh heh heh, isn't that always the way it happens.
So in one week prepare for me to panic about something logistic, I can remember doing nothing less than worrying that nothing is done HOWEVER, I do only have 11 weeks left and there is still a lot for me to do, but somehow, it's all getting done..... the next list I make will be the frozen meal list... so sorry this was blah and not very well written, I am not even re reading it to edit it, so I love you allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll good bye :)
