New LO & Thank You's

My first thank you is to Shabby Princess for posting another montly desktop.  Without her, I don't think that I would be doing any scrappin'.  Of course, I am not so sure that my kiddos are going to appreciate LO's with dates to remember and a monthly calendar.  LOL.  Anyway, it is keeping me interested in the scrappin thing so that is a HUGE accomplishment - baby steps.  So, without further ado, here is my October desktop.  The pics are from our trip to Crane's Orchard and one of the frequent wagon rides around the back yard. 

My second thank you goes out my my big sis, Shawny (aka Auntie Pea).  She's got a new blog design/location so check it out by clicking on the above link.  I just saw it today so I hope that she doesn't mind me giving the link to it.  Back to my thank you.  I've been meaning to say thanks for a couple weeks now since she gave me this awesome gift.  To most people it might not be a big deal, but to me it is huge.  I've been meaning to get the Casting Crowns album since before it came out.  I am just a procrastinator on things that I don't consider "necessary" or things that cost money.  Well, she got the album for me and I absolutely LOVE it.  If you haven't heard of them, check out their website.  They are probably my ALL TIME FAVORITE Christian band.  I just love that their music is so genuine and honest.  I think that all of their songs remind me that God loves me for who I am and that there is absolutely nothing that can change it.  Anywho, I just want to give Shawn a big public thanks for giving me something that just lifts me up. 

I haven't posted in a while so I suppose I should give a little update on how things are going in our household.  Not a whole lot has changed - pretty much the same routine.  On Monday we go to have the ultrasound and hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl.  I'm really excited just to find out.  We are taking Kylie with us because I think that she will find it to be really cool - she'll be fun to watch.  On Tuesday, Dan and I will be married for 8 years.  WOW - the time has flown by and so much has changed in our life since that day.  We have had our ups and downs as all couples do, but overall I am really glad to have him as my husband and best friend for life.  The funny thing about our anniversary is that Dan will be watching the girls while I go to get a pedicure with my friend April.  We will probably celebrate next weekend, but for sure when we go to Jamaica to watch our friends get married.  The next couple weeks are going to be really crazy with doctor appointments and getting things ready for our vacation.  I'm starting to stress a little bit about everything.  And I am hoping that is the reason I am having headaches and really bad back pain.  I feel like I am a becoming a regular pill popper lately.  This pregnancy has got me taking more prescription meds than I have taken my entire life.  I suppose I could give another thank you to my boss for offering such great health insurance. 

Well, I think that pretty much covers the haps for now.  I'm sure that I will be back on Monday afternoon to post about the ultrasound.  I'm horrible at keeping secrets - which is why I never try to keep the sex of our baby a secret.  So, I hope you all have a great weekend and we'll see you on the flipside.

First - LOVE Casting Crowns. Totally have the whole CD memorized aleady. Shocking that we as sisters would love the same group!!!

Second - yeah for ultrasound - can't wait to hear! I am still pulling for boy even though I will be jealous!

Third - third pregnancy is just HARD - and yours is even tougher b/c of the extra appointments and ammnios. Ugh - I totally feel for you.

Have a good weekend.
