Really? That long???

I can't even believe I've waited so long to post. I have had a million things to post but as many confess, the whole 1-2 sentence demand of Facebook has put a damper on my blog life. This will not be long even though I owe you a long post. But wanted to update you (don't you love how I assume there are still devoted readers here???) on a few items:

1) Tomorrow marks 6 weeks till Spicegirl is due to arrive via c-section. I would not be surprised if she arrives early, however it makes no difference to me if she waits till Dec 27. It's a little scary to say 6 weeks. That means, SOON. The bedroom is completely undone. No furniture, paint or bedding. Yep, you read right. That will all change in the next 7 days or so, so I'm not the least bit concerned.

2) Heartburn and sleep continue to be difficult but nothing too terrible. Brian was gone in Australia and New Zealand for 8 days and since he's been back I feel more energetic and like my normal self. Thank you, Lord! He will not be traveling for a looooong time, so we are looking forward to lots of good family time through the holidays.

3) No name for baby girl yet. Your prayers are appreciated! :)

4) My friend Cindy and Beth threw me an adorable, perfect, incredible shower and my mom was able to be here for it. I was completely overwhelmed by the love and support that surrounds me and how much this sweet girl is already loved. The boys have been so excited about all the gifts their sister is getting. Wesley especially likes to look at them over and over again. :) So precious. I'll be anxious to get everything hung up once the room is more complete.

5) Fall weather has finally descended on Bloomington, I think. God has blessed us with amazing warm weather for so long and the next week or so it is supposed to be highs in the 50's, lows in the 30's. I'm afraid there is no turning back now. But it's been a pretty fall and I'm actually starting to get very excited for all the holiday festivities. This will be our first Thanksgiving EVER without relatives/family. It will be a sweet time with just the 4 of us.....and the last time.

6) Noah and Wesley are doing awesome. They love school and Wesley especially has really grown up these last few months. His language and attitude seem so mature BUT he definitely knows a baby is coming because he in no way is relinquishing his baby title. The words, "Wesley! STOP talking like a baby!!" can be heard from the mouth of me, Brian or Noah several times a day. :) He chooses his timing well, but it's going to be a struggle. Their relationship as brothers brings a smile to my face everyday. While there is the typical sibling rivalry, they love eachother so much and adore playing all day long.
7) Heartburn---gonna have to cut this short. Tears are coming to my eyes at the moment because my throat and chest are BURNING. Must go take some beloved (not) Mylanta. To be continued!!!
