Thank Heavens For Mothers

Ok, so I'm not exactly the best mom in the world, big surprise right. The girls have been sick lately and I don't appreciate them getting sick during an inconvenient time for me. Don't they know who's running the show? Oh yeah, they are. My mom is the best in the whole world. She has helped me out more than anyone. She slept on my couch for a week after the girls were born so I could get some sleep. We each took a baby and she was awesome at letting me have Alyssa who slept longer and was not so needy. Abigail was so tiny and was up so much more during the night than Alyssa. It took it's toll on both of us, but she made sure I got a nap during the day. The help hasn't stopped once. She offered to watch the girls so Nate and I could go to the temple once a month, watch them on our date nights when we go to BYU-Idaho events, and watches them when they are sick. She will take them in the afternoon after work, so I can go back to work and try to get some sanity. She is such an awesome example to me. She is so laid back that when I hit my "moments" she is the one who says who cares let the girls destroy my antiques they are not hurting anyone. When the girls bang everything on her nice hardwood floors and I fret about them dinging them, she says the dog has nails and that doesn't bother me, who cares let them play. She is always encouraging me. I love her to death.

Baby #3 due July 19, 2008

We went for our ultrasound and found out that there is only 1 baby and we are due July19th. I explained to the doctor that I know what to do with 2 babies I'm not sure what to do with 1 though. He looked a bit puzzled, but most people who only have twins may know how I'm feeling. I've gotten pretty good at juggling the girls, but am a little weary some days about this new addition. I have been extremely grateful I am not always in the bathroom sick like I was with the girls (although that was a good diet plan). I am nauseous all day every day. I sure hope it stops soon. I have had some weird cravings. Since I am eating all the time (I feel like) I've decided that if I have a craving for 1 week and still want it then I can have it. Unfortunately those items tend to do the most damage on my system. I'm sure Nate is getting back to the hormonal slides that come with me being pregnant. I think I know what I should have learned with the girls, patience. It seem when I'm pregnant I have none! My poor girls, maybe this time I"ll learn.
