Whew!

Wow, it's been over a week since I've been on here. Life has been just a "little" on the crazy side, as of lately. Tim and I have been moving non-stop since Tuesday. We've had to do a lot of trading off, watching Natty, packing, and driving boxes over. It's been quite the crazy process that we are almost done with. We're so thankful Jon was able to help us move ALL the big items Tues. and Wed., and Tim's parents helped a ton Sat. and Sun. We are on the final homestretch.

Not the way I would have ideally wanted to spend Mother's Day, but a letter our Pastor's wife wrote in our bulletin insert really spoke to me. Mother's Day isn't just May 10th, or whatever Sunday if falls on each year. It's Mother's Day everyday, and everyday I am reminded that I have been given the awesome priviledge to be the mother to 2 very special children. I took some time out of our crazy moving schedule on Saturday morning to spend time with Natty at a workshop at church. It was the best 3 hours I got to spend with her. In less than 2 months, Nathan will be here and Natty will have to continue to learn to share all her things, as well as Daddy and Mommy. I held her extra close Saturday. Yesterday she kept running up to giving me hugs on my tummy and legs and I got the slimiest kisses from her - but I loved them all the same.

The most exciting thing about Mother's Day this year is that I can stay I'm a Mommy of two! I'll be considered full term in just 5 short weeks. I got back to the Dr.'s the last week of May, then in 3 weeks, then in 2 weeks, then every week until Nathan comes! I am so excited. Tim and I have started gathering "boy" stuff for Nathan. We choose a couple outfits from Kohl's, bought a carrier off of a friend (and she was so awesome to give us a sleeper and steamer too!), and started going through Natty's old baby clothes (they are SO tiny) to see what generic items we might have. We've also started stocking up on NB diapers. I'm excited for Nathan to be here.

Well, for the most part Tim and I are hanging in there. Poor Tim is bruised up and down his arms and legs. I'm sick with a sore throat from last week that seems to have magnified itself over the weekend. Natty's getting over her stomach virus finally, and is trying to not catch what Mommy has. We've seem to be passing things back and forth the past 2 1/2 weeks. Oh well. :) I hope you guys are off to a great Monday.

No internet at our new place yet, so I'll be out of the loop a little longer. Hope everyone is well. Happy Monday!
