Off to Nana's House!

We are ready to go!

Our bags are packed for Nana's house!

The kids were so excited to go to Nana's today! They will be going to Sam's birthday to celebrate! They looked so cute as they were ready to go at 7:00 this morning. Matt met mom at the meeting spot this morning. Aidan took his Buzz and Woody that his buddy Caleb bought him and Lily Claire had her purse and decided to sport a new headband today!

Oh and Lily Claire went pee pee on the potty 3 times yesterday! I think it would help her so much if she could get potty trained! Way to go Tinker!

A bit behind in posting!

With everything that has been going on I haven't had a chance to post some pics of the kids before the whole bed rest thing. on 2.20 we went to see Buzz Lightyear and Mickey Mouse! The kids loved it! Lily sat the whole time and kept telling me that "Minnie Mouse is her friend." Aidan loved seeing Buzz and Woody. He asked, "Are Buzz and Woody real?" We had a great time. The next day it was warmer outside and the snow was barely on the ground. Aidan and Lily were determined to play in it. I got some buckets and shovels and they were off. They have started playing so well together!

Aidan and Lily play in what was left of the snow last weekend.

Lok at my big snowball mommy!

I got a snowball too!

Aidan jumping around to the music at the show.

Lily CLaire is having fun too!

Lily was a little unsure at first...but then warmed up very quickly to all the Disney character

Daddy and the kids wait for the show to start!

Cute sayings with Aidan!

Well the kids are doing their best and trying to adapt to me being on bed rest. Yesterday was the first day that I really noticed how well they are playing together. They decided to play house. Aidan was the "daddy" and Lily was the "baby". Aidan would tell Lily what to say. Then Aidan would push Lily around in her doll stroller. It was sooo cute!

Aidan decided to lay with me on the couch and I had my shirt pulled up because Anabelle was moving all around.
Me: Aidan do you want to talk to Anabelle?
Aidan: Whoa mommy...your belly is big! I think you might have a belly ache.
Me: Well, that is why mommy has to lay on the couch because I have a little bit of a belly ache.
Aidan: Actually Mommy, I think you just have a really big poo poo in their? Do you need to go poo poo?
Me: (Dying of laughter...I'll be okay buddy, thanks for checking.)

Aidan: Anabelle...what are you doing in there...
Anabelle: Kick...kick
Aidan just talked to her and talked to her and she would kick every time. He probably felt her kick 15 times.
Aidan: Why is she kicking me mommy?
Me: Because she loves you so much already!
Aidan: Yep...she loves me so much....that's why she is kickin and when she comes out I will hold her.

It was the sweetest conversation.
Then...here comes the Tink.
Tinker: I wanna feel baby mama? (Slams her head down on my belly and just laughs....)
Me: You feel her Tinker?
Tinker: (kisses my belly) There mama...there....

Oh...do we have the sweetest kids are what????????????
This is how I know that we needed another sister or brother. Yes, there are crazy days but there is nothing like these moments.....they are the greatest. Oh..I love being a mommy!

News on Anabelle!

On Tuesday, I went to doctor and found out that Anabelle is head down/face down and in position. I then went to the appointment with my doctor and he went to listen to the heartbeat and was like, "her heartbeat is low..." After that he checked me and I was dilated. Before I knew it....I was put on bed rest and no longer working. I couldn't get a hold of Matt right away and I was super overwhelmed! It's just when you have kids already you know what to expect and you know how the whole labor and delivery will go. I love Anabelle so much already and to think that she is so little and not ready to come out! It just worries me! Many people are praying for us and Matt has been wonderful. He has been working so much but he has definitely been Mr. Mom. We will get through it. I will do anything I can for Belle right now. Like I said...I love her so much already.

Aidan's Buzz Birthday Party!

Make a wish buddy!

We are singing Happy Birthday to Aidan!

Eating cake at my new Buzz table that Nana and Pa Pa bought me!

Ella and Sam got Aidan a Woody to go with his Buzz

Opening his table from Nana and Pa Pa!

Aidan loved his puzzles and cash register from Jay, Jamie, and Tristen.

A new game to play! Yeah!

Me: Aidan what was your favorite part of your birthday?

Aidan: My cake...My Buzz Lightyear Cake mom...

Aidan celebrated his birthday party this weekend. It was so cute. He loved his cake. I searched all over for someone who would make a Buzz Lightyear cake and finally found a bakery on Olive. It was a pretty awesome cake...It made his day! It is so funny to see how much Aidan loves Buzz. He was really into the Wiggles but that hardly compares to his love of Buss Lightyear! It is so cute. He didn't even want to mail out his thank you notes because they were Buzz and he wanted to keep them. He had a great day. We kept the bash to basically just family since I had been having contractions. I was on the couch most of the time but he had a blast running around with his cousins. It is days like this that I realize how fast time passes. I can't believe I have a four year old....2 year old..and a baby on the way. Mr. Mr. had a great day and no matter what he will always be my Mr. Mr.

Valentine's Day!

Tinker llikes to turn her nightlight on and off...on and off....

Aidan adds one more item to his Buzz Lightyear collection.

Aidan and Lily woke up this morning and we gave them tehir V-Day presents. Boy...were they excited! Aidan got a Buzz Lightyear Nightlight and Lily got a Princess Nightlight. They loved them! We all exchanged lots of kisses. It is the little things in life that make it so wonderful!

Anabelle-29 weeks

I thought I would take a minute to post since I am here at home today. Anabelle has been busy in my belly. I have been contracting and off work for a few days. Apparently though, this is normal since it is my 3rd baby! I just want her to be healthy! I have had a sense of "nesting" I guess. I feel like I need to get everything done. All I could think about when I was contracting was...
"OMG...I don't have her baby book yet..."
"The room isn't ready..."
"What am I going to bring her home in?"
"Please let her be okay..."

Doctor said that I will need to just adjust my schedule a bit at work so I can take frequent breaks and lay down when I contract. She said it is bound to happen so I just need to be prepared. She said I might need to adjust my hours when I am 32 or 34 weeks....we will see. I am hoping that Anabelle hangs in there and if I just take it a bit easier at work...all will be well. We did get to see Anabelle this weekend when we were at the hospital. It is so amazing that our little girl is in my belly just kicking and growing every day. It really is a miracle and I feel so blessed.

Fun at the Science Center!

We met Kelly, Mark, and caleb for some family fun at the Science Center. We went to the Omnimax. We saw, "Under the Sea". Aidan did ok....he jumped a few times when a shark or sea snake would attack another animal. Tinker didn't like it so much....it was a little too real for her. She kept saying, "I wanna go home." But I gave her some fruit snacks and she made it through okay. After that we went to the Discovery Room to play. The kids had so much fun! Aidan. Lily, and Caleb just ran around and played...sometimes all together and sometimes each one would be off by themselves....we always have so much fun with the Millers. We headed to a really cool pizza place. I absolutely love going to new places and I loved this pizza place. Caleb gave Aidan a birthday present...it was a miniture Buzz and Woody with a rocket! Aidan loved it and has been sleeping with it!

AIDAN IS 4!!!!!!!!!!!

My big 4 year old in his new Buzz outfit on his birthday!

SOoooooexcited to open his presents!

A fun game we can all play together!

Aidan had wanted a "DS" for a long time!

2.2.10

Aidan woke up today and I heard the pitter patter of his feet. I jumped out of bed so I could meet him in the hall and started singing, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". He immediately told me that he could feel it....his legs were bigger and he was bigger. He told me that now he could run fast like Ella! I told him to go look on the foot of my bed. Then he saw it....HIS NEW BUZZ LIGHTYEAR OUTFIT! He was thrilled. He took orange Buzz Lightyear cupcakes to school. When I picke him up we headed to Denny's. Matt met us up there. We decied to give Aidan his presents since his party was not for another week and a half. When he opened his present he was ecstatic. He had finally gotten his DS (Leapster 2). It is such a great feeling to see your children so excited and happy. It was a great day! I can't believe we have a 4 year old!
