The kids are all better and have been for a few days now! So far Ryan and I have managed to stay healty. With a virus how long do you have till you know you will not get it from someone?

We had a very fun family day yesterday. We went to Deer Brook to build-a-bear. Faith picked out a very sweet little Lamb for Audrey and had a lot of fun putting her love into it to give to her at the hospital. I think I was more excited about doing it than Faith was. We walked the mall and I found a gown to wear at the hospital, I had been looking at it here in Lufkin, but they haven't had my size. I was happy to find it. We ate at Luby's. YUMMY. Which by the way, at Luby's the lady who stands at the salads made the comment, Wooooh, you have two little ones are are about to have another one. You are going to have your hands full. (My thoughs were, Really?) Then she goes on to say, are you having twins? Me: No I am not. (fake smile) She says, oh, man it looks like you are going to have twins. Me: I am very far along (fake smile, keep walking). Thank you salad scooping lady at Lubys. It was weird to think that will most likley be the last time we go to Houston as a family of 4.

I am 35 weeks today. I had Faith at 36 and Luke at 38. It is getting very very close and very very real! I finished Audreys glider. I painted and recovered it and I LOVE it. I promise I will put pictures on here of her room, but it is almost finished, I am just waiting on the bedding and curtains and then I will post pics.

I cut Luke's hair 2 days ago. He sat perfectly still and let me use the clippers. I cut it pretty short that way I don't have to cut it as frequently. I love his curls, buy Ryan loves it short. However, If one more person says to me, "Awww, you cut of his curls" I will scream. They grow back people! I always tell those people to talk to Ryan because he cant stand his hair being any length at all. This way Ryan gets his way for about a mth and then I will get my way for about 2 mths till I decide to cut it again. See how I compromise (is that how you spell that word)?

We are still working on potty training Faith. We have had a set back though. Ryan put panties on her the other day when we went to Chedders. She started screaming, I have to potty. Ryan swept her away to the bathroom and I noticed she had leaked a bit in her seat. We think from all of that she has been very scared about wearing panties. She throws a fit when we try to put them on her. Well, yesterday we just put her diaper on since we would be in the car a lot. Our first stop in Houston was Hobby Lobby, and she said she needed to go to the bathroom with me. She had a dry diaper at that point. I was impressed. Then she didn't say she needed to go again till we got home much, much later. I felt her diaper when we got home and it felt pretty dry, I didn't look in it though. A few minutes after that she said she needed to potty, so I took her to the bathroom and her diaper was still completly dry! I was VERY impressed! This morning I checked her diaper right when she woke up to see if it needed changing right away, but I could tell it could wait so about 1 1/2 hrs after she woke up she said she needed to potty. When I took her she still had a dry diaper. From overnight. I have been so proud of her!

This is really long, sorry.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

    For one of our kids I put the underwear under the pull up, so that they would feel when they wet themselves, but it would keep from making a mess if we were out and about.

    Potty training- I don't miss it, but I am sure in the next year or so that Thomas will be ready. Can't wait to see the post that little Audrey is here!

    People need to keep their comments on how pregnant women look to themselves! Glad y'all are healthy and hope you stay that way!

    Sounds like potty training is back on track. Good luck!
