Well, life is back in full swing. Winter break is over... the kids started back up their regimen of dance and piano lessons; I may as well mention the homework every day. So my week is full again of busy-ness!

Mike started back up in school. He is taking his final prerequisite before he can apply to nursing school. We are still unsure of how that is going to turn out, but we both strongly feel it is the right direction and he has the Lord's blessing. We have both been assured that all will be well and it will work out... it is just a little scary not knowing HOW it is going to all work out! There is one thing I know for sure. Heavenly Father wants me to be home with the children and He will open the door for a way for Mike to work and go to nursing school.

I am grateful for a husband who is such a hard worker and takes pride in being able to provide for his family. He has certainly blessed me with the wonderful opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom and take care of all those things on the homefront.

I am now in my 35th week of pregnancy. Just chugging along. I do miss my feet and I do miss being able to tie my shoes without grunting and panting, but I figure this is the last time I ever get to be pregnant, so I will enjoy carrying new life inside my belly. I am relishing in the idea that my body is nurturing and protecting our unborn child. I love feeling the baby move inside me and the bond that I already feel with this little one. It is difficult to describe; but it is there the second I find out there is life inside me.

So, though I am not getting much sleep now, I will enjoy it because it is more than I will be getting in little over a month. It is unreal how quickly this pregnancy has flown by. The kids are all so very excited to welcome a new sibling into our family. As for me, I am excited as ever to see and hold and kiss and love this little one in my arms. I have been wondering what kind of personality this new little person has to offer our family. By the way I am feeling, I truly believe this person is a mellow one. We shall see!
