The boys have been doing this all morning and I just thought it was so cute.  When Daddy came downstairs they just had to show him :)

Today at lunch I gave the boys their bowls and one for me. Brayden pointed to mine and said for Mom.
Me: is this bowl for mom? 
B: no, for baby!
M: for the baby? (Patting my tummy)
B: Yes!!
So cute!! We're all excited to meet the new baby. Hopefully soon!!

And on Sunday Logan was turned around in sacrament meeting trying to talk to his friend a few pews away. I turned him around and he says to me but mom I'm talking to my friend. I'm using Hand English. 
Haha, I had to turn away to hide my smile. I love these kids of mine!!

We had so much fun on Saturday for our date night karaoke that we decided to do it for FHE.  The kids had a BLAST!!

Ryan's FB post
This is the benefit of having many children in our family. This little three year old jewel correctly put all of the clothes in one hamper away and was about to work on the other one without us knowing. He learned that by watching Mommy and Daddy and his three older siblings. I have no doubt he will carry that same attitude of service into adulthood.
He's such a big helper!

Evans not feeling well today and Ryan watched the kids while I went to the OB(39weeks). Came home to this sweetness. Love my boys!!

Logan and Mrs Nance. Love her!! Last day of kindergarten, they sang us some songs. It was adorable!

Those of you who've known Logan for a few years will know what a huge deal this is. 3 kids out of each class had short speaking parts. Logan was chosen. He is so clear! You can understand him perfectly! So proud of my Logan!!

More from their short program. I know I'm probably the only one who'll watch these, but they were so adorable.  Love my kindergartner Logan!

Logan is on the first row in a dark blue shirt with the white circle towards the center, just to the left of the man in the blue's head. Hope that makes sense!

Ryan took Logan and the kids to Grandma D's and he played so hard he needed a nap.  He crashed on the floor in Grandma's room.  Funny boy.

Today is my due date. This is the longest I've ever been pregnant. Here's to hoping Jayden makes his day-beau today or tomorrow!

Em took these while I was waiting for it to be time to go to my 40 week appointment. I was not happy to STILL be pregnant and very nervous for the upcoming delivery.

So my 40 week appointment did NOT go how I'd hoped.  I was sad, mad, depressed, stressed, frustrated, and oh so angry when I came home.  Let me start out by saying I was pregnant, so supper emotional anyway. Well I'm 40 weeks. DUE. So I figured I could talk with the dr. and set a time to be induced, you know becuase I was due! 

Well lets backup a second.  Ryan has been home job searching for the last 6 weeks.  It's been WONDERFUL to have him home, but also super stressful as we try to figure out how to pay for everything. Plus I'm about to have a baby. Plus the stress of job hunting. So we were blessed to have a job offered to Ryan! But he also had a very promising interview the next couple days and the offer was very low.  So we were praying and counseling together and praying some more to find out what was best for our family also, I'm about to have a baby any minute! And our ward (church congregation) got split.  Which meant that we were going to be meeting with new people.  Sunday was our first week in the new ward.  I was glad to be able to go so that the kids could meet their new teachers and kids in their classes BEFORE I had the baby. But really it felt like we moved the week before having a baby.  All new faces again.  So hard. But still it was good.  It's so wonderful the gospel is growing so quickly here and that we are meeting more people.  I love meeting new people. It's just sooo much change all at once. So, YAY we accepted the job offer!  Ryan has a job! Which he starts monday, in downtown Dallas. An hour and twenty minutes away.  And it's my due date today.  I'm 40 weeks and it's the Wednesday before Ryan starts a new job.  So since it's a new job he's not going to be taking time off to stay home with me. Talk about stressful!!  This baby HAS to come this week or Ryan might not be there. So I have all this going on and I go to my 40 week appointment and my doctor informs that she WON'T induce me!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!  But she'll set an appointment for induction Monday morning. Supper helpful. (eye roll) So it's perfectly healthy to go overdue up to two weeks, so there's no rush. Also, it's perfectly healthy, but since your overdue you need to check into the hospital this weekend for a stress test and ultrasound. But its perfectly healthy to go longer, so I wont induce you. But don't forget to set your appointment, it's really importnt. Ugghh, she finally consented to strip my membranes, but left me with the impression that it wouldn't really do anything. And she'd see me sometime next week.  I went home and cried. I was so frustrated and angry!  

I did everything I could think of to get labor started on my own.  Luckily I went into labor the next day.  Oh and I was also not wanting to wait until Friday because it would be Frday the 13th.  Haha, I know it doesn't really matter, but I just wanted to have the baby Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday. I am so glad he came on Thursday and I didn't have to wait longer.  I prayed so hard Wednesday night and just poured my heart out to God. I'm so glad I have a Heavenly Father that understands me and loves me, even if sometimes the answer is no. Happily this time the answer was yes :)
