I am definitely feeling the last trimester ups and downs! For the most part I feel pretty good and have enough energy. However, I am not sleeping well, I feel the need to get a whole list of things accomplished “like yesterday”, and there are just not enough hours in the day. I know I supposedly have until December 23rd, but I think because it is so close to Christmas I am worried about not getting everything done in time. I sure don’t want to disappoint these cute faces!

Andrew took this photo the other night at dinner. It was truly a rare and precious moment! David is aware that soon there will be another baby in the house, and he has already been exhibiting signs of jealousy in various ways. Hopefully we can work through those feelings and he will get it out of his system. Emma of course has no clue really, and I’m afraid her green eyed monster will come to head once Samuel becomes visible. I could use some serious prayer in dealing with all these wild emotions around here! 🙂 In an effort to help David feel important and included, I painted and updated his room this week. I wanted to do this before we moved in to this house and it didn’t happen, so now seemed like a good time. Hobby Lobby had a lot of dinosaur decor on sale that David and I picked out, and he said he wanted to paint his wall blue. I think it turned out pretty cute! 🙂

In my last blog I showed a picture of Emma’s room, and that we converted her crib to a toddler bed. She LOVED her room, and went straight to the bed and started saying, “Emma’s bed”. She was so cute! 🙂 She has been doing well sleeping in her bed too.

Here are some cute picture moments from the week. We went to the park and David was having fun going down the slide in any position other than on his bottom. 🙂 I took the picture of Emma reading the book because I love the giant hair bow. 🙂 Today we went to visit daddy in his office, and Andrew let Emma have his “Methodist” bear. 🙂 She was so proud of that bear!

Time is going by too fast! My babies are growing too quickly! Emma will be 2 on Monday, and before we know it Samuel will be here too! I’m reminding myself to enjoy all the moments because they are precious!

Love,
