Going, Going..... GONE!

Freedom is gone for good.... well.... not forever, but for a LONG, LONG TIME!

Date night/day went awesome!  I didn't take any pictures, because I didn't even think of it.  We had the best time eating and talking and just being lazy together!

We ate at REAL restaurants and ate slowly!  We watched a movie called Duplicity, which was good and interesting and worth $1.07 from our favorite RedBox.  We got to stroll around in Fresh Market without a care in the world- looking and smelling and pointing out yummy and gross things!  We did absolutely NO CHORES!  No dishes!  No picking up!  No nothing!  There was nothing to do!  We had gotten the house cleaned and laundry done on Friday.  Bubbie cleaned his playroom before going to Nana and Pops' house, so we literally didn't have anything to do if we wanted to do anything!  It was fabulous!  We did run an errand or two.  My sewing machine is giving me such horrible trouble, so we went to Joanns and took a gander at the machines.  We returned some stuff to Target and took a quick trip into Wal-Mart and Academy Sports.  We realized today that while eating at a yummy breakfast place that we hadn't been there in almost 2 years.  When Peanut was almost due, Nana and Pops took Bubbie for a night or two so that we could be alone "one last time" and we went to that breakfast place.  It brought back memories....  I am praying that we aren't back in that restaurant in ANOTHER two years preparing for ANOTHER baby!

Being alone with Hubbie made the thoughts of "what is to come" or "what is next" a little closer to home.  It really is NOT that much longer and the thoughts of how little time I have with only two little boys is starting to make me a bit antsy.  I really haven't worried too much about another c-section or the recovery, but the closer it gets here, the more I dread the whole process.  I hate the pain.  I hate the recovery period.  I hate feeling blah! and then on top of the pain or soreness, you have this newborn baby to feed and care for.  I am praying for peace.  I am also praying for health for the people that will be caring for our boys and also for our family.  It is "cold and flu" season- ALL READY- and the idea of not having my husband during this whole process is freaking me out!

So, we are ready- if he comes- we have everything we need.  God has blessed us with amazing friends and family.  We have received almost everything on our gift registry and its been amazing to feel the love and support and friendship from so many people.  I don't know what we'd do without so many wonderful friends offering to bring us meals and take the boys and help with chores.  Its just been fantastic how God has brought so many marvelous people into our lives!

I can't wait to meet our newest baby and to watch him grow up in this loud house of almost all boys!
