I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

UGG!!

So I know I haven't posted in awhile. I have been feeling soooo crappy. I don't know what it is with this pregnancy but it sucks! I'm ALWAYS tired, and I am always nauseous. Poor Anthony, I'm sure he feels like a single parent. He has done so much to help me in the last month. I KNOW he's getting sick of it. If I had a picture for this post it would be of a throw up bucket. The girls have been too cute. They keep kissing my belly and telling the baby "I love you baby."
Ashlynn just knows it's a boy and I think that Hailey thinks she's the one having a baby. She keeps pointing and saying, "There's a b-b in me be-ley." If we can all just get through these next few weeks it'll be smooth sailing! (Hopefully, the way I feel shouldn't last my whole pregnancy. Right?... Right??)

I love the birthday count down ticker! Now I won't have to ask you how many day left, or how far along you are! I'm sorry you've been sick. In a book that I'm reading right now, it would tell you to enjoy that you're sick. That just means that you're pregnant. Make the sickness your friend, acknowledge that it's there, and get on with being your true happy self. I know that sounds really stupid as you're throwing up in the toilet, but think about it. Can you change being sick? Probably not. But you can choose not to take it personal. (I know, I sound like a Psychoanalyst...or may just psychotic! hahahaha)
