36 weeks 2 days

Can you believe it? I certainly can't! In just 4 weeks my world will be turned upside down with the arrival of baby #3. Gender is still a surprise and the name is unknown to even Paul and I. I have a name in mind... just have to convince Paul. I really can't believe its already March... spring is coming. Lily asks me just about every morning if its spring yet. I keep wanting to say yes, but then we get more snow. Ugh. The snow has all melted here but its still really cold, windy and rainy most days. You can tell that spring is coming though.

I bought Lily and Julia their Easter dresses this week, they match of course. Just have to pick up matching sweaters and their outfits will be complete. My parents are coming to visit Easter weekend so I know the girls will have a wonderful time. Our Church is having an Easter Egg hunt for the children after Easter Service, so I know the girls will just love that!!!

Paul and I are planning on getting the girls and Baby baptized on Mother's Day this year. I am really excited about it. Not so excited about hosting such a large party afterwards... but I know it will be a special day for our family. I'm hoping some of our out of town family is able to make it. We asked our good friends Jeff and Jenn to be the Godparents for all three of our children, and they happily accepted. Jeff and Paul are childhood friends (Paul stood up in his wedding last July, as did Lily as the flower girl). I'm looking forward to sharing our children's lives with them. Hopefully our children don't scare them out of having children themselves, haha!! Paul always says a night with our kids serves as birth control for most.

Paul is doing really well at work. The schedule changes have been hard for the girls to get used to, but we are managing the best we can. I'll be so happy when he's done field training and can start picking up more overtime. We've added the expense of a carpayment this month. There was no way I was going to be able to fit three car seats into the Honda or the Jetta, so we traded in my beloved Civic for a Nissan Quest Minivan... thats right folks... I'm officially a soccer mom. It was sad to say goodbye to the Civic... thats been my car since 2002, and has seen me through lots of wild college memories. But the time had definitely come to buy a more family friendly car. So now I'm driving my mini van, and loving it. Thats right, I love it. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone. I'll never admit to it again.
