SO much going on!

I'm up late tonight because it seems like the only time I have to myself these days.  This entire week I've been on the go and instead of getting to do other things while the girls nap, I find myself laying down with them and accidentally falling asleep too!  It's been nice to get that extra rest in and I keep having to remind myself to take it easy.  Some days I catch myself saying, "I wonder why I feel so tired?"  Well, duh, the reason why is because I am almost 34 weeks pregnant!

Lately I've been finding it harder to get the everyday stuff done and to be honest, that really bothers me.  I want things to be perfect all the time and the reality of that is that life is not perfect.  There will be piled up laundry and dirty dishes, but it's just taking the time to appreciate life and all the little moments.  It won't be long before we get to meet Alivia and life as we know it will be different again.  I'm getting nervous about all the changes but I know the Lord will help me get through it.  Some days I sit and think about how I used to look around when I wasn't pregnant and see a mom with a new baby and wish that was me.  And then in the next moment I realize that IS going to be me!  I get to do this again and it all becomes so real to me at that moment!

Today was big deal around here.  My Audrey turned TWO!  Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures from our day.  For some reason, Audrey was out of sorts for almost the whole day.  She cried a lot and I was telling my Hubby at the end of the day that for some reason, I just haven't been too good at reading her cues lately.  I've been so busy that I think I've been waiting too long to serve the girls their snacks and lunches and it really gets Audrey upset.  Since she's still getting her words, the only thing that works for her right now is to cry to let me know that she's unhappy.  I need to do better at planning my days so that I can get meals prepared in a more timely manner.

I was kind of bummed that we didn't end up having a real celebration for her birthday today, but that's okay because we have a family party planned for her on Saturday.  It's coming down to the last day to get things done and I feel really behind, but I know in the end, things will come together.  We at least had the chance to get out this afternoon to have ice cream with my sister Yvonne and Natalya, which was fun.  Later on, after nap we also made it to our nieces Breanna and Hannah's softball game, which was also really fun.

This week has been an amazing week and I'll have to share more about it later.  I feel so blessed that so many things are falling into place in our life.  There have been so many things that have been heavy on my heart for the last few months and God is just taking them all, one by one, and checking them off the list and showing us that He's got our back.  He is GOOD and I can't help but give him all the glory!
