I think I'm ready or perhaps as ready as I'll ever get to prepare for my life to change, yet again! Baby #3 is due today and although I'm sure today will pass with no birth, he will be here soon! I'm a mix of emotions, mostly excited.
Its just when its been a few years since you've had a baby, you begin questioning all sorts of things. Gosh, can I take the pain during labor? I smile because even though during the moment that the baby is being born is the most intense pain I've ever felt, it was quickly faded with the biggest joy and reward I've ever felt. So, I know I can!
More importantly, I wonder what is the recipe for success with my other two children? Mothering instinct is there and this baby will fall into some type of routine eventually or not. I think I've prepared myself, well, as much as I can, that this baby will be the crabbing one and will cry a lot. I was lucky with both Tyler and Cassie being good babies, its time that I get a crabby one. God will only give me what I can handle and I just need to embrace that.
Of course, the tossing and turning at nights the last month or so, have been praying that my lil' porkchop baby is healthy! I know he is thriving, estimated weight over 10 pounds, but I think its not until they come out and you can count 10 fingers, 10 toes and get the reassurance that the baby is healthy, that as a mother you can take a deep breath and relax.
I feel extremely blessed for the miracle inside me and so anxious to meet him. The Jersey kids are excited, too! AND...I know my hubby is excited, but he keeps telling me today isn't a good day to have a baby because of whatever farming he has going on. Soon, Scott will understand all too well, this isn't about us and we aren't in control. :)

Bruiser Boy
I received a phone call around the end of the school day that Tyler was in the school office, could I come and pick him up! I dashed over confused b/c Tyler has never been in trouble or in office before. Well, when I showed up, I broke down in tears. My coordinated son, trip over his own feet playing four-square during afternoon recess and biffed it on the blacktop. He never cried, of course I did! Ice-cream made him feel better and amazingly, in a few days, his battle scars were gone.
Jersey girl graduate
Yes, Miss Cassie Ann graduated from her first year of pre-school and she couldn't of been more excited. Love it. Love her. She is only three, so she will go another year, before heading off to kindergarten. She is so ready to go to the "big kindergarten school."
She is smart, savvy, sophisticated and all drama in a soon-to-be four-year-old body. Although, when it was time to sing and get her pre-K diploma, she was a bit shy, but very proud.
So are we! Graduates Cassie!!! Keep up the hard work.
Swim Girl
The Jersey kids LOVE swimming and have spent a great deal of 2010 in swim lessons. Its definitely paying off, they've improved their strokes! The Jersey girl has definitely improved this last session and thankfully, they both will get to swim a lot this summer.
Chopping Rye
A lil' catch-up since our last post. We've been busy...the days just fold into the next. Makes for tired Jersey kids and a happy Jersey mama! In early May, we chopped rye for our cattle. The kids, both big & small, absolutely live for this time of year. Where the wagons are greased and the chopper doesn't stop.
