We are hilarious!

So at 1:30am I woke up this morning I was facing Matt, my back to the bathroom. I had to use the restroom but really didn't want to get up so I rolled over and closed my eyes for a minute then I decided my pregnant bladder couldn't take it anymore so I sat up. I saw a man standing in front of me in white I screamed like there was no tomorrow. Then I heard Matt yell "Holy Shelby, its just me Steph, its OK its just Matt." At this point I was covering my face in fear.

Matt says I threw my hands out at him and the I covered my face and he thought I was coming after him. I think I swung my arms out to stop someone from killing me and then covered my face while I screamed. Then I asked, "Who is Shelby?"

We are soooooo funny. I love my husband so much. I felt bad for almost giving him a heart attack. I guess in the time I had been thinking could my bladder hold out until the morning he had woke up and needed to use the restroom and then I sat up just in time to see him walking by. It is really funny this morning.

Things I am Thankful for

I am grateful for an amazing husband who loves me unconditionally and always makes me smile.

I am grateful to be a mom.

I am grateful to be pregnant with a sweet little healthy boy.

I am grateful for my parents and my in-laws and how much they love me.

I am grateful that we were able to work it out so that Rodney could go to preschool, it is helping him so much.

I am grateful for an amazing sister who has truly become one of my best friends!

I am grateful for cold chocolate and how I miss it!

I am grateful for a warm home.

I am grateful for a brother who probably has no idea how much I love him but every time he calls me it warms my heart so much.

I am grateful for another brother who makes me so proud and is serving our country in overseas.

I am grateful for a husband who works really hard so I can have my dream of being a stay-at-home mom.

I am so grateful for my daughter Karlee and her soft heart, she is such a mamas girl and I love how if I cry she cries because she loves me so much she can't take it if I'm sad.

I am so grateful for Rodney and how much he loves to snuggle. He is only 4 but he will get the door for me and carry the milk for me. He is a true gentleman.

I am grateful for my LuLu (Emily). We have been having a ton of fun together on M,W, and F mornings. She is such a sweet little monkey. I love that when I got the kids ready for church and then felt too sick to go she cried and said "but I look so pretty!" She has such a fun personality.

I am excited to have Thanksgiving at my sisters house this year. We usually go to Logan but this year my parents and brother are going to all be at my sisters and I cant even remember the last time we had Thanksgiving together. It will be really fun to have us all there. I wish my baby brother, Joel, was going to be here with us. The cousins are going to love all being together!

I can do anything for 37 more days

I hope I never sound like I am complaining. I am so grateful that I am blessed to be a mother and that I get to have another son. This pregnancy however has been really hard for me. With thinking that I lost him twice, throwing up the first whole trimester, my placenta ripping and being on bed rest, contractions and then needing to have surgery on thur due to a blood clot issue.

I am soooooo ready to have this little dude in my arms. He doesn't move very much so I asked my father in law to give me a blessing. I had been having a lot of anxiety about him not making it. I feel like for everything I have been through with this little guy if anything happened to him I would be shattered. You would be no matter what but this is just my journal of how I have been feeling.

I'm scheduled to have another ultrasound on Dec 7th and they are going to see how big he is. Right now he is scheduled to come out Dec 27th. However I am hoping that they take him Dec 20. That way I would be home before Christmas. When I went to the Dr my blood sugar and blood pressure where not so good which is another reason they may take him out early. I love him! I cant wait to meet him. I cant wait to kiss his little toes, fingers, and his whole face. I can't wait to see if he looks like Rodney or the girls.

I pray that he knows I love him so much and that even though this pregnancy has been sooooo hard on my body and emotionally I feel like he is worth it. I love love love my Mason! I cant wait to see you in 37 days I hope its sooner but more importantly I pray you are healthy and know how loved you are!

Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween this year. I told Matt that I think Emily is Allergic to Halloween because last year she was so sick she had to stay home and couldn't go trick or treating and this year she had a small fever and a really runny nose.

Halloween seemed to last a week. Don't get me wrong it was fun but there were a ton of activities. So we kept busy. I took the kids to the pumpkin patch twice. The second time they all got a baby pumpkin that they loved. The second one was with Rodneys preschool and it was really fun to get to go on a field trip with him. They had donuts and Pirate Jack told them a witch story.

Then they all dressed up in there costumes for dance. Matt had his annual trick or treating at his work, we got so much candy we didn't even need to go trick or treating. Then at our church they had a carnival for the kids they got to eat donuts off of a sting, make crafts and do lots of games. After that we had trunk or treating where they served chili, cinnomin rolls, hot chocolate and soft serve ice cream.

Oh I forgot to mention that at Karlees school they had a parade in there costumes. But I forgot my camera. Then On Saturday, Grandma and Papa Broschinsky came up and took us out to dinner. It rained the whole time we were eating. The girls were in there costumes and they were all bummed it was raining and cold. When we were done it had stopped and we told them we would go to 10 houses and we were done. We went to 10 and watched E.T. It was really fun minus Karlee cryiing forever after the movie was over. I guess it was just to sad for her :(

I love this picture of her. She is so pretty!

My cute little baby!

I'm not sure why this is so small? But I love my kids!
