Preggo update

Lucky ones

We miss being close to all of our family in Idaho but I sure and thankful to be close to my parents here in the good old state of Wa well at least 4 hrs from them.  Since my mother has been on a school break Hunter has had the chance to go stay with my parents 3 times this summer now and he has loved it.  We miss him here at home but since I am pregnant this has been a huge help and I am so thankful for the love that they show to our family.   It really makes me so sad to think of all the people my parents have helped over the span of a lifetime and yet they have been given so much headache and challenges from those same individuals.  The good thing is I know how lucky I am so I guess me and my family will be the spoiled ones and everyone else that does not appreciate them can just miss out :)

You are missed

1 Year ago today the world lost this amazing lady!  Rhonda you will be forever missed and it is still so unreal to think we will not see you again in this life.  I pray every day your children are safe and protected with you as their guardian angel.  Thank you so much for loving us and loving our son.  You will be missed until we see you again!!!!!

Hunter is 5

 Hunter had one amazing 5th birthday party.  Not only were his grandparents here from seattle but he had 16 friends and 11 adults here to share his special day with him.  Hunter was super excited when I told him about our special police officer that was on his way to visit.  Not only did this party go well and kids had fun but Hunter also got totally spoiled with presents.  I was thankful we do not do a party like this every year because as a mother I was feeling so guilty about all the gifts that he had received.  This little man was so good though and with each present he made sure to take a moment and enjoy that gift and then tell that person thank you.  He is such a wonderful little boy and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for sending such a sweetheart into our lives.  Happy Birthday Hunter or should I say Officer Hunter (LOL)

            

Laundry moment

I was so tired this am I laid on the couch and fell asleep. 1 HR later I woke up to my sweet boy kissing me and telling me, "mom I folded all the laundry for you!" I about cried :) cuz I had wanted to do something productive today so I asked Ryan to set 1 basket of laundry on the couch so I could sit and fold it. Of course I still have to fold it but I was pretty proud of his effort :)

Randomness :)

I know i have been behind on my blogging and the funny thing is I have NO excuse at all.  About 2 weeks ago I was put on Bed Rest and I have been board out of my mind.  I have had time to do a ton of thinking and one of the things I have thought about the most was when I was pregnant with hunter and put on Bed Rest for 6.5 months.  How on earth did I make it through that time without going crazy?  I feel so blessed so don't get me wrong I am not complaining I am just saying I am amazed at how Heavenly Father works because my guess is he waited till the end of this pregnancy to give me the chance to go on Bed Rest knowing that I would think this.  I feel so blessed to be 32 weeks pregnant and just now having to sit around all day long doing nothing but putting my feet up.  We are so blessed in life, we have wonderful friends that stepped up and helped out a ton.  Mary has by far been an angel sent straight from Heaven as she has had my child almost every day for the past 2 weeks.  We have had an occasional meal delivered and we have had tons of prayers said our direction.

Dr. Says baby looks as though he wants to come any day and I am so hoping to get a few more weeks in so that our little man has the best chances possible for transition into this world.  I can't tell you how excited I am to meet this little one but oh man do I want him to have a few more weeks of cooking if that is Heavenly Fathers plan for our family.  Sitting around all day long is a small price to pay for such a wonderful gift.  

I am excited to have my parents here this week to help out and play with Hunter a ton.  They are such wonderful grandparents and I feel blessed to have so much support.  Hunter feels loved every day and I  know he does.  Can't believe my little Hunter will be 5 on Wednesday!!!!!  


Well that is about all I have to say in my random brain for today :)  Thinking of going and sitting on the other couch now LOL
