This is what I am. Allen and I are doing a marriage class every Friday night for eight weeks and we have yet to finish a lesson before thursday night. Well, our evenings have been crazy this week and it is Friday afternoon and we are still not done. I don't want you to think I am not taking this class seriously because it has been great but it is very hard to do all the book work when that is not what you are used to. Anyway, it's not nap time yet so I can't even attempt reading when they are awake. That just frustrates everyone which is not what you want to be when doing homework on trying to improve your marriage. lol!
I procrastinate on so much more but it will just be depressing if I go through and name them all so let's just say it is something I need to work on. lol!
Speaking of that I should probably get up and clean the kitchen from lunch. Have a great afternoon!

It's a BOY!
We found out this last Friday the our third child will be a boy! He was not shy and wanted everyone to know that he was a boy. lol!
I thought he was going to be a boy but still had it in my head that it will probably be another girl so it was exciting. He was moving like crazy and is already 14 oz. which is pretty big for a 20 weeker so he may be a big boy. I bought a newborn sleeper for him yesterday so I hope he will at least fit into that for a couple weeks. He have no idea on a name yet but haven't really tried. We are taking a trip in March to Missouri and will have tons of time in the car so we will try and figure it out then. Until then any name suggestions will be taken and considered because we have nothing. I better head to bed so I will update soon.

I'm glad you can't see me right now
So I have had a cold the last three days and it has been really hard to get some sleep because of the cough and stuffy nose. Since I am pregnant my choices in medication are pretty nonexistent so I have to improvise. I was not real tired anyway because of the excitement of our ultrasound tomorrow so I thought I would stay up and google ways to stop my cough and stuffy nose from natural things we have around the house. here is what I came up with.
cough: I only tried one thing since I didn't have a lot of the other stuff. I made hot tea and put lemon and honey in it. This doesn't seem to weird except I hate flavorings in my tea so to me this is gross but since my nose it stuffy I can't taste anything anyway so I went for it. Although this just started it does seem to be helping but that might just be because I am sitting up. When I was laying in bed it was really bad. Time will tell.
stuffy nose: My first try was acupressure. While pressure points have never seemed to work before but I was really desperate. So the verdict is that is does NOT work and just wastes time. Moving on to the next thing that told me to stick my head in a freezer for 5 minutes and only breathing through my nose. I would have tried this but there was no way I could breath through my nose at all. Then at the bottom it said that you could just put an ice cube on your nose. That is were I am now and I CAN BREATH! Granted it is just one nostril that is clear but I will take it. I will have to let you all know soon if it actually lasts after the ice is taken off but I consider it a success! (ps. My nose got clear so I started tasting my tea which was not a good thing. lol!)
Wow, this has been a really pointless post but you might find it helpful one of these nights.
Iwill let you know tomorrow how the doctors appt. goes. night!

Happy Valentines Day!
Today was a great Valentines Day! After realizing only yesterday that V-Day was Saturday I sorta panicked since it was my year to plan and I had nothing. After realizing the crowds would be bad around dinner time if we went out I decided to just cook a full meal at home and hang out for dinner. We got ready slowly this morning and played around until lunch time and then we went to a pizza place in town for lunch that was awesome. I had ordered reular crust and they brought me thin crust so they let me keep the thin crust and brought me a regular crust also. It was great! Allen of course had to comment how bad it looked that I had two pizzas in front of me plus the girls pizza that I was cutting up for them. It did look pretty bad I guess.lol! Don't worry because when we left I had a pizza and a half to bring home with us so we get leftovers tomorrow! We came home and Allen and the girls took a nap and I went to the store to get some thing for dinner. After dinner Allen entertained the kids while I cleaned up and gave them a bath which is so nice of him. It was a great day but I am worn out. Hopefully I can get a lot of sleep tonight. I will leave you with some cute pictures from our Valentines Day. I hope you all had great day also!

At least I tried...
So Isabel hair has been coming in so slowly but it is getting a lot longer so today I thought I would try and see if it could stay in a pony tail. The pony tail was on top of her head of course and hardly visible since her hair is so short but I got it to stay in! I took a picture but you do have to strain to see it. I will try and get a better one after her nap. I was just excited that I can finally put bows in her hair!! lol!
She was not real happy during the picture.
Devin wanted her picture taken also so here she is!

A productive weekend
Allen had a long weekend this week so that was a lot of fun. He made some shelves to put around the house so that was really exciting so we can organize movies and some things in the girls room. I didn't even know how cluttered our house was until we went through the stuff to put on the shelves. I was also able to clean almost the entire house with Allen helping to play with the girls and he shampooed our rug. It really needed that! Other then that we just hung out as a family which doesn't seem to happen often enough. Here are a couple pictures of us hanging out.
Devin and Isabel getting ready for a game of candyland. Isabel just holds the cards but Devin is doing really well at it.
This is all girls hanging out after dinner. I made pudding and the girls LOVED it!
