Routine

I love routines, and I can't seem to get myself into one.  I tried this morning, and I think I really like it.  In the past, I have been reading the Bible right before bed, but lately I just crash into bed and fall asleep immediately.  So this morning I got up, brushed my teeth, made the bed and read the Bible and just spent some time with the Lord.   It was so refreshing and I have already noticed that my day is going a little bit better than normal!!!
It seems like my days "feel" better when I am able to get up before Olivia does and just get myself ready for the day. I don't know how that's going to work once little Jeremiah gets here, but until then, I will try!

Speaking of Jeremiah...I am so ready for him to be here!! I think.  :)
Thanks to Andy and Corin, the crib is up. I ordered little monkey decals for the wall, his clothes are organized, toys ready, diapers ready.  
I have four more weeks to go...but I'm hoping he will come early! Maybe a Thanksgiving baby??!? If he does come early it will probably make the last few weeks of the semester hard, but it will be so worth it. My back especially thinks so. 

 Olivia talks to Jeremiah pretty much everyday. It so cute. She tells him all the things she is going to teach him and how she is going to cuddle him.

love

Olivia is the most amazing little girl ever.  I don't know what I would do without her.  Everyday she amazes me.  Everyday I love her more and more and more. 
When Joel does something for her, she will say, "Thanks dad, your an awesome man." 

My body is so sore. I am huge...only getting bigger.  I love, love, love feeling this little boy move.  We are setting up his new crib this Friday!

I need to find actual substanance  to put on this thing...or else I'm just going to have lots and lots of posts about how wonderful Olivia, Joel, and baby boy are.  :)

Realization

I quit my job.  I worked for three weeks and finally figured out that I really can't work 2 overnight shifts in a row and then expect to transistion nicely into the week.  I cried every weekend....about practically nothing. I was just so tired all the time.  So Joel and I are just waiting to see how God is going to provide while he is in school.  Maybe I can find a weekend barista job or something...or another baby to watch at home. 
I just really hate not being home with my baby girl. 

Olivia loves Cinderella. She will sit and watch the entire thing without moving. 

Joel starts school tomorrow. I'm praying he can finish quickly...I'm sure he is too.

Starting

I don't know where to start, but I don't want to keep not writing stuff down because I don't know where to start. 
So many things happen with Olivia everyday and I don't want for forget stuff. 
Like when she poops...first she prays, "Jesus, please help me poop."  Then when she is done she thanks Jesus for helping her poop. 

"I'm getting married!!"
She wears these shoes pretty much everyday whenever we are at home
Well...I'm 26 weeks, and watching Blake (5 months) makes me more and more excited and nervous. Baby shower is Oct 9.  Can't wait to paint his room (hopefully).
