Valentine's Day morning with their presents!

David has been asking for a clock for a few weeks now. He liked this clock except that it had 3 hands instead of 2. He only wanted 2 hands on it, but he said he still liked it!:)
Valentine's Day was pretty low key and fun this year! We got the kids just a little something. Maggie has been begging for a Max to go with her Ruby for about 3 weeks now and was so excited, when she opened her present and saw her Max in there! David got his clock, even though it had 3 hands instead of 2 hands. For big David, I got him some new sunglasses, which he has needed for the past couple of years! I also got an instructional DVD on how to give massages and then gave him a nice massage. He is always begging me for a massage, but I do not like giving them, so this was a big surprise for him! It even told me how to set up the room to make it more relaxing and everything I needed to know. I was finally able to surprise him, without him figuring it out before hand! David gave me a HUGE bag of candy and he made those little binders for me for the kids art work, which I thought was really sweet and unique! A great present!! Then we just picked up some food from Texas Roadhouse that night and ate in. Very low key, but awesome. We have decided we do not like celebrating out in public for Valentine's day because of how amazingly crazy an busy it is everywhere. It makes it not as enjoyable, when there is a 2 hour wait for any restaurant and then it is too crowded and loud. Picking food up and eating it at home is a much better solution!
In other news, Maggie ran into the table in the downstairs living room and got her first black eye. It was awful looking. David has strep throat and Maggie wishes she was sick and insists on going to the doctor to be checked. We took her yesterday and she is just fine. It does amaze me how my poor sick little David behaves better than perfectly healthy Maggie. She is one emotional and high maintenance little girl. I do have some sympathy for her because I have not been able to do much with her and we don't get out because of my semi-bed rest. I think she is going a little crazy being stuck here at home and I think she is realizing that we will have a new little addition in the next few weeks and she won't be the baby anymore. I try to have sympathy for the child, but it can be very hard, when she throws a fit at the drop of a pen. Just 5 more weeks until I can actually do stuff. Yes I will have a newborn, but at least I'll be able to clean or go up the stairs without getting out of breath and having contractions! Let the countdown begin!!

My Big Belly, Shelves, Dolls, and More!!

Well here is a picture of me at 29 weeks! Maybe there are twins in there!;)

David added some much needed shelves to the kids playroom closet! It is so nice to have them! It's great for all of their books and David and Maggie loved helping Dad with this project!

Just about every morning I wake up to hair being shoved into my face...by little Maggie pushing her dolls into my face to make room for them to sleep RIGHT next to me! I usually sleep right where that white pillow is on the bed. She is such a sweet little Mommy! A couple of nights ago she came down and said she needed the pack and play for her babies. The next morning I went up to her room and saw the pack and play on her bed with every single one of her dolls in it! It was too cute. Maggie usually comes down in the mornings to lay with us around 6:00 a.m. and lays with us and begins asking if she can watch a show. I tell her she has to be quiet if she wants to lay with us and she gets quiet and lays there, usually falling asleep again until around 7:30. She is such a funny little girl and it will be very interesting to she how she does with a real baby in the house in a couple of months! She has already said she will be my big helper and I know that is going to be true. She loves to be the one to do what I ask, especially when I ask someone else to do it.:)
I can't believe how close I am to having another baby in this house. It seems like forever since we have had a little one running around. It will be nice to meet her. She is AMAZINGLY active! I don't think that she ever sleeps. David says that my stomach always looks like a scene from the movie Aliens! I don't remember the other two ever moving this much. I think that it has to do with the progesterone shots that I get. David also always comments, "Are you sure there aren't twins in there?!" He's such a little comedian, huh?! Too bad it doesn't make me laugh...I am measuring 2 weeks further than what I actually am. I can't decide how I feel about that. If I do go full term I am afraid how big Elizabeth will be. David was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 3 weeks early and Maggie was 6 pounds even and 5 weeks early. So I get very worried, when I think about going to my actual due date and how big Elizabeth would be! Only time will tell.
