Our growing family

Well, it's starting to seem more and more real each day.  In a matter of days we will be a family of 4!!!  I'm excited and nervous.  How will I handle two boys?  I know some days will be stressful, loud, obnoxious, and I will be wondering how on earth I will survive until thier daddy gets home.  But I know it will all be worth it.  I wouldn't trade it for anything being able to be here with my kids each day!  It's a sacrifce for us, but it's something I felt like I was born to do...be a mama, wife, housekeeper, cook, but most importanly watch my boys grow each day :)  These past two years with Charlie have been amazing.  He is the light of my life and alot of time I feel like a failure, but it only inspires me to be better.  Try harder...pray for more patience!!  I have a growing respect for my parents each day...raising 4 girls couldn't have been easy. To be perfectly honest I think 2 boys will be the max for this little green family!  I know it couldn't have been easy, but they did a great job!!  I hope to follow in thier footsteps and raise boys that turn out half a good, caring, kind, genrous and me & Chess and our siblings!  I feel like we are a pretty good crew of kids...we can't take the credit tho...it was the ones who raised us :)  so I wanna give a big shout out to our wonderful parents! We couldn't be the family we are with the families we came from!

On that note...see the post below for the most beautiful song I'm stealing from Amanda's post!  It explains it all...what life is all about!

So...today was a special day for Charlie and I.  The last full day of just the two of us.  We will have visitor and daddy for the weekend and then Monday he will have a baby brother to share me with!  So...for a special treat we made a huge mess!!  We pulled out the finger paints (washable of course) and I laid on teh bedroom floor and let him paint my baby bump!!

I must say...the biggest mess was the tub after we both bathed off!!!  Well, the next post will have Aiden pics...so stay tuned!
