42. Now I love to work out, especially running. I never thought I'd say that.

43. I can't wait for Abby to get old enough for me to ask her if she thinks what I'm wearing looks stupid. I'm always questioning that. It will be nice to have a woman's

55. I may or may not share that cake.

56. I'm a terrible speller.

62. I still laugh at Seame Street. Abby loves that show and we laugh at it together.

75. I was in the marching band in High School. We were #1 in our district.

76. At our school it was really cool to be in the band.

78. I was also in the school play and was equally terrible.

80. I love to decorate my house. Most of the furniture in our house I've either made or redone.

81. I can't wait to move so I can start over.

82. Maybe that's why I want more kids. So I can decorate another room.

83. I think I ate fries at lunch and at dinner. Man, that can't be good.

85. I hate to clean!

86. I don't clean my house as often as I should.

87. Abby likes to take wipes and wipe down the furniture. Even a 20 month knows that if she doesn't do it, it may not get done.

88. I can't believe my little sister, Cayce, is going to be a mom. She's going to be great at it. She's has way more patience than I do and I admire her for that.

89. I can't believe that I turned 28 this month. Not that I think that's very old I just never really could see myself older past 21.

90. I'm not a all up to date on music. I never what band, song or artist is singing.

91. I would be the worst contestant ever on that show The Singing Bee.

92. Chaz would be great! He knows so much useless information. He's also be great at any trivia game. I hate playing with him.

93. I think I've eaten some kind of desert everyday for the last month, sometimes a couple of times a day. Man, I've got to get better at saying no.

94. That reminds me, my cake is done.

95. My toe nails are always painted. They may not look that great but they always have some color on them.

96. I hate going to the dentist. I haven't been in years.

97. I had a lot of work done on my teeth as a kid and that's probably I don't go now.

98. I got my first car when I was 15 and got my first ticket the day before my 16th birthday.

99. My car door fell off and I had to drive while holding it so I wouldn't be late to basketball practice.

100. Another car I had, the whole engine fell out while I was driving. It's amazing I lived through high school.

So that's it. It was easier than I thought. OK now I'm going to try not to go eat that cake. Just say no!!

36 weeks pregnant and little Charlie's room is finally finished!

Well I finally finished Charlie's room today with lots of help from little Abby. I think it turned out pretty cute. Just what I pictured. Of course I couldn't of done it without lots of help. It just occurred to me that it's not Abby's nursery anymore. I've been so busy with getting things ready for him that I didn't stop to think about how much work I did to make that room Abby's. I loved it all decorated in pink and green. Now it couldn't be any different. It's amazing that we go through so much trouble and the kids don't even remember what their nursery looked like. I guess it's one to the few times we moms get to pick everything out for them before they start having their own opinions. Well I'm so glad it's done and now I can move on to others things, like cleaning this dirty house. Just 10 days till he's here!! I also included at picture of me at 36 weeks and a picture of Abby playing mommy.

Anniversary and Induction date!

Well it's official I'm being inducted on August 28th. I'm so excited and so ready. I'm also glad that knowing the date allows me to plan better. Chaz's parents are going out of town, more like the country, on the 30th so now they can be here for the birth. I was hoping not to have anything else in August since it's our really busy month but I'm ready to hold this little guy. We also just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. I can't believe we've been together for that long. I really feel that we have such a strong and healthy marriage. I'm so very blessed to have such a wonderful man that comes home to me everyday. Chaz has blessed my life more that I could ever express and has been so patient with me through both pregnancies. I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with so he is my calmness and keeps me from completely losing it sometimes. Over the last 6 years we've had a lot happen and he as been so wonderful through it all. I don't think he knew what he was marrying into but has handled it so well. I hope he knows how wonderful I think he is and how great of a husband, friend, and father that I know he is. Honey, I love you and can't wait to spend another 6 years together. Thank you for blessing my life and for being such a wonderful father to Abby and now to Charlie. Happy Anniversary!

The kids' rooms

Well, Charlie's room is almost done. I still need to get the mattress and the curtain is almost complete. I'm also still looking for western stuff to put on the walls but it's coming along. My mother-in-law did an awesome job on the bedding. I just love it!! Also the bed turned out cute. My mom and I worked so hard to paint it and put it together. It's Chaz's old crib, which makes it 30 years old. I hope it stays together. Abby is now in her big girl room. She's still in her crib but we have the full size bed in there too for her to move to later. I think it turned out super girly, which is what I wanted. Anyway, I'm still feeling pretty good. I go to the doctor next week and we'll know more about what we plan on doing. I don't think Charlie's turned yet, so I'm planning on the doctor still trying to flip him. In the mean while we'll still have to pray that he does flip and stays that way. I'll post more after I go next week.
