Waiting...

Yippeeeeeeee.....................my mom made it safely to Jordan and all is well. It has been so good to have her here, and although I am ready to have this baby, it has been good to be able to go here and there and show her around first. So, even though we are waiting around for Crane #3 to make his appearance, I am kind of hoping that he will wait until after Thanksgiving. We have people to see and places to go, so it would just throw a kink in the plans, ya know? Although, of course we will be delighted whenever he does make his appearance.
So, we have been introducing my mom to all that life entails around here. School, friends, good restaurants, Safeway (not like she needed to know what one of those was like), life with two little boys at home, and everything in between. Tonight when putting Caleb to bed, he cried for a good 30 minutes for one reason or another, so she got to see the strong willed boy in person. Seriously, I have never met a child more persistent and strong-willed then he is. Oh my goodness.....God give me patience. Other then that, life is going on as normal, until little Mason makes his appearance. I will try and get some pics posted soon.

Time Flies.....

Wow, time just flies by and before you know it a week has gone by in what seems like a flash. I also feel like I have hit a slump in my blogging these days. I guess not a whole lot exciting is going on these days. Just trying to get this language down, waiting on a baby, and the same ol' same ol'. I do have a funny story of something that happened just this past Friday. I went to the mall with another mom from school and we took our kids to a place there called, "Jungle Bungle".....it is one of those places where there are all kinds of things for the kids to climb on and slides and stuff. Well, they were loving it and there was this one really long slide, like the ones that you see at the fair at home that you sit in the sack to go down on. you know the ones that have little bumps as you go down them. Well, we decided to take the kids to this slide and try it out. So, in order to get to the slide you have to crawl up this narrow set of platforms. So, here I am, 8 1/2 months pregnant with Caleb and Judah and another mom and her two kids crawling up into the this little crawl space to get up this huge slide that I probably have no business going on. But we did it! First I went down with just Judah and it wasnt so bad, so I gave my friend the ok and she went down. Then when we get back to the top, Caleb didnt want to go alone, but Judah was gung ho to go again, but it was too big for him to go it alone, so all three of us decided to go. I don't know if it was that we had more weight and went faster this time, or what, but we went a bit too fast and picked up some air on the way down. Yikes! Suprisingly though I didnt send myself into labor, although I was a bit nervous until I felt the baby start moving again. Yikes! I sure wish I would have brought the camera to at least have a photo of the slide. Oh, the funny things we do.

The Countdown.....

Well, my official due date is November 25th, so there are around 22 more days left until we get to meet this little one wiggling around in my belly. Oh my goodness! I cannot believe I am going to be a mother of 3. Yikes! And the way things have been going around our house lately, it is going to be total chaos! I was two days early with Caleb, and maybe about a week late with Judah, so there is no telling when this baby is going to arrive. I just hope he doesn't come before my mom comes on the 23rd.
I just thought I would post a few recent pics for all to see. We will keep you updated. Oh, and wish me luck, I have another test in Arabic tomorrow. Yuck! Mike has taken it already and seems to think I will ace it, but I am not as confident as before.....hmmm....maybe it is because I am on the computer right now and not studying like I should be. Ok, gotta go and get those last verbs crammed in.
