We now have a family of 6 and things are filling up quick (rooms, minivan, dressers and of course garbage). We are so happy to have Sadie with us and although she has had a few sleepless nights she does spend 98% of the time sleeping. It is pretty sad when we have to strip her down naked to get her to wake up. You would think that after the 4th child we would be acustom to late nights and no sleep but the two nights that she has been up have been brutal (FOR CASSIE). Ben sleeps as though nothing is going on.

We have a NAME...

So we can now finally call our baby that will be here in about six weeks something. I am the type that likes to call it by name and talk to her. Her name is going to be Sadie Jewelz Sandberg. I really had my heart stuck on a few names at first there was paisley, presley, addison and of course sadie. Well the only one we could both agree on and love is Sadie and so for the middle name we like to do family names. Carter is John from Ben and lucky enough my dads name is john, Hallie is Marie from me, Ellie is Lyn from my mom and also bens family has Lyn and now Sadie you might be wondering why Jewelz? Well Bens mom is Julie Alaine and so I told ben he could decide I thought he would do alaine or laine but he came up with Jewelz which is different and fun at the same time and I also have a sister named julie so there we go again. I am so excited to meet our little one. I am at little sad because I know that when she comes our little man will start first grade and be gone all day and Hal will start preschool and be gone 2 days a week for a few hours and I am no ready to let go. But I guess ready or not here it comes. I love my little family and feel so blessed.

So we got a new camera and I havent been able to blog because I cant figure things out on it so I need Ben to help me. I am huge right now feeling like I am going to pop. This pregnancy has been a hard one for me but I am so thankful for it and so excited to see our little one. Hopefully soon I will up date and show pictures of my cute kids and my handesome husband that might I add while I am getting insanely huge has gone from 211 to 173. He looks amazing but then again I always think that he does. I am the luckiest girl ever he takes such great care of me and our kids I couldnt wish for more. Sorry about all my babbiling but I am on one!

kids say the funniest things

So the other day I am getting ready and Carter comes over to me and says mom your belly is really big is that baby ready to come out yet? I said Oh I hope not, Carter Mommy still has a very long time left until the baby will be healthy and strong. Carter then says you mean it is going to get even bigger than that! Not so much the wording but his facial expressions were killing me. I love my kids even when there honesty makes you feel like a huge COW!

Getting Bigger

Last night watching tv, me and Ben were talking and I coul feel the baby moving like crazy so I put my hand on my stomach and felt it. I turned to Ben and said do you want to see if you can feel the baby so he put his hand on my stomach and totally felt it. We were so excited. I am only 20 weeks I will be 21 on wednesday so we didnt think we would feel it so soon so it was very exciting. We only know about 80% that it is a girl. Every time I go in she is very modest my other kids were like here I am so hopefully next time we will know for sure.

We are having a ........

Little Girl! We are so excited and we finally have an official due date August 28th.
We are very excited and especially glad that the baby is doing good. It was pretty scary there for a while but today to see the heart beat and know that our little woman is growing and developing right on schedule it brings a lot of comfort. Thank you to my wonderful sisters and all there love and support during the past 16 weeks. I couldnt have made it without you. I hope and pray that from here on out no more scares. Especially no more kidney stones good love like pregnacy sickness isnt mean enough throw that in there. No really I am grateful people have it a lot worse so I am thankful I can actually handle all that I just struggle with the problems with the baby more than anything. But for this week and hopefully the rest to come we are good. Thank you for all your love and support and prayers it really helped our family out alot.

Baby #4 here we come!

Yes it is true we are blessed to be having another little one in our home. It was a surprise and we couldnt be happier. We are still not 100% on the due date it is either august the 24th or september 1st. It has been a rough one but well worth it and we cant wait to find out what we are having. All the kids would love a little brother. Carter actually said Mom if it is a girl can we send it back and get a brother? I laughed so hard. He also said mom there are too many girls in this house I need a boy to play star wars and superheros with. I love my kids and no matter what we have we will be excited. We find out hopefully if the baby works with us on March 10th I will be 16 weeks that is when we found out what our kids were. So we will keep you updated!

random thoughts

I am having one of those days of feeling like you dont give enough thanks for the things that you have. In a moment things can be perfect and in a instant it can all be taken away. I am so grateful for my life, I have it better than I could ever imagined. I have an amazing husband and three beautiful, happy, healthy children. I am so grateful to be me and thank you to everyone that has been a part of my life even if it was as simple as a smile. I held my baby girl today in my arms and squeezed her so tight and told her how much I loved her and I didnt want to put her down and the best part is she held me close and gave me hugs and kisses and told me she loved me. What more could a mom want than a moment like that. It is great to be me! As the top of our blog states dont blink, truley in an instant the are all grown and life is passing you by. I dont want it to pass me by I want to be in it and live in the now and not worry about tommorow I want to see and be apart of every little thing. Sorry about the random thoughts it was just one of those days.
