It's a ...

Thank you Jesus for this amazing, miracle, healthy. beautiful baby BOY. Technology is incredible. We got to see the baby's face; he has Sean's lips. We saw his little arms moving all over the place. He looked so comfortable and happy in there. Hope he's not too happy come March. I'm ready for him to be outta there. Wow, a boy. Jenna with a boy? What will she do? Be the best mom ever! I am so proud of Sean and Jenna. They will be amazing Godly parents.

One Day!!!

I can't believe tomorrow we will know what this sweet, precious little baby is. I totally have no opinion either way. Oh how I can not wait to hold he/she and snuggle and hear all the little sounds babies make. I have no idea what it is going to feel like to hold my grandchild. I guess the whole mother bear feelings apply to grandchildren also, because I feel ferociously protective of this little one.

Let you know tomorrow!!!

One Week!!!

I know I keep saying that time is flying, but it really is. In one week Sean and Jenna will find out what the baby is. It seems like they just told everyone they were expecting, now they're almost half way. This little baby is sooooo loved already. It seems about all we talk about around here is "the baby". Emma and I saw some of the cutest clothes yesterday, and it's really hard not to buy them. I never knew that little baby boy dress shirts(button up)were made like a onesie so it stays tucked in. It was so tiny and cute. Then there was the pale pink little smocked gown. Oh my I think my bank account is in Trouble!

On another note, I'm totally in to Christmas shopping. There's only one problem, I can not for the life of me remember where I hide stuff. Emma said I don't have to hide stuff, that her and Will won't look-yeah right. I did find a little something for Sean, no not a power tool, in case your reading this. Some people are so hard to buy for(Sean, Jesse)!

I rarely get to drive my own car anymore. I think Will and Emma are secretly competing to see who will get their license first. I did call State Farm this week to see how much it will be to add them on our insurance. I just about passed out! I really had no clue.

Todd and I had dinner with Jesse last Saturday. She made the best pizza ever. It had chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, ricotta cheese and mozarella cheese, I think that was all. It was so good. Then a dessert pizza with Nutella and white chocolate and milk chocolate chips. Back to counting points, if you know what I mean.

2 Weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

In 2 weeks we will know if Little Bear is a boy or a girl!!! I'm so excited about seeing the ultrasound. We pray each night for Jenna and the baby to be healthy.

I am so ready to hold this little baby and rock him or her. Todd asked how much longer last night. How funny! We told him that Jenna is 18 weeks. He said, "what does that mean?" Emma and I both pounced and said she's almost half way! I better step up the diaper buying. I put everything on hold until we know the gender. I don't know why I quit buying diapers, they're not gender specific.

There are three little words that I have grown to hate-CAN I DRIVE. I was just thinking the other day that in a few months I will never have to teach another child to drive. WooHoo!!! My two least favorite things about being a mom are: immunizations(poor sweet little unsuspecting baby) and teaching children to drive. See what you have to look forward to, Jenna.

Where To Start

Jenna's doing great. Little Bear is growing, heartbeat 150. Sean and Jenna got the crib and dresser/changing table bought. I get to go to the ultrasound to determine the s*x of the baby, in three and one half weeks.

I wish I knew how to download pics. Jenna is so pretty pregnant!

Papa made a realy big bookshelf for our bedroom. I started a Nonni shelf. I want to put a rocking chair beside it so I can sit and read to Little Bear. I have been in a cleaning frenzy- closets, cabinets, storage room. I want to be available to Jenna and the baby when the time comes, and I don't want to be thinking of all the things I need to be doing at home. I want them done now. I'm pretty sure I'm driving everyone crazy, because sometimes organization has to get worse before it gets better.

And Jenna has felt the baby move.

Busy weekend

What a weekend! We got to work at our new church building-cleaning the inside and yard work. After working there, we came home and had a big cook out. Sean did a great job with the grilling. We had ribs, chicken, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, bread, and cherry dump cake. Jesse did a great job with the potato salad

Then we got to have our first church service there. The preaching was great, and all of us got to go to church together. I loved it. It's nice to be around so many like minded people. Jenna looked very pretty. Less than six weeks and we can find out what the baby is! I can't wait to be able to buy things for Little Bear, other than diapers.

We had a small bonfire last night and made smores. Uh, someone ate four smores. Not me! I could only handle one. They were really good and it was so fun to sit around a fire with cool air all around. I am sooooo ready for Fall.

Caught Up!

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to get caught back up on housework and life since we got home. Anyway, I'm finally caught up!

Jenna's twelve week appointment went great. Baby's heartbeat was 160. Yesterday Todd asked someone if they wanted to see a picture of our first grandbaby. You should of seen his face when he saw the ultrasound picture, then he said, "I've got six of them." I can only imagine our house in the next several years. I hope it is full of grandchildren. Not all Sean's and Jenna's. Unless they want a house full. They have decided to find out the gender. It didn't matter to me either way, but this will make buying things a lot easier. I go back and forth between thinking Little Bear is boy and then a girl. Healthy is all that matters. No big doctor appointments until the 20th week. I can't wait!

Everybody is back to school. Jesse actually did her reading homework, although it was while she was at work-oh well, it got done. So I'm not complaining. Emma and Will are driving more. I can't imagine what our car insurance bill is going to look like by the end of the year. We may have to take out a loan to pay it! Two teenage drivers!

We are having Mexican for dinner, then watching the Duggars. My favorite family, besides mine!
