Maybe It's the Stairs

A couple nights ago this is how we found Kolter after thinking he had been asleep in his bed. First Karsten and now Kolter? I guess maybe our stairs are just really comfortable.

Our Sweet Kenzlie

She's Here!

A quick post because I know you're wondering. More of the details to come...

Special Moments

It's hard for me to believe that this pregnancy is coming to an end. It's kinda bitter sweet, really. My emotions are overflowing, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Happy to have a new baby almost here, or sad to have my pregnancy over. I guess I should just be grateful that I've been able to experience this special experience one more time. Pregnancy though tough, is also so sacred and spiritual. It's a miracle, no less. You love that which you sacrifice for, and perhaps that is why a mother's love is so great for her child even before she first lays eyes on her. I feel so blessed to be able to be here, 38 weeks pregnant, and expecting a baby girl any day. I'm excited, I really am.

My Baby...For Just a Bit Longer

I don't know how Karsten is going to handle not being the baby. He's growing up so much lately and I know as soon as the baby comes he will be forced to grow up even more. I love this little guy so much. He's so demanding, persuasive and persistent. I can just see him asking me for a "cookie" 50 times when I'm sitting down nursing the baby...he won't give up until you do. Maybe I'll have to keep a stash of them by the rocking chair, so I can give him one the first time he asks. ;)

A Good Day

Last Wednesday was a good day for me. First of all, I finished reading the Book of Mormon for our 60 day challenge and yes, I did it in 60 days! That was a big accomplishment for me. I am so glad that I did it. Next, the doctor told me I was dilated to a 3. Yipee! And last, I took Kambrie to Young Women's with me and the artist Julie Rogers (she's painting the mural at Santa Clara City Hall) was giving an art class there, and she sketched a profile of Kambrie as a demonstration, and then when it was over she asked if she could use Kamz as a model for one of her paintings. I was so happy, because I absolutely LOVE her art, and it would be a complete dream come true to have her paint Kambrie. Hmmm, not that I could afford to buy the painting, but hey, at least I could go look at it in her art gallery. lol

So anyway, all of these wonderful things happening to me in one day gave me the motivation to start the blanket for my baby girl that I have been wanting to sew since the first of the year. So the next day I started and finished it, and to make it even better, I totally love it! I'm not usually all that happy with my sewing projects when I finish them, but this one is an exception. I can't wait for baby K to get to use it.
