10 days...

(there are some pictures of avery's party today at the bottom of this post if you can make it through my late night rambling:))


i find myself looking at the ticker at the top of my blog.

it counts how many weeks/days pregnant i am and how many are left to go. as i write this it says "about 10 days to go."

which means tomorrow will be a SINGLE DIGIT NUMBER.

i find that i might want to shed some tears at this juncture. this pregnancy has gone fast (and slow but mostly fast) and i have painted dressers on my back porch...we just had avery's friend party today, the last birthday i am in charge of for a while....

am i ready for this? are you ever ready for this?

i think the answer is no. but we do know more about babies and children than we did when we had ethan...that's for sure. so in some ways i feel prepared, and in other ways, not so much. i think i always feel this way...and then i just read a blog post by a friend that she is having twins. TWINS!!! bless them...and they are boys, how fun, that will boys 3 and 4 for their family with a princess in the mix...

and my ticker is about to click over to "about 9 days to go" (which, as we know doesn't mean anything because no one has told Christian he only has about 9 days left...he'll come whenever he darn well pleases i imagine...)

this is one of those rambling, late at night, crazy-pregnant-lady-cold-feet posts...if you can have cold feet about pushing another human out of your body...

i'm just saying....

avery's party went well...all but two of the 6 little girls invited had names that started with "A" which i find very interesting....

we colored hello kitty pictures, ate pizza and fruit, played pin the bow on hello kitty, made glow in the dark bead bracelets, painted fingernails and opened presents and had cupcakes....and a fine time was had by all! it was fun, it was pink, it is over and i am pooped!

the giggly, silly girls!
pin the bow on hello kitty
the birthday girl...i made the skirt minutes before she arrived back from camping...i might be in love with knit skirts that only take about 10 minutes to sew together! it's a little long but i was guessing and wanted to make it so she could wear it for longer...so i'm glad actually:) the shirt was a present from us for her party today...

the cuppy cakes...who doesn't like cup cakes?

Craziness! It seems like I just had Evyn so how could you possibly so close to having your baby? That means Evyn is almost 5 months old. BLAH! I'm so happy for you Jen! I hope the next 2 weeks pass by super quick! It will now that you have a kindergartner! Love you!
