Easter Blessings!

Luckily I was prepared in advance for Easter so when our sweet little boy arrived a couple days before all the fun, it wasn't too overwhelming.
My parents came down for the long weekend and we enjoyed our time together. Painting eggs, filling easter baskets, enjoying the beautiful spring weather and most of all giving thanks for our Savior. For his love, the giving of his life, and the gift of the atonement and resurrection. I do not think it a coincidence that we celebrate Easter during the season of --SPRING-- where new life is restored to all things waking from winter slumber.
i am so grateful for the new life I can have as I rely on my Savior Jesus Christ. Each day can be new because of the gift of the atonement.
So I give thanks for Easter Blessings. . . .and for the new life that has joined our family, our sweet Seth David Boehme and the new adventures of every day with Will, Maddison, Ethan and Emma!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
