I remember the wife of Kevin's old college roommate telling me it took her 5 years not to hate this place; 5 years you guys and I thought, "It only took about a year and a half for us to settle in to Tucson". But I think she was right as we approach our two year anniversary of living in TN. I get it now.
The boys are, well, the boys. I get sympathetic looks when people find out we are having another boy; I want to tell them I don't need their sympathy, or want it for that matter. Boys are fun, playful, affectionate, daring, adventurous, thoughtful, and (at least as youngsters), seem to love their mama more than anyone else in the world. It is a blessing to be surrounded by sons, and I bet that moms of all girls feel the same way!
I found some of Micah's teeny tiny newborn socks this morning while cleaning out the boys' under things drawer and I thought, "I'm going to get to pull these on some more itty bitty feet in a couple months" as I threw them in to the crib with all the other infant baby items I've found lurking in the boys' closet! You know what else is really fun? I have all of my favorite outfits that I saved from when Kyle was 0-12 months old! These were in storage when Micah would have been able to wear them, but they will be perfect for baby boy since he'll be an August baby just like Kyle! I can't wait to pull them out again and remember our baby days with Kyle while making more memories with his baby brother.
Did I tell you we're half way there? Yep, 20 weeks, all downhill now to the big due date, and if I'm lucky he'll come a few days early just like his brothers did! My next big milestone I'm counting down to is 100 days to go. Off to bed, morning comes early with all these children in the house, even the one in my tummy is starting to wake me up with kicks and rolls!

So exciting that you are over halfway there! Just don't count on your little guy being born early like your others. I know from experience how disappointing it can be when the third baby chooses to make his own memories and come late! Especially in hot, humid August ;)
I'm so glad you are feeling good, Mindy. Happy Sunday!
I actually looked forward to church this morning too; and it was really good! I am so excited to be Nana again to a little baby boy! Love reading your posts; somewhere in your future, maybe more writing.
21 weeks!! Yippee!
