Friday's Fabulous Five

1. On Friday I was sick. I don't think it was pregnancy related, but it was awful. I really hate being sick. Nate was awesome though. Came home from work, totally took over, let me sleep, just everything.... it was so wonderful. I just feel so blessed to have such a sweet husband who takes such good care of me and our kids. I don't ever want it to go unsaid that I am grateful for him. He really helped me out and made that little 2 day flu go much faster. He was also there, ready and willing to give me a Priesthood Blessing as well. To which I attribute feeling well so quickly to. So that too.... he's just wonderful.



2. Saturday was my extension of Mother's Day :) I redeemed my Mother's Day gift from Nate and the kids finally and went to my little spa day at the Garden Day Spa and Salon. I got to have my very first facial, and a manicure and pedicure. It was........AWESOME!!!!! What a perfect way to spend my last Saturday before having a new baby. I totally loved it. SO relaxing, so perfect. Happy Mother's Day to me.... I loved it! Thank you, Nate!





3. I'm not sure how, but SOMEhow Luke manages to find the largest piece of bread from the sacrament tray. Everytime I'm sitting by him and see him eyeball the tray for his piece, I'm just amazed at his ability! And he doesn't even have to paw through it all like most kids.... just zones right in to the big piece.... it's just awesome.

4. Today, Monday, as we got into the car, I was going through my head what the plan would be for the carseats when we have the baby. I have had it planned out for at least a month now, took lots of figuring in my head, but it'll be perfect. But it entails moving Brad and Luke to the back with Charity and moving Kelly up with Noah and eventually the baby. We've had just the three boys in the middle for a while now and I guess it's because of this patterny/grouping problem I have in my head, but for a second there this morning, I was feeling kinda bummed about separating the boys. Yeah, so Luke and Noah decided to make this whole move a little easier on me and basically fought and screamed all the way home from the school (not far, thank goodness). I couldn't help but smile and almost even laugh since I was feeling the way I was previously. It's nice when they do that for me :) It's been a nice time and now it is time for Noah and Luke to not be sitting by each other. And we're all going to be okay with that :) My plan is to have Charity and Brad in the back with Luke since one of them is sure to be there to buckle him in, and then Noah still needing to be buckled had to be in the middle and Kelly will be there as well to help with the baby, so hopefully this will work out. We'll see. Anyway :) I thought it was fabulous to now have to feel bad about that anymore :)

5. Tuesday we brought my sweet little Erika into the world... everything went so well, and it was such a neat experience.
