August 4th

We have an inducing date!!! AUGUST 4th! I had the option of having the baby on July 30th, but I figured since I had waited this long for her, I'd do all I could to have an August baby, so she'll have her own birthday month. Now, if she wants to come early tomorrow...then hey, that's her choice! I have had a few contractions here and there, but nothing serious. So, Klaire Rylee (Riley, Ryleigh, Rylie) Alma will be here no later than August 4th. (Obviously we still haven't decided on the spelling of the middle name. Feel free to leave your opinion on that one!
In no particular order:
1. Klaire Rylee Alma
2. Klaire Riley Alma
3. Klaire Rylie Alma
4. Klaire Ryleigh Alma

Two weeks from today!!!!!

Well, baby Klaire Riley/Rylee will be here no later than TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!! (We still haven't decided the spelling of her middle name!) I'm hoping she comes early enough so the older boys can come home, and then go to camp next week, but I'm not holding my breath even though the doctor said I've softened and I'm 3 cm. I guess we just have to wait and see. It's all in God's timing, right?

Nesting part three - Klaire's letters

Here's phase one of Klaire's letters. Someone was asking me how to do them. It's super easy. First you but the paper out and glue it to the letter. (You put it face down on the back of the paper and trace the letter onto the back of the paper.) After the glue dries I either cut the excess paper off or I sand it off. Remember if you don't cut exactly right or something.....you can always fix it later.) I also like to use a sealer to put on the top of the paper too to make sure the paper doesn't start to come off. That's why I use Mod Podge glue because it's a glue and a sealer.Then after it dries you simply add the ribbon and embellishments. Here's where you can fix any imperfections with your cutting techniques (especially if you're like me) by simply covering them with the embellishments. Just add the buttons, ribbon, and flowers. I add a little 3 dimensional paint too just for kicks! And then Voila...you're done!

lack of blogging

I haven't been in a blogging mood lately Sorry, ya'll. We've not done too much of anything the past couple of weeks. Of course, we've visited some parks watched some movies (Night of the Museum 2 and UP - both of which are pretty good), and done some shopping, but nothing too exciting. I'm trying to get motivated to start school again, go till the baby is here, and then take our summer vacation, but I'm not feeling that vibe anymore. I did get to go to a used curriculum sale this past week, and I got my History curriculum: Tapestry of Grace along with some reading books for the kids. So technically I have all my books, so I can't even use that as an excuse. Must get motivated!!!! Or.....maybe I could just take two months off and not finish next year until the end of June... hmmmm...there's an idea. I'm sure my kids would love that.
I think the most exciting thing that's going on this past week is the fact that my next ob doctor's appointment is in TWO weeks!! I've hit the one appointment every two week mark. Yay!!! Which means, just a two of these and then we're down to 1 appointment a week! Baby girl #2 will be here before we know it.

and without further ado.....

You heard it here first!
