We haven't died, I've just been pregnant

I don't update much when I'm busy feeling like a beached whale. Either that or I spend every free moment resting. Either way, my bad. 


We have less than 3 weeks until Isla makes her grand entrance into the world! I think everything is going to go beautifully with our hospital choice and doctor combo. :) We're all set to be induced at 7:30am on Tuesday, December 8th! All of my babies will have been born on a Tuesday. Interesting. I'm expecting this delivery to go off without a hitch and for her to be here sometime in the early afternoon. 

We bought a van last night. It's official. I'm a mom. Yes, just now. Yes, I know I'll have 3 kids in a matter of days, but I am just now a "mom." It's a 2004 Nissan Quest. I really like it (scary much?) and I'm really excited to have a vehicle that will be big enough to hold our family should it keep expanding. I'd really rather not buy another vehicle while big and pregnant. I've done that 3 times now. 


Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Thank goodness! Pregnant on Thanksgiving - can you think of a better reason to stuff yourself? I can't! Ha!


I tried to put the kids down for a nap a little while ago and Selah Jade kept saying "poo poos, poo poos" so I looked in her diaper (she usually goes around this time) and it was clean. I asked her if she needed to poo poo and she said yes. Okay... I do NOT want to start potty training just a few weeks before a new baby joins us (for energy and regression reasons) or before she's physically capable of holding her bladder all night long, but when the girl says I need to go and insists upon doing the business on the toilet, what do you do?! I took her in there and set her on the potty. She never did anything, but she tried. Man, oh man. I guess I'm going to be forced to bring in the potty chair. Noah was so proud that she even tried. I made him stay in his bed while I took her and he was yelling through the house"Has she poo pooed yet?! Let me know!" lol What did he ever do for entertainment before she came along? :)

I guess I'm proud, even if I don't want this to be happening quite yet. The goal was to start potty training in March. Oh my goodness.


Noah is getting really big. I can't believe he's gaining on 4 years old. It's really insane. I'm an old woman! Complete with a mi... no. We can't call it that. It's a Mommy-van.
