My newest little superhero has arrived

Asher Alexander is finially in my arms. He was born Monday March 29 at 9:12 pm weighing 7 pounds and 10 ounces and 20 and 1/2 inches long. I promise more to post when I get a moment.

A conversation with my superhero

Isn't amazing when a child puts things into perceptive. My oldest (6 years old) climbs into my bed this morning ready to seize the day. While we are doing our morning cuddle, he looks at my belly and says "Momma when is Asher coming out?" I then reply " I don't know baby, any day this week or Monday when he's ready" He then looks at me with his beautiful big eyes and says "Are you going to miss being pregnant?" Which makes me stop and think I have been so caught up in being anxious for our newest little sugarpie to arrive that I didn't give it any thought. I do love being pregnant, I love the whole thing about it. I love feeling the little peanut moving, I love that I am it's only source of nutrition, it relies on me. I love that special connection I feel because for 9 months they are completely mine. I even love giving birth. I love going in and the excitement of any moment I will be meeting that little person who God made specifically for our family. That I will be tenderly kissing those little elbows and knees that made their way into ribs and bladder. The entire process is always a miracle. While in my thought Colby just looks at me again and then says "Don't worry mom, when Asher is a little bigger you'll just get pregnant again, and then after that and after that" In which I stop him and ask "How many do you think we are having?" Colby then rolls his eyes and says "That's easy mom we are going to have 10, we are going to have an awesome big family"
Dear handsome hubby, since I know you frequent my blog I want you to know that I did not coax Colby into saying any of the above....But maybe just maybe he's a prophet. In any case strap on those boots God is about to take us on adventure.

So it has begun

That point in the preganancy that everyone one feels perfectly fine giving their two cents. From "My you are huge, and your having twins right, or haven't you had the baby yet well I ate spicy food and went right into labor. Best yet is when they (who you barely know) say go home and have sex and baby will be out in no time. To them I know you mean well, but this is my 4th full term baby and with the first 2 took everyones advise and ate, drank, walked, drove over bumpy roads, and attacked my husband to full lengths, and nothing worked and actually became late by 2/1 weeks. So with my wonderful little Asher who has decided to take his time upon arriving, is not due till monday the 22nd, I am not doing anything out of the ordinary to encourage him to come out except my normal activity. He will be here soon enough and well quite honest it is beautiful out and I want to enjoy it to the max with my other 3 little cupcakes before getting cooped up in a hospital bed.

9 months pregnant...and waiting

Wait Wait Wait...trying to be patient, even singing the patience song "Have patience have patience don't be in such a hurry, remember when you are impatient you only start to worry, remember remember that God is patient too, and think about all those times that others have had to wait for you"

Okay I'm all done being patient....come out little peanut...I'm driving myself crazy

So what to do on the coldest day of the year?

Well we go to Boston as a family, that's what we did. Handsome hubby, kiddos and myself enjoyed a day walking around Boston, hanging out together and just enjoying the sights, sounds, and each other. I am so blessed.

All I want to do is sleep

It has got to be because I’m in the last couple of months of pregnancy, but no kidding I am exhausted. I want to sleep, sleep and more sleep. I honestly feel that if I sit for more the 3 minutes in one spot I will fall into a pregnancy coma. I go to bed early with the handsome hubby, and get up later then the poor thing (who gets up at 4), but my body just feels drained. Even beloved coffee isn’t doing much to combat this problem..lol okay maybe it’s not so serious but Lord knows I need a burst of energy. Maybe it has also something to with this ridiculous freezing weather we have today. It’s 10 degrees out today! Seriously 10…ugh why do I live in Massachusetts again? Oh yeah I forgot it’s in hope to retire in Cape Cod someday….lol….right
