The Last Days

As April began, I knew we were nearing our last days as a family of five and for me, as a mother of three.  As I anxiously wait for the arrival of my new baby, hoping it will come sooner rather than later because I'm quite uncomfortable, I try to remember to cherish the last few weeks of this stage in my life.  Knowing that things will never be as they were again once that new addition arrives.  This time around, I didn't realize how little precious time I had left to cherish just hanging out with Lily, Ava and Will.  But here are some of the things we did.

The girls took their first trip to the dentist.  Where they both got great reviews on their beautiful teeth.
They had them wear these glasses because of the bright light they use.

 My friend was moving house, and she had all these Thomas the Tank Engine tracks and accessories that her son no longer plays with so she donated them to Will.  And he was in heaven!!!  The girls really like them too.

I finished up all my projects for Baby Sofia and the house.

The next morning after we got the tracks.  Back at it again, bright and early.

Will has been so silly lately.  We were getting ready to go to a baptism and Will came out of my room wearing my dress. I think he looks quite stunning.  ;)

Then when they were eating a quick dinner before it was time to go, Will put all his spaghetti noodles on his head.  Such a funny boy.  :)

I was so excited that we can now hook our computer up to our TV that even though we have to do it a week later because of time differences we get to do General Conference Utah style.  From the comfort of our own home!  Yay!  I was just sad that Cory still had to go to the church for every broadcast.  We missed him.

We played draw the speaker.  Which was my favorite game.

And the girls drew their own bingo boards.  Sorry they are facing the wrong way...wasn't sure how to fix that.  But their little drawings are priceless.

More speakers...President Monson.

Elder Holland

Not sure who this is, whoever spoke after Elder Holland and the Sister speaker from Saturday morning.

Here are just a few pictures from my nesting frenzy all over the house.  I really should have put some before pictures, but trust me, it's a huge improvement.

I was so glad that I had this put together front room that people could come and visit after I had the baby and there was a place for everyone to sit and visit without having to go deeper into my house and see the disaster that was there.

After conference on Sunday the kids really wanted to go have a picnic at Hammond Park.  I was feeling really tired and not up to it, but I decided to just do it.  I am so glad that I did, because little did I know that two days later I would be having a baby.  Last park trip with just the three of them.  And it was great.  I love them so much.

On Monday, after I went to my doctors appointment and he told me I was going to be induced the next day we were running around doing all sorts of things.  We got to go stop by Cory's work.  Will always asks everyday if we can go see Daddy's trucks.  So he was in heaven.  Strangely, I don't have any pictures of him driving and playing on the equipment...but I have plenty of the girls.

That was it for the last days before baby number four.  :)  I sure enjoyed being a mom of three and am really excited for this new stage in my life as a mom of four.  :)
