Laisa's 5!!!

My little girl is 5 today. It's amazing how quickly the time goes! She is such a sweetheart and always wanting to help mom and dad, unless it's picking up her toys :P She's a great big sister and I can't wait to see how she'll be with the baby! We had both sets of her grandparents over for dinner last Saturday to celebrate her 5th birthday. I wasn't sure what would be happening on her birthday. :) But, today was just a normal day for us. We had MOPS this morning and she helped me make mini cupcakes to take to her class. They sang Happy Birthday to her and she thought that was pretty special. Then we had some friends over for lunch and later my sister came over with her kids and we sang again and gave her presents from us and them. It was a beautiful day so they spent a lot of time playing outside. Just before bed Aunt Anna, Lauren and Jacob stopped by to drop off a little something for her. Plus, the fun birthday cards she's received in the mail over the last 2 days with a little something extra in them. She was feeling pretty special today! I'll try to get some pictures posted soon. But, I should head to bed for now.

Patience....

Ok, this isn't the best picture of me but I thought I'd share it anyways.

Well, I'm convinced that the end of pregnancy is God's way of teaching me patience! It's so hard not knowing when this little one is going to arrive! I only have 3 days until my due date and I'm getting so anxious to see him, hold him, kiss him!!! It doesn't help when you have friends having babies all around you and yours is still nice and comfy inside. :) The good news is, I found out yesterday, if I don't go into labor on my own by Wednesday the 24th they are going to induce me. Yay for knowing that I won't go longer then that!! :)
