I haven't posted in a while, I'm not sure why. We had an ultrasound of the new baby and it was another girl. Not that we won't love her... but I'm pretty sure I was hoping for a boy. I am sure having 4 girls will be great. (Never mind that EVERYONE I know that is pregnant are having boys, seriously not one other girl out of about 10 people. I guess she will have her pick of boys when she is older!) I might be a little jealous and sad that I can't give my hubby a boy. I think I was more sad because I knew this was going to be my last child. We are done, which is a good feeling boy or girl! :) And it is easier for the whole clothes, room sharing, bathroom things. And my girls love eachother so much, that it will be nice to have another one to love. The funny thing is that A and W both wanted a brother. C of course doesn't even realize that there is a baby in mommy's tummy. I tried to tell her, but she doesn't get it. On a brighter note the baby is kicking and turning like crazy! The older girls felt her move for the first time the other night and that was great! A baby is an amazing wonderful thing! It was so fun to watch W's eyes light up and hear her giggle everytime the little one moved. A was just as great, she would say "I can't wait to meet her! I can't wait until she is old enough for me to say, I've seen your brain!" (she came to the ultrasound and thought that was really cool) Oh I had a funny thing happen. I was asleep and had a dream that there was this huge earthquake that seemed like it was going on forever. I finally woke up and the baby must have been doing jumping jacks in there, my stomach was dancing around like crazy! It is so good to know that so far so good a healthy baby girl. I do make them really cute... so I can't complain there. ;) Really I can't complain at all. D is a great dad to the girls. This next story will be appreciated by his family, he came home from work the other day and the girls all went and tackle/hugged him. He had A on one leg W on the other and was holding C. He walked/drug his feet to the carpet, then laid down. They laid and snuggled for a minute then A got a devilish look in her eye and said she would be right back. She came back and whispered something to W who got the same look and giggled. Then they got C and told D that they would be right back. They all came back with spray bottles of perfumes and lotions. He got up so fast, ran up the stairs yelling "NO, I have young mens tonight!" All three chased him up the stairs giggling. Then he comes bounding back down the stairs and shuts himself in our room. The girls are not too far behind and saying "Daddy" in really high pitched girly voices. They finally gave up after chasing him around for about 10 min. Another one that made me smile was one night for FHE the girls wanted to do makeup for the activity. After a little bit I had to go put C to bed. I came back down to find D painting W's nails. It was sooo cute! He is a good guy. I know he wanted a boy to, but I think he took it better than I did this time!
Totally unrelated thought. Yesterday the girls D and I went and played outside. We had the goats out and the chickens and D and A were playing catch, W was in the sandbox and C was splashing in puddles. I looked at them all and thought this is how life is supposed to be. I am happy and can't wait to have my last child join us! It is weird how life seems almost complete. Once this new little wonderful person comes I think it will.
A is great. She has been really into cooking lately. She has and easy bake oven and makes all sorts of creations and is having a blast doing that. She likes to make soup from a can like tomato or cream of mushroom and add different spices to see how they taste. I think her favorite is Oregano. Her schooling is giving me a bit of a headache, they are talking about closing the gifted program. I'm not quite sure what to do with her if that happens.
W is a little sweetie pie. Sure she drives me crazy, but she really doesn't mean to. She had a joy school lesson the other day on warm fuzzies and cold pricklies. She has been trying really hard since to make sure she gives me warm fuzzies! So cute. She also has been saying, "Mom would you take a hug and a kiss?" And I say of course I'll take those! She is getting exited from Special Ed Pre-school which is HUGE! She is just doing so well. No more speech either! They want to keep her as a peer model. To show the other kids what's up! ;) I think that is great since there is nothing wrong with her cognitive skills. In fact her teacher says she is too smart for her own good sometimes. Which I agree with! :)
C is a riot. She is almost always happy and laughing. She is the first one to give D a hug when he gets home, she LOVES babies (this actually makes me a little nervous!) She has become quite the helper. She loves to clean up messes, wipe the table, help put dishes away and push the wet clothes into the drier. Her speech wasn't improving as fast as the speech therapist would have liked so she moved into a 2 day a week 90 min class instead of 1 a week 60 min class. What does this mean for me? Well it means Tues are crazy! At 8:30 I drive for 8 min to drop off A at the bus, then I wait for the kids I watch to go to school. Then at 9:00 I drop W off at Joy school (about 10 min away) and then come home (about 15 min home) then head off to C's class at 11:00 (takes about 20 min from my house) then I have to go pick W up from Joy school at 12:00 to have her back at the school (about 10 min) for her Special ed Pre-school, only to turn right back around and pick C up from her speech at 1:00! Then I get to go home and put C down for a little nap before I have to go back to the school at 4:00 to get A off the bus! So that is fun... C gets soooo tired of getting in and out of the carseat by the end of the day that she has a meltdown. But it will all be worth it when she is doing as well as W!
I will post some pics of our goings on later!

It is about freaking time you posted!!! I have been missing you like crazy! Glad that things are going well for all of you...I love hearing about the new little one moving like crazy! Love you sis!
It is A-OK and completely normal to grieve over the gender, I totally understand. I cried in the baby's ultrasound last year.
My BFF/Sis in Law has three girls and will find out in hopefully 8 weeks if she is having a boy or a girl. We are hoping for a boy, but they make cute girls!
My other Sis in Law, just found out she is having her 4th boy, it's a hard adjustment, she was really hoping for a little girl (her oldest is a girl, but she really wanted another).
You make gorgeous girls!
And for what it's worth, the man decides the gender, so there is nothing about you "giving" your hubby a boy, it's actually all his fault..LOL Go punch him in the arm.
Love how you just used the first letter of everyone's name! Oh, and I'll look for you to post more pics in about 5 months. HAHA!
Just thinking that if you name this little one Ashley then you can't use her and Aubrey's first letter in your blog anymore! Better go with Lindsey or Laurie! Love ya!
Another girl!! Wow I can't believe you are going to have 4 girls, you are the new Dick and Sharlene. Well except that you aren't going to have 5 of them. Maybe Dan can only make girls, they are especially cute. Do you have any names picked out yet? I am excited to see her!
This made me miss my children- I can picture days like you just had of looking at my family and feeling overwhelming love for them- I still have those feelings when we get together as a family and now the grandkids are there!- but those times are not as often because we don't get to be together everyday.
