Truly Blessed

OK, so there are 7 weeks left of this pregnancy, and if my doctor lets me get induced a week early, then we have 6.  Now at some point I know I will be panicking and running around trying to get everything ready, but I haven't seemed to hit that point in my pregnancy yet.  Maybe because I am so stinking tired and feeling huge, or maybe it is knowing that we have to climb up in the attic of our garage to get all the clothes out and baby bassinet and swing out, and since I am too big to get up there, trying to convince Steve it is a good idea, is always a fun process. :) And then there is my crazy hormonal emotions, one moment I am happy, the next I am sad, the next I am hyper, then I am mad...the one nice thing is that since this is my last pregnancy, my kids will be able to have a more balanced mom, and Steve will have a more balanced wife...well at least they will after my thyroid medicine levels out after the baby comes.  I am truly excited for this baby, I wish we knew if it was a boy or a girl, but either way we are prepared. 

One short story, Tyson was walking in the Walmart parking lot with me and I reminded him to hold my hand.  He said,"Mommy I know I have to hold your hand because of the crazy cars, if I got hit and died then there would be no more Tyson, and you would be sad because you would never see me again."  So I looked down at him, held his hand and said"Guess what Tyson, no matter what happens to you, I will always see you again because we have been sealed as an eternal family, and so we will be with each other forever."  He looked up at me, smiled and said."Oh that's right mommy, I will always have you....I love you."  It is moments like that, that make me truly grateful for my children, the gospel, and the perfect man who took me to the temple over 11 years ago to be sealed for time and all eternity.  I am grateful that I will always have my children and husband with me, and that we will always be a forever family.  And I am completely humbled and grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who has blessed me with these beautiful children, who love me no matter what mood I am in...what a wonderful, blessed life I have.
