This past weekend was our last weekend as a family of four. Crazy! I never imagined we would be a family of 5, but I can't wait to see what God has in store for us. Friday night Andy picked up pizza and we watched Elf of the Shelf. It was a fun, relaxing family night. Saturday Andy painted in Mason's room, then we took a trip to College Station to go to Santa's Wonderland. We decided to splurge and take the kids on the hayride through Santa's Wonderland. I didn't take many pictures of Santa's Wonderland because we used the camcorder instead. The hayride through the lights was really neat. They had music playing that coordinated with each scene of lights. It was the perfect weather for the hayride. I started feeling bad toward the end of the ride though. I was very nauseated. We left Santa's Wonderland around 8:30 and went to eat at Chuy's (of course!) but I could barely eat. I was wondering if I was about to go into labor, but it turned out to just be an upset stomach. Below is a picture of Andy and Mason on the bus that took us from the parking lot to Santa's Wonderland.
I know I am pregnant, but I didn't think I looked THIS big in real life! Must have been a bad angle! :)
Walking into Santa's Wonderland.
We got back home around 10:30pm. Alex went straight to bed. Andy said he was going to paint some more in Mason's room. Mason REALLY wanted to help. So at 11pm Mason and Andy were painting his room! Sunday, I woke up in the WORST mood. The hormones were in full force. I was mad about everything. I was tired of being pregnant, fat, and congested. I couldn't even get the boys ready for church. Andy took care of everything that morning. He has been such a saint putting up with my moods. Everything set me off. As the day progressed though, I was able to gain some control. But even today my patience is pretty much non existent. My poor family! Everyone in our house is very congested. I don't know if it's allergies, cold, sinus or what. I am struggling to breath and that doesn't help my mood at all. I don't get much sleep as it is, but it's even more limited now that I have a hard time breathing. Lack of sleep doesn't help with the mood situation either. Are you seeing a theme here?! My mood= BAD! I feel terrible about being so grouchy on our last days as a family of four.
I got a nice treat today though. Kristi picked the boys up from school and kept them until 6:00 tonight. They had so much fun. They made playdough, did science experiments & crafts, ate Christmas cookies, etc. They have the best time when they are with her. Thank you SO much Kristi! I used the quiet time to actually rest, which I never do these days!
I can't believe we are on the home stretch. We will have a baby by this weekend! I can't wait to see who Austin looks like. Will he look like Andy (like Mason and Alex did)? Will he have any features that resemble my dad? I hope we all get well before Austin arrives! Three more days!
