Here we go again

Hello to all. For those of you who don't know, I am pregnant again. I am very excited, but also very nervous. After having a stillborn, it is hard to have an exciting pregnancy because I am constantly wondering what is going on in there and how I am suppose to get through the next 9 months. Well thankfully I have made it through the first half. Getting through the next half will be stressful and I am sure I will need to have faith. No more happy blissful pregnancies for this girl, I am a stress-case and could use any advice and encouragement you have!!!!
We found out it is another girl! I am thrilled. She is moving alot and I am loving every minute of it. We like the name Caitlynn-what do you think????? Our minds could change easily but for now I am digging it. I am due Oct 10th but they are inducing me around Sept 24th for obvious reasons. Pray for me to survive that long!!!!!!
As far as the other two kids, we are getting ready for swimming lessons and summer camps. Luke is getting excited for Kindergarten and I am getting excited to have him gone five mornings a week-is that a bad thing to admit???? Brooke has her ballet recital this Saturday. She is only 3 but they have had 3 rehersals just this week! It should be great and I can't wait for JR to see her in her little costume.
JR is enjoying his job and I keep having to remind him of his family at home. We love that he is employed and that we are able to do fun things with his paycheck but we also would love more time with our daddy. I think this is going to be an ongoing struggle for our family. He says that he has to work so hard to compensate for my spending habits(whatever) and I say that if he was home more I wouldn't need to spend so much on food and extra-curricular activities(going for ice-cream 3x this week and spending $180 at Costco on who knows what) I guess he does have a point. But the ice-cream was all the babies fault I swear.

Ronna! So great to read from you. I have been thinking about you for the past two weeks. I love the name Caitlin. It is such a sweet sounding name.

I wish I had some kind of advice to give to you regarding the stress you are feeling carrying this baby, but I don't. Nothing worth typing, anyway. Hang in there! I will attempt to find a time to call you - when all is quiet here. We don't have our cell phone anymore and so I have to make calls while with children. Hmmmm... doesn't work out so great.

I love you!! keep writing. Even little snippets. I love knowing what is going on.

Lots of love and hugs from me!

Ronna, I'm so happy you started a blog. Maybe I will start posting more now too, so we can keep in better touch. I sure miss you and living so close.

Hey Ronna! I'm excited to know you have a blog, and that you're having another baby! I love the name. We actually considered it for our first, but Brent says it's way too popular. But I still love it! I hope things continue to go well for you. Come visit our blog sometimes, too!
