Bitter Sweet Goodbyes!

Over the last week I have been going through what seems like thousands of totes of baby clothes. I realized about 2 weeks ago this baby is coming and we are far from ready. Yes I'm ready to have my body back and not die from the heat, but if he came home today I would have not one thing ready for him. We haven't even got a car seat yet, or even pick a name. I do have his quilt top finished and I'm taking it in tomorrow to Amy for her to quilt. But I think she is a month or so out on her schedule so hopefully I can get it done before I have the baby. But I didn't want to tell you all about my lack of organization and preparedness. I am so excited to be going through all the baby clothes from the last 11 years and 4 previous children. It will be nice to have just the one or two totes left that he will grow into. But as I sort through each outfit I reminisce seeing each child in that particular outfit. I'm not getting rid of a lot of the boy stuff so that is not as hard as tossing aside all the baby girl clothes Lizzie once wore. With the boys I aways knew another child of mine would wear it, but with her it is the end. I won't have another girl. No more cute pink onesies or sleepers, or white corduroy bell bottoms. Boys just don't look that great in those. It is an end of an era for me and even though it is nice to know that my family is complete, I will miss all the pink baby stuff. Not to say that blue baby stuff isn't good, it is just not as fun the 4th time around.

Today we spent the day at my mom and dad's with my baby sister. She came to Idaho for the 4th to spend it with her boyfriend and they came up today to visit us. My kid's were so excited to see her. I don't think we have seen her since Christmas. It was nice to visit for a little while and watch the kid's hang all over her. We actually had a nice time over all. No huge family fights, no name calling, no unwanted confrontations, it was amazing!!! We were only missing on brother, George and he is in Texas. Maybe we are going up and learning to keep our freaking mouth's shut. I guess we will see at Thanks Giving.

I just have to say that this business of not having a working camera is really starting to piss me off!! Hopefully by next week I will have a new one or my old one fixed. Sorry for that pictureless posts.
