"You are my Sunshine"

Where to start?! As i sit here tonight anticipating tomorrow, so many thoughts are running through my head. I have so many emotions i can't decide where to start. For some reason the song lyrics "This is the day that Lord had made" keeps running through my head and "You are my Sunshine". Why? Who knows? Juliette will be joining the family bright and early in the morning. As i am typing she is kicking like crazy. I will miss those kicks and turns with all my heart. I love the feeling that this little miracle is inside me depending on me for everything. She is safe and warm and has no worries. I can keep her safe and protected. I will miss having her there. Her kicks are very sweet. I will miss her hiccups. Which always make me laugh. I have tried to treasure this pregnancy, even the not so goods. I am sad because this journey is coming to an end. BUT so excited that another one is about to begin. I will get to see and meet this beautiful little girl tomorrow. I wonder who she will look like. I wonder if she will have my eyes or Jonathan's. IF she will have Jonathan's nose or mine. I wonder? Will she have a head full of hair? Will she be small or big? How long will she be? So much we will find out tomorrow. Whoever she looks like I know she will be a beautiful GIFT from God. I can't wait to meet my second miracle.

I also sit here worried about my first miracle, Jackson! How will he react? What will he do? I love him! I know his world will totally change tomorrow. I just pray that he will adjust. We have tried to prepare him but what do you do. I know he will love her.

Oh, the reason i am singing sunshine song is because Jackson has just started singing "You are my sunshine". Him and I sing that every night before i put him to bed. My mom use to sing this song to me. So this song is special to me and it tickles me to death he sings it. I can't wait to sing it to her also, of course with Jacksons help.

I can't wait to meet her! We already love her so much!!!

Seeing Santa and Putting up the Christmas Tree


We went to see Santa this weekend at Brookwood. Jackson was so excited! When he saw Santa he took off at full speed and TACKLED Santa. Santa let out a BIG "HOHOHOHO-HA". Thank god there was no line because Jackson would have knock out anyone in his way. Jackson asked for a "Qeen Bike" aka Lightening McQueen Bike.



We also put up the Christmas tree. Jackson was a little elf DIRECTOR or DICTATOR. He loved telling us where to put ornaments. He truly is his mother's son, hahahaha.

3 years Old - Dec 1, 2008


I hope you had a wonderful Birthday. You had a birthday cookie cake at school. You also officially started 3K - Preschool today. We love you!!!

Baby Update - 37.5 wk and Baby Showers

We went to the Dr yesterday. Everything is still going good. Her heart rate was jumping around in between 160 and 180. The reason so high is because i had a couple of contractions but she is ok! She is starting not be as active but that's because she is out of room. I am measuring 38 wks. All my stats are still good, blood pressure, blood sugar and weight (up to 19 lbs now). I am STILL 1cm and 50% effaced. So it is still a go for Monday morning, Dec 8.

Jonathan's work threw us a shower yesterday and my work threw us one a couple of weeks ago. We both work with wonderful people. THANKS to all of them for showering Juliette with wonderful gifts and well wishes.

Happy 3rd BIRTHDAY, Jackson!!!


Happy Birthday baby boy!!!! I can't believe you are turning 3 today. Wow it just seems like yesterday we were awaiting your arrival into this world. So much has happen in the 3 short years of your life. We love you so much and our love only continues to grow. You came into our lives on December 1, 2005 at 5:17pm. You weighed 8lbs1oz and was 21.5in long. Everyone was at the hospital awaiting your arrival and so excited. As I look back and reflect on the past 3 years i can't believe that time went by so fast. I tried my hardest to treasure every moment with you. This past year has been the most fun because you were and are so active. We have done a lot this past year including the Circus, Disney, Florida, Aquarium, Playground and Zoo. You got to play in snow for the first time. You really started to talk. WOW the memories!!!! I hope you know how much your Dad and I love you!!! I will sign off with one of your favorite phrases Jackson- "It's couts, Mommy" and boy are you. PS you call yourself "My Jackson".
