The number of the day is nine

Only 9 more days until Seth's big arrival and I do mean BIG arrival. I had an ultrasound done at 36 weeks and big stuff was already weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces with a month left of growing to do so my doctor scheduled me for an induction at 39 weeks on Monday, April 7th....which is only 9 days away!!! I am so so ready. Well hy house and his room aren't ready but my body is ready. I keep waiting for that "nesting energy" to kick in but so far it's only"laying-on-the-couch-energy-and-letting-my-boys-watch-more-TV-than-they-ever-have-in-their-life-energy" that has kicked in so far. :) Like I've been telling everyone I don't thikn it's the 30+ pounds I've gained with Seth that is wearing me out as much as the 30 pounds of Titus I'm carrying around that is taking it's toll. That boy is not ready to give up his throne as the baby of the family.

We've been keeping busy with lots of company. Jessica, one of our youth groupers from Richmond came and stayed this week during her Spring Break and, Alyse, the daughter of my old youth minister (who is now a senior and I can't believe it) came before her. And the big highlight was the boys spending a week at Camp Grandma with cousin Ty. My mom is a teacher so she has spring break off and she and my dad took the boys camping for several days the week before Easter. They had all kinds of adventures that I wish I had pictures of.
Anyways here's some pics I do haveof what we've been up to...

36 weeks

Hope this 1/2 naked photo doesn't come back to haunt me some day when I'm running for office

Sorry if this makes anyone squeamish!! I thought it was sweet.

9 days, girl!!!!! whoo-hoo!! april 7 is Clint's birthday, so he thinks Seth will be your best looking guy yet!! (and he wanted me to add charming and witty to the list as well)
Forget getting the "house ready"... you need to go sleep up and get your toenails done!! Hug on those other 2 sweeties extra tight in these next 9 days! I love the excitement of the new baby coming! It all kinda makes me want to do it again! God bless you, friend! I love you!

What is it with you guys and my family's birthdays? Levi was born on my dad's, Titus was born on my mom's, and you're inducing Seth on my grandfather's 80th! If you have any more, I bet I can predict the date based on my closest family date.
Good luck! I'll be waiting for the update!
