Christmas is coming!

Okay, okay...I know, everyone has been asking for more pictures -- but I'm waiting. First of all, because I don't have a camera that works right now -- and secondly, we're having an open house this weekend, and would hate to ruin the surprise of what the finished product looks like before people have a chance to come out and see it. If you didn't get invited to the open house, you're still welcome. I don't have everyone's emails, and it's hard to remember everyone -- 4-7pm at the new house. Just remember -- no shoes allowed! :)

Christmas is coming fast --- but I'm glad. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm in the Christmas spirit, which if you know me, this is REALLY late to be feeling that way. Usually I'm busting out the Christmas music the day after Halloween. This year, I was mad at the radio station for playing it before Thanksgiving...not sure what my deal is...but I'm there now. Having a tree up, and setting out my nativity scene helped put me in the mood I think. And getting settled in somewhere hasn't hurt anything either! Shopping is 90% finished. I'm excited about that. I've just got our Mom's and Jason left to buy for...and his bosses most likely. Will be a busy week next week, getting things wrapped, under the tree, and into order before Christmas eve.

Not much else to report. I am officially 33 weeks, and feeling pretty good. Sleep is terrible, and Jason just can't understand that. I swear, the little bugger inside me is trying to put itself up and out over my right ribs in the middle of the night. And last night, I went to the bathroom 3 times...I hadn't been getting up more than once a night...and now it's 3 times a night...which is obnoxious. I'm getting anxious to meet baby though, and a little scared too...just not sure what to expect or how it's all going to go. Please pray everything goes smoothly and safely for both of us. They said this kind of anxiety was normal...and I'm sure things will be fine, but it's definitely scary! Dr. is happy though, heartbeat is strong, my blood pressure is in good shape, and he's happy with my weight gain. So, we're doing okay.  I go back in three weeks, and they'll check my progress at that point. 

Okay...well, come out Sunday if you are available/interested, and I'll post pictures soon for those of you who have followed this, but can't make it. It should be a fun afternoon, friends/family, food & football...Go Colts! :)

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Two + Two + One more = FIVE

Yup, you read that right, by the end of July, the Stockment's will officially be a family of five. Jason and I learned in mid-November that we were expecting our third child and we were both overjoyed with the news. (More so than I thought Jason would be -- he wasn't convinced on having another (or should I say, not as convinced as I was), but once he saw that baby's heartbeating on the monitor at the docs office, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore!!) I convinced Jason to keep our news to immediate family, however, failed to remember that we have a VERY chatty 4 year old, and a 2 year old who repeats everything her big bro says! :) So, we told our families on a Tuesday evening (after our doc appointment that afternoon) and by Thursday, I think half of White County knew. If you attend or drop children off to attend Pam's daycare or Bright Beginnings Preschool, you were amongst the first to know! I had hoped for some elaborate scheme to tell both of our parents ...

Life's Beachy

What a whirlwind month March has been! From the baby reveal to birthday parties (Madi turning 3, Sawyer turning 2 and soon Brad & Debbie!), to Jason working weekend after weekend at his side job, to moving Matt & Sarah into their new home, to Jason getting a new job, to kindergarten round up, to preparing for Florida....whew! Yup, you read that right -- after 14 years with Bouma Betten, Jason is making a jump. He applied for a job with Monsanto in Remington, and was lucky enough to be offered the job just last week. I am so beyond proud of him -- he's not a resume/interview kind of guy, but he put his best foot forward and proved what a hard worker he is. He'll start there as a Seed Tech in mid-April and although it will mean big changes for him (and US!), it will be worth it. The benefits cannot be topped...vacation time, paid time off for sick leave, 401K, health -- all things he didn't have (or did have, but not great) in his current job. It will certainly be a...
