the weekend is here....

and we had SOOOO MANY PLANS but unfortunatly, we will be staying in this weekend instead of going to 2 birthday parties....i can't expose matthew to any more germs or illness!! he is going on over 3 weeks of being just SICK!! he is still sick but GOD WILLING he seems to be getting BETTER....we got our RESPIRTECH MACHINE on thursday and we are soooo happy! he has been getting a treatment with the vest every THREE HOURS right now while awake (5 times a day) along with suctioning and such...poor baby is really not liking it!!i just PRAY PRAY PRAY that he clears up and gets back to normal....we have to get him healthy because this week is ALEX'S WEEK!!! why? my BIG BOY will be 5 YEARS OLD!!! i can't believe that my baby is going to be 5!! i am AMAZED!! i can remember soooo vividly when i was pg with him and when he was born! this year, daddy won't be here for his birthday and i am soooooo sad. so is he. but i think that GOD WILLING, when james comes home later this month (19 more days!) we might do a little something as a family for him....maybe just go out to eat or order in or bbq or SOMETHING...we will also hold some of his other gifts back so he can have something for that day too! on his ACTUAL birthday, the 10th, we are going to go to the big CHEESE and eat lunch there....probably just us and maybe some cousins....just a little something....he is FINALLY acknowledging that he is going to be 5 and i think it is because he knows that daddy will be here SOON...

anyway, all is going well here.....i think joshua is moving on DOWN because it is harder for me to do things that i was just gushing about a couple of weeks ago! this is all within the last couple of days....i have had a bunch of pressure and also things like turning over in bed is FINALLY getting hard to do! i was kinda excited that i could still do it without all the hoopla but now, BOY! and walking up stairs...well, it is not easy anymore....i am getting excited!! this week i will be 36 WEEKS ALONG!!! can you believe that? i am just soooo happy and excited that SOON i will be meeting this little man! my THIRD!! WHAT A BLESSING....
