My next post will be my 100th post! I thought the day would never come! I can't seem to blog everything I want to because of time and constant computer problems, but wow I'm all most there! Other blogs I have visited have had prizes and fun things, so I will need to think about what I am going to do-but you have to comment to win :) Anyway, things are moving right along with the nursery and one more coat on the floor should seal the deal! I have to wait three days after this to move furniture in, but I am excited to decorate!!!! I seem to have a different emotion every day about this baby. Fear is a big one-"what am I doing having five children!!!?" Excitement-"I am going to have a girl!!" Worry-"What if something goes wrong? Is this too good to be true?" Guilt-"I can't do everything I want to with my boys because I am so tired and huge" It's like a big roller coaster of emotions! I love having a big family. We have a lot of fun together and there's always something to do with each other. There are drawbacks too though, like money which is scarce and trying to stretch your time to each child so they don't feel lost. I hope my boys look back on childhood with fond memories though and feel like they are an essential part of our family. I was getting really worried about after the baby comes and how I am possibly going to do it all, but at church I looked around and felt so much love for my ward family and know they will help me with anything I need. I really have the greatest ward! Several people have helped me paint the nursery and get things ready, they have helped with my boys by taking them for an afternoon so I can rest, and everyone is so excited for my baby shower. It's so comforting to know of all the support I really have. I even had offers today if I need to call someone in the middle of the night to help with the boys (by some crazy chance I actually did go into labor on my own!) It just means a lot to me.
Well, I am going to go and figure out my GRAND prizes for you wonderful people who actually do read this! Just don't forget to leave a comment tomorrow!

I couldn't agree with you more regarding having a great ward. Everyone is so willing to jump to your aid when in need and it is genuine.
