My belly

This is my big belly. Here I am almost 34 weeks. People keep telling me I am small and

that can't believe I have 6 weeks left. I don't feel small.

In fact I feel:
*heartburn
*insomnia
*back pain
*round ligament pain
*mild amount of trepidation
*excitement

Little Miss is going to be a great big sister.
She loves kissing my belly
and saying "Hi" to baby brother.
She talks about him all the time.
Last week she even said
"I have been dreaming of him my WHOLE life!"
She keeps talking about how she is going
to be soft and gentle
to him and how she is going to hold him
just so he doesn't cry.

I can't believe my baby girl is going to be a
big sister soon.

It is a GRIFFIN...

According to Wikipedia....The GRIFFIN, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: γρύφων, grýphōn, or γρύπων, grýpōn, early form γρύψ, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the GRIFFIN was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature....In heraldry, the GRIFFIN's amalgamation of lion and eagle gains in courage and boldness, and it is always drawn to powerful fierce monsters. It is used to denote strength and military courage and leadership. GRIFFINs are portrayed with a lion's body, an eagle's head, long ears, and an eagle's claws, to indicate that one must combine intelligence and strength.

It's also the name we have chosen for our little boy, due April 2011.

Griffin Hunsaker.

*******************************************************************

He is going to have his dad's first name, but we will be calling him by his middle name.

We are so excited for this little boy to join our family. We can't wait to meet him, especially Little Miss!

Do you know what this is?

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day

to to my two favorite Valentines....

I LOVE YOU TWO SO MUCH! Thank you for being my everything!

Wow. A lot has happened since I last blogged.

OCTOBER

My friend has an awesome awesome business. It is called Radiant Manufacturing.
Their company makes solar rays, which sounds like something for solar panels, but they aren't.

See those sequence panels on the top of the displays? I helped make those. Her company had a huge HUGE order due and they needed help. So I said sign me up! Little Miss, Mr. Man and I headed to Wyoming for 2 weeks so I could be a working mom for a while. I didn't like leaving the kids, especially the 3rd day when right before I left Little Miss started throwing up. Mom took good care of her (I think she was just eating different which made her sick.) I only did it because my mom and mother in law where able to take care of them. I not going to lie...I enjoyed the couple hours of uninterrupted me time. I got to listen to what I wanted to on my ipod. I talked with adults. But it made me realize how stinking lucky I am to be a full time stay at home mom. Leaving them sucked. I hated it. I fully appreciate any mom that works out of the home. I know how hard it must be for them.

So like I said I was gone for two weeks. While in Wyoming I found Little Misses Halloween Costume. She really wanted to be Rapunzel. The only dress we could find was $20 at Walmart...so we got it, but she had to earn it. For every extra chore she did, she earned a dime. We made a Spiderman Chart (she originally wanted to be Spiderman...) and put a sticker on it for every dime she earned. She was so good. She helped so much. Little Miss, I think has a pretty good understanding for her age that things cost money. She knew that she had to earn her costume and wasn't going to just get it. Well, in a consignment store I found a purple dress. WHen she saw it she said "It's Rapunzels dress!" So we bought it...for $3!! By that time she had already earned $9. My wonderful mother in law was able to fix it better into Rapunzel and even made a yarn wig! So amazing! Thanks Becky!

Then For Thanksgiving we spent the Holidays in Wyoming again. It was a nice relaxed time there.

In December we made our traditional stocking, but didn't take pictures :( . Mister was also sick for half of December. He kept getting fevers for a couple of days then fine for a couple of days. It freaked me out! His highest temperature was 103.7! I hate when my kids are sick. Luckily he responded to the medicine and still ate like a champ so he was "okay". We did take him to the doctor but they think it was just a virus. Still sucked though. I also celebrated, more like reflected on the fact that on December 19th, it was 3 years ago that I was in a coma. I feel so lucky to be where I was...


to where I am now.

I really am truly blessed.


The kids had a great Christmas. Mister was great and Little Miss totally didn't see the bike RIGHT IN FRONT of her stocking until we pointed it out! That was pretty funny. It was a wonderful day. Branch also spent a week in Las Vegas for an Ed Fair to get Continuing Education credits for his job. He loved the food there, and I went a little crazy by myself. Actually, the kids did surprisingly well, considering.

Um...I don't think there is anything else. I will try to get back to blogging regularly. I know you all miss me right? :)
