Getting through it

A lot of people have asked me how I do it: being pregnant & taking care of 3 kids. We've been taking it one day at a time & surviving most days. Our days consist of Makelle boxing...
Ethan going camera happy on Lexi...

...and on himself...

Makelle hiding in the cupboards... this is her favorite spot & she literally does this all the time, I don't know what it is, but she loves to be in there...

and bathtime... the kids' favorite time of day!
I've been trying to enjoy every moment I have with these kids, things just aren't going to be the same after Kyler joins our family. I don't know how I'm going to get through it... I'll probably never leave the house. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. I love my life & the challenges it brings. I'm learning to love the challenges because I'm learning to better myself & the way I handle them.
Ethan is loving pre-school. He's doing so well & even starting to read. He's looking forward to Kindergarten.
Lexi loves to look pretty & so we spend a lot of our days putting on make up & doing nail polish. She's initiated learning her letters & writing her name. She's so proud of herself & know she's smart... "like Ethan"
Makelle is so happy & has a fake laugh that just cracks me up every time. She repeats everything we say & loves it when the kids involve her in their playtime.
I'm looking forward to having this baby... I bet no one out there understands that... you all love being pregnant. I'm experiencing more aches & pains than ever, but somehow manage... how did I get so lucky to have the best husband ever? He's an amazing support & I don't think I would make it if it wasn't for him & the joy he brings to our family.
