in sickness and in health...

So Jordan and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on Wednesday. What did we do to celebrate? Nothing! He was downstairs all night (he even slept down there) and I was upstairs. We had plans but Natalie got sick that day so Jordan wanted to stay away. Happy anniversary to us! She got over it in one day but I got it the next day. Apparently there's some g.i. bug going around. So we laid low the entire weekend and I sanitized like crazy but now as I type this, Jordan is sick with it too. I'm praying that Ruby doesn't get it now too....

Natalie and Ruby continue to change and grow-up. Ruby is just about the same age that Natalie was when I had her. I'm glad that I've still got time to prepare for baby #3. Natalie is at such a fun age. Lately she likes to joke with me... usually it's about Gary needing to wear shoes when he goes outside. And then she'll look up at me and wait for me to laugh. But at the same time, she has kind of been reverting back to the terrible twos that I thought we were out of. One minute she is talking back and disobeying and the next minute, she's stroking my cheek telling me she loves me. She's definately the more complicated of the two. Ruby is as laid-back as ever. Although she is beginning to hold her ground when Natalie tries to take advantage of her sweetness. Ruby knows how to throw a fit but she gets over it so fast! She is so smiley and happy -as always! Thanks to my mom, she can sing the 'Yes, Jesus...' part of Jesus Loves Me. And Natalie can just about sing the whole song. And whenever we put any music on, Ruby is dancing all over the place. She especially loves pop rock/hip hop. It's the cutest thing!! Both of my girls are just a breath of fresh air to me even when the going gets tough! And baby #3 is making himself (or herself) known too. I can feel much more movement lately which is just as exciting as the first time I felt Natalie and Ruby move. It is such a miracle. Jordan and I are still content with not finding out the sex of this baby. We've hardly discussed baby names because some of our friends and family are pregnant and I don't want to pick a same name. So far, everything looks healthy with the baby and I take that so for granted. That is by far the most important thing.

And Jordan and I are as happy as can be (I hope I can say that on his behalf!) I feel so blessed to wake up with him every morning and greet him at the door every night. We have grown with each other so much these past 4 years. We never imagined that we'd have (almost) 3 babies by now and I can't wait to see what other blessings are to come in our marriage. We have been together for just about 7 years total now and they have been the best years of my life!! I am so blessed to have him as my husband!

....til death do us part....
