Trying to look at the fun side of still being pregnant.

I took all the kids out to exchange some things, buy toaster and have lunch. It was kind of fun when people would see me in all my massive glory, 5 kids in tow and they would ask, "How much longer?"
"Oh I was due last Thursday." I would say and the looks on their faces! It was hilarious. It was like they thought I might explode right there. "Why are you even out?" they would ask.
Well gee, I can't exactly just sit around going nuts! And besides our toaster died this morning and we really NEED a toaster around here. On another positive note I had to exchange some baseball pants for the girls and the new ones were cheaper so we got $30 dollars back...enough for lunch for all of us at Chick-Fil-A.

Some more trivia for you because I was well...bored.

-Out of the last 10 years I have spent 198 weeks pregnant. That is 49 months.
- When this baby comes that is 6 babies in less than 10 years. eek!
- If you add in the time spent nursing it makes it 87 months pregnant or nursing in the last 10 years.
-By the time Bean is out of diapers I will have changed around...36000 diapers.

My midwife says that it's my calling and I think she's right because I have enjoyed every stage of it.

I have to laugh...

because so many of us thought Bean would be here by now! Feel free to go and amend your guesses or make a second (or third) one!

New update

No baby yet. My labor has started strong two nights in a row and then completely stopped. This Bean just isn't ready to come yet. LOL.
I am feeling fine with it and not minding that he/she isn't here because I can catch up on some sleep.

Update!

I have been in labor since early last night. It was a LONG night but I did manage to get a little rest. I am here at home laboring with my family around me so I am peaceful and happy. Everything seems to be picking up now so I am thinking we will have an announcement by tonight or tomorrow. :)

Who We Are

Lisa- The Blogger

This is me. I like to think I am complex and multi-faceted but I think much of the time I am a silly, zany, free-spirited person who really enjoys life. I like to make people happy, I like to be happy. I am a sanguine through and through. I love crafting, Pinterest, gathering ideas, computer stuff, watching movies, sleepovers and hugging on my offspring. I don't like internet haters who assume to 'know' me just by what they read here. There is a reason this is called 'Pieces' Of Us. It's just a small peek in the window. You may think you know, but you have no idea.
Mike- The Sportsman

Mike is more than just a sportsman but he does like to shoot a deer now and then. In his other spare moments which are few and far between he is taking college courses to finish his degree or tending to his pack as Cubmaster. He loves to spend time with the kids and they think he is pretty great even if he is a goofball who loves to embarrass them.
Madeline- The Free Spirited Bohemian One

This kid could be happy with just some books, a drawing pad and a pencil. She has an aptitude for art and has really excelled at drawing over the past year. She is patient and kind but has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Maddy is dependable, if you want something done, she's your girl and she does it with a cheerful spirit.
Gabriella- The Creative Ray of Light

Gabby has sparkle, she has pizzazz, she has talent. She is the kid you never have to tell to practice the piano instead you tell her to take a break. She loves to chat with her friends on the computer (what teen doesn't?) and write stories with her twin sister. She's a practical joker and has a terrific sense of humor. Did I mention she is also a talented actress as well?
AJ- The Deep Thinker

This boy is going places! AJ is always thinking. He is a true philosopher pondering the whys of everything but he is also an inventor/engineer also determining the hows. He spends hours building and taking things apart. We worry that he will one day blow up the house but for now he is pretty darn useful at optimizing our computers and rewiring things that break around here.
Genevieve Audrey- The Spunky One

Spunky doesn't even begin to describe it. She is a social butterfly and she loves to sit and chat as long as her victim will listen. Ginny is a tiny little thing but her spirit is huge and she's smart to boot. She is proving to be an excellent big sister and is teaching Jilly the ropes.
Caleb Allen- The Littlest Man

He doesn't like it when you run your fingers through his hair so we do it all the more. Caleb is just so cute and snuggly. He is always full of enthusiasm whether it be positive or negative. He either really loves something or he doesn't like it at all. We love him regardless.
Jillian Clementine- The Boss

She may be small but she makes up for it big time. Jillian likes to let people know who is in charge and we often have to take her down a peg... or five. She says funny things so often that she has her own blog Jillyish. She loves to use huge words like intrusive and incredible or any other adjective that shouldn't come out of a three year old. She will also tell you that she is too shy to say Hi but don't believe it because she is pure drama.
Jess..ica- She hiccups

She may not be blood but we claim her as one of us. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without her around. She makes us laugh and she can sing like a hamster. Everyone needs a friend with a hamster voice. Now she'll probably ask me to take this down but I'm not gonna. Because we love her.
