35 Weeks and Counting Down....

Well any day now I guess. My earliest was Collin at 35 weeks. Jesse was 37 weeks and with lots of medical intervention Dominik wasn't delivered till 38 weeks. He was however my smallest, so I am going to try to suck it all up at home as long as I possibly can. I just don't think I am meant to have them in there full-term. All though, this little girl could totally surprise me. I think the name we are sticking with is Brooke Elivie Fivas. The middle being a mix of my dads and moms names. Eliserio and Vicki. I am super excited. I can't wait for her to come because things have been rough the last few months. Seems like even my daycare is falling on hard times with parents using grandparents because they can't afford it, or the couple that have straight lost their jobs...just not fun. But I am hoping by summer things pick up and get better. The holidays were good. We spent New Years with best friends and our kids. But will post more once baby is here. Hopefully with more exciting things to report! :-)

Baby @ 31 WEEKS


32 WEEKS

ITS A GIRL!!! Finally! YAY!! :)

So right now we are going with Brooke Elivie Fivas. Not Brooklynn. I am not a fan of that name for me. Even though it is highly popular right now, its just not for us. I think having three boys has put me in the mind set of boy names, because this is the most girly I have been able to settle on! ;) It started with Alex, then Jordyn, and then Taylor. But that's been over a lot of years of praying someday we would get this little girl. Austin is excited now that he is 100% sure she is a girl. He wasn't even wanting to go to the ultrasounds because he was nervous I would cry. The funny part was that I KNEW it would likely be a boy because that's what I am use to. I really was REALLY okay either way before we found out. And now, well...now I am very nervous. I am good at boys! :) I have three VERY amazing ones. And before I give a photo update I want to tell theirs! :) Jesse has completed his season of soccer this fall and he is doing so so well! He really is getting so much older, SO FAST! The first time I saw him get the ball with his head it hit me like a ton of bricks. They are just swarming around the ball praying for kicks at it anymore. And to watch Austin...oh man...if I am having a bad day, I just have to look at him on the side lines! He's so hilarious. Jesse is now in his very first season of basketball now. He's always wanted to play that, but it always overlapped with soccer so we waited till he thought he could handle both for a couple weeks. He is learning the game more and more and I cannot wait to see him grow with it. Collin is taking a break from baseball and is giving a karate a go. He gets to do it with a good friend of his next door, so that makes it fun for him. Even though he is a major homebody, he is starting to like going to that. Dominik is anxiously waiting to start flag football. And honestly, so are we. That kid needs to burn some energy and aggression on a field cause he's a crazy one. That is also what keep us entertained though, so you can't complain much. Well Halloween is almost here and I will have PLENTY of photos of that because its one of my fav.'s but this is baby Brookes photo moment. ;)

18 weeks. This is the most I have ever shown this soon!

She is a girl though, and that is coupled with a 4th baby. :)

18 weeks! She always has her hand up like that! :)

18 weeks, Austin loved this one because he got to see her

put her thumb in her mouth! :)
16 weeks, I think she is saying she is okay here. My brothers

say she's throwing up gang signs. ;)

Baby on Board!! :)

Well after almost 3 years in trying, we are expecting. :) We had a miscarriage in March, so we wanted to wait till it was safe to tell. We are sitting at 13 weeks so hopefully everything will go well. We have had a bumpy road for sure. I have been sicker with this one than I have ever been, but that could be because I am 5 years older since I had a baby! lol I also ended up having a lot of gallbladder issues so they had me undergo surgery a week ago. It was scary, but baby came out of it with a STRONG heart beat sitting at 170. We are so excited, and I don't know about Austin, but this being my fourth or not, I am still nervous...which might sound a little weird. I have some ultrasound pics and we will try to keep everyone updated here and on Facebook!

CHECK OUT MY BATTLE WOUNDS! lol

Lots going on around here...

These are some of my favorite summer pictures so far! I cannot believe summer is ALREADY almost over!! This year we are going to have a 4th grader and 2nd grader!! Holy crap, its crazy. They really do get SO big SO fast. Next month I will have some updates to report, but for now we are just loving life and having a great summer. Which we are so very thankful for.

We took an amazing trip to California to see Austins brother and wife and their awesome kids. It was a absolute blast. It sucks that they have to live so far away. We're hoping to at least make it out there once a year, its a beautiful place to visit, aaannnddd we saw Transformers!! AWESOME!! lol (Over 4th of July weekend)
