Macy

Well, she's flipped! Whew, what a relief! We had my 2nd ultrasound this morning to check if she was head down yet and she was. We couldn't find out any measurements because they have to be ordered by the doctor! I thought that was silly. We got to check her out in 3D but with the way she was lying, they weren't very good. But we got to see a side of her face lol and she has some chubby cheeks already! She's going to look like me, i know it, i know it, i know it haha. She had a little tiny smushed nose, so again, after me (sorry honey lmao you know it's true). It's just so nice to know that she's down so if i do go early, it'll all be okay in that area. I asked my doctor if my labor only lasts 2 hours again from start to finish can i still have an epidural. She laughed at me : ( I said maybe they could have it ready for me, so when i checked in at registration, that'd be the first thing and nope. Why do i have to take after my grandmother and have my kids in like 2 minutes? I should watch what i say though because maybe God will teach me a lesson and give me a 28 hour labor lol (zips mouth and throws away the key).

Anyways, just a quick update to say all is good in the Goossen household. Holla!!

Duluth

So, Kurt has been laid off for almost a week and it has been SO nice! Koi has really been enjoying the time with his daddy. It's starting to finally get nice outside so that's fantastic, exercise! Kurt's been cleaning up the yard, tearing down fence, and getting the place looking nice again. I'm going to be starting inside with the carpet cleaning, painting, and getting the kids' rooms ready. Did i say i'm doing Macy's room in Tinkerbell theme?
Kurt had been dealing with a very sore tooth for awhile. He got into the dentist on Tue. and they referred him to a specialist. He choose Duluth : ) So tue. afternoon when derrian got done with school we all packed up and headed to Duluth. We spent the night at ken and debbie's, ate KFC and sat back and relaxed. Wed. morning kurt went to his appointment (he has to go to grand rapids on the 1st to finish it) and we all got ready and hung out a little bit. Isabel was there too! When he got back, we all got in the van and headed to Wendy's...YUM! After that we had thought about the zoo but there really wasn't enough time, so we went down to the shores of Lake Superior. We searched for agates, which was really addicting actually! It was peacful, and so beautiful. When it came time to leave Derrian had a hard time, the kids really had a good time and love their grandma and grandpa dearly.
So now we're home again. I have been SO tired, this pregnancy is kicking my butt! I can't wait until it's over with, i have my beautiful baby girl, and my energy level back. I'm looking forward to walks in the sun and watching my kids play : )
So again, no pictures. I had thought i broke my mom's camera, and here i just didn't know how to work it. But i swear, i will get busy taking some pictures. My aunt Rhonda is over sea's and i know a little piece of family would be wonderful for her. Miss you! Only a few more months until you can hold your new God-daughter!

As for everyone else, i hope you're enjoying the changing weather and keeping yourselves busy and happy!

OOkay now.

Alright, here's the deal. I've done a considerable amount of thinking about this blog. My aunt Rhonda is over-sea's with the Navy and just has no way of connecting with us for updates on the boys. I've decided to continue with the blog for everyone's benefit.

However, there are a few things. I think sometimes it's easy to forget that this is my blog, i'm the narrator. That means, things are from my point of view, that does not make them wrong OR right. It's just me. A lot of the times i find a few minutes, sit down, write something out, or post a few pictures, then i'm off to do something else. It's not like i sit and think everything through. I'm sure some people make take things wrong at times because it's always hard to "read" emotion or "hear" somebody's tone from letters on a screen. This is certainly not my intention. I'm just giving quick updates.

On that note, i hope to get some pictures going again soon because these kids are growing like weeds. I've been taking Koi to McDonald's to play with other kids and he loves it. Plus he always wants to "eat" just like his momma :)

Kurt should be getting laid off pretty soon so i'm very much looking forward to spending some quality time as a family, it's been awhile since it's been longer than a day that he's been home. He'll have about a month off, then it will be back to work.

Tomorrow the boys and I are packing up and heading to Duluth for the night. It gets boring around here and we run out of things to do, so i figured what the heck, the drive isn't that bad and then they can see Grandpa and Grandma Goossen. We'll be coming home Sat. morning (before the freezing rain) so we can be here for Kurt's arrival for the night.

I hope everyone is doing well!
