10 things about me
Just because: (in random order)
1. I love to clean. Chlorox wipes are one of my favorite things in the world! :) Having a clean house makes me feel at peace with my life.
2. I am super blessed. I have an amazing husband who spoils me rotten, 2 fabulous kids with one more on the way that we are totally pumped about, fabulous friends, a wonderful family, a great house that I love and for the most part great health.
3. I have to always have my toenails painted. Preferably red or french style if I get a pedicure.
4. I really don't enjoy talking on the phone and I am the WORST at returning phone calls. I have the best of intentions to, but I don't like having my kids around. So as a SAHM, I rarely have the quiet house that I would like to make calls.
5. I sleep with a $50 pillow that was worth every single penny!!!!!!!!!!! It's a special c shaped pregnancy pillow.
6. I read the newspaper every day. I have to know what is going on in the world.
7. I love almost all types of candy but I could take or leave chocolate.
8. I love Tetris!
9. I am very impatient, especially when it comes to driving. I regularly have to remind myself that there are children in the car.
10. Normally (when I'm not pregnant) I love to eat. But right now it is a chore and I really don't like that. As soon as I have the baby, I'll pig out like usual and not be able to lose my baby weight.

Not much to say
We are on the count down to the end of school. Addi only has 1 1/2 more days and Mason only has 6 days left. boo hoo! I had to go shopping today since it's the last time I'll be able to (by myself) for a while. It was worth it though because I totally scored at Ross. The in-fashion shirts right now are all long so that works out perfectly for my maternity needs. I really don't like the 
tent like maternity shirts, they are SOOOOOOOO unflattering. So I was totally pumped to find a bunch of inexpensive shirts that actually fit.

They turned out great (not trying to brag :) ) And the best part is that I will be doing family pictures for a lot of those kids' families. Next week I have 3 appointments already. Yeah! Ok, I have to admit, I am a bit nervous about it, but super excited too.
And to finish this post off, here are some goofy pictures of our two little goof balls!

Baby
Well, as some of you may know we found out that we are having a :
<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<
Boy!!!
We are so excited to welcome a new little guy into our family! Addi wasn't too happy though. When the US tech told us that the baby was a boy, she started crying. And just got louder and louder until Chris had to take her out of the room. She kept crying and shouting that she didn't like boys. When Chris told her that he was a boy, she said that he isn't a boy, he's her dad. :) She was upset for the next f
ew hours and stayed grouchy for the rest of the day. But the next day, she saw one of her little friends at school, who's mom recently had a baby boy, and said to her that she was having a little brother too. She told her school class and seems really happy now. I guess she's decided that it won't be so bad to not have to share her girlie toys and to be the only Princess besides me in the Schenk house! We still have a few months to decide on a name, thank goodness. We cannot agree on anything right now. Addi says his name is baby boy Schenk. Mason thinks he should be named Ben 10. Funny kids! Boys names are so hard. I hope we can come up with some thing masculine, not too trendy or popular but not weird either. So many rules!!

I have reached 4 months now. I'm about 19 weeks. I am (crossing fingers) feeling a tiny bit better. I still get sick occasionally, but it's not all the time, all day long now. I actually feel pretty good as long as I eat and get the rest I need. Naps are a must!!
We are getting the kids' rooms all ready for our new addition. Mason's room is about the only one in the house that I haven't painted since we moved in. Especially since he's going to have a roommate now, we are redoing it. I plan to paint it about the same color, just with better paint that I can wipe it clean rather than wipe it off. We are going to do a red and blue stripe all the way around the room. We got him a new bunk bed. We also have to get him a new chest of drawers since the baby is going to be using his dresser. Last year, I painted Addi's room pink using crappy paint so I'm going to repaint it and paint her furniture and move stuff around a bit. I know she would have a cow if we didn't do her room in addition to Mason's room. I will post some pictures when we get the rooms all done. If I have my way, it will be within the next few weeks!
