Baby Update

Well it's finally here...baby Valletta #3 is almost here but not yet. Tuesday night I had contractions all night and although they have dwindled down in increments I am surely progressing. My Dr on Wednesday said she would be shocked if I made it through the weekend.

I would appreciate all of your prayers for a healthy and quick delivery. As I did with my other two, I plan to deliver without epidural so it does get cumbersome and tiring but I am hoping this one will be a bit shorter than Kaden. Kaden was 6 hours which was 3 hours shorter than Aria so that would be nice to get this one down to 3 hours:-)

Next post will be of our new son!!! I can't wait.

Spring has sprung here in Virginia...ahhh I love all the colors that Spring brings. Last weekend Aria went to a neighbors' house for a birthday party and the party favor was a bag of Zinnia seeds. I have never heard of them before but of course afterward I had to do my homework. I like them! So one beautiful Saturday afternoon I had Aria and her friend out in the front yard planting the seeds. We must of had about 50 of them, and all of them we planted! I like them so much I think we will buy some more seeds. They seem to be doing well in our soil. For now here is what we have thus far after about a week in the ground.



Here is what the end result should look like....We can't wait to see!


Here is one sprouting up. Like I said we planted about 50 seeds....so if they all make it we should have an abundance of pink flowers!



Here are some more. So neat to grow something from the seed...normally I just spend a few extra dollars and get them already grown but heck if our soil is this good then I love saving some money and it's more fun this way for the kids!
