I can't believe I forgot


Well, I can't believe I forgot to post a picture of my kids for Halloween. They were so cute and I tried really hard to get all the curls and make up just right (makeup on a 5 and 3 year old. That was never going to be perfect.) Damien was an Army man (costume bought by grandma) and I was going to camoflauge him but he is so dark it wouldn't have been worth it. He loved being an Army man. Kyra was Tinkerbell. As soon as she put on the costume she came to life and batted her eyelashes all over. (her costume was made by grandma.) Olivia was Cinderella. She got to wear her costume to school and was so excited. (costume also made by grandma.) They had a great time and JC and I have enjoyed sharing in their candy. It was fun to watch them get so excited. I can't imagine what Christmas is going to bring.

The Explosion

Well, we have has an explosion at the Holmes house. My belly has exploded to more than twice it's size in the past two weeks. I don't know what's going on here. I talked to my doctor yesterday and he said that was bound to happen since I didn't gain any weight at the beginning. I am now 20 weeks and going strong. JC and Olivia have both felt the baby and it get more and more real. I can't believe we are going to have 4 kids. I have almost filled up the Durango with children. I will post a picture soon of my expanding nature. We have decided on a name. She is going to be Bethany Ann Holmes. Time is flying and I can't wait to meet her. Other than that things have been going well. My birthday was simple and we didn't do much since we have no money but being with my kids and husband was the best present. I can't believe I am 26. I don't feel 26 and people still think I just graduated from high school. You wouldn't believe the looks I get when I take all the kids out and am pregnant. You know they are thinking "Hussey." I don't care though. It gives me a good laugh. Especially since Damien is black. :)

The baby is...

Well, for those of you who don't know, we found out the sex of our new little baby. We are having another baby girl. I thought for sure this one was a boy but we were pleasantly surprised to find another Holmes girl is on the way. We haven't thought of names. We had a boy named picked so now we are back to the drawing board. The really good news is she is healthy so far. They couldn't see anything out of the ordinary and all my blood work showed she is fine. We don't have to buy anything either so that is also good news. The kids got to be there for the ultrasound and were so excited to see the baby moving around. So, just wanted to share the good news. YEAH!!!
