Well, yesterday morning I had my one hour glucose test and didn't pass. So on Friday I have to go and spend the whole morning at the doctor's taking the 3 hour test. I also am anemic, but not bad enough for iron pills just need to add more red meat. I am not liking red meat at this time in my life so it will be rather hard to make the adjustment. I pray I pass the test Friday because going the next 10 weeks without sugar could just about kill me.
I have been on a vacation from my boys for the past week. They have been with Nana and Papa since last Friday. Markus wasn't sure about what I was doing when I unloaded his car seat from my vehicle and put it in Nana's. He is doing fine though. I am missing him greatly though. They are having lots of fun and of course are getting spoiled. Nana and Papa are taking them to see their Aunt Rachel and the cousin's today and they will be home on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Corrisa and I have cleaned the house and washed the bedding. I was going to rearrange the dressers so that I could get Markus' stuff out of the baby dresser so I could get all gender neutral clothing out and ready for the new one, but Miles dresser is so packed with clothes that he needs to go through and see what doesn't fit. And I may as well put all of Gabe's jeans back in the tote to wait for Elijah to wear because Gabe only wants to wear jogging suits. I will leave a couple of pairs out in case we go somewhere where he needs to look nicer, but the rest I will put away.
I think that Mark's family will be celebrating Gabe and Markus' birthdays while they are at Mark's sister's house this weekend. I am sure they will enjoy that. Hopefully they don't get any toys. We have plenty of those.
Well, running out of things to write. I will update after my test on Friday. Hopefully I pass.

Wow!!
What a long time since I wrote last. I have been busy busy busy. Trying to finish up the school year in record time and so far right on track. We finished day 101 today and only have 48 more to go. I want to be done before the newest Sharp joins the family.
Only 13 more weeks to go. Seems like this pregnancy is flying by. I can't believe that I am already in the third trimester and in less then 4 weeks I will be in the single digits of weeks left. I have been feeling really good. I got some cream from the doctor for the rash. Still have the rash, but it seems to be feeling much better. If only my nipples would stop itching now. I don't dare put the cream on them. I have been tired a bit and my ligaments are starting to bug me more, but nothing I haven't been through before. My lower back aches a little more, but that is to be since I am getting bigger.
I have my school list for next year all done and am prepared for the home school conference in June and have the kids weeks at camp all picked out. I am prepared. Well, not for the baby, but for the older kids.
We have a busy summer coming up with vacations and camps and such. Corrisa has to get her classes for high school picked out still, but we will survive.
High school. That is a scary word. I don't know the first thing about registering a kid for high school. We are excited though. We ordered a new math book for Corrisa last week so we can get ahead of the game. She actually told me today that she is starting to like math. I never thought I would hear those words come out of her mouth. I guess I am doing something right.
We have been working on our mystery books for the home school teacher. We only have a couple of them left for the competition. We are going to be doing the science fair with the home school group here in March. We have a couple of ideas to do we just need to decide which ones we want to do.
Markus is getting big and eats like a horse. He is starting to talk a lot more. He thinks he is the boss. I think he has slept through the night for the past 4 nights that is nice. If only the dog would.
Elijah is doing well in school. We have a mom's day at school on Friday and we are doing the Valentine's party and then going to a local dance school to dance. Don't know how much dancing I will be doing, but I can go take pictures of him dancing.
Gabe is doing super in school. He is getting his work done in record time and seems to be having an easier time then Miles and Briley did with reading and math. You think he isn't paying attention, but when it comes to doing the work he doesn't have any problem getting it done.
Miles is doing good. For some reason we got behind in his math book so he will have to go until the end of May to finish them up.
Briley is doing good in public school with his dad. I saw him last week and he talked my ear off. He seems to like going to school and loves his wrestling. He says he is going to do football next year and wrestle. We shall see. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt.
Corrisa is doing good in school. She is getting all the work done and isn't complaining as much. She is excited to go to the high school next year. She just finished basketball and is missing it already. I am not because I was getting tired of dropping off and picking up from practice. Of course now with the 60 degree weather in February she could walk. She went skiing for the first time on Saturday and had a blast. She said she fell about 20 times, but can't wait to go again.
That is about all of the updates I have. Have a great rest of the week.

The big day
Well, not only was it my birthday and my own family didn't even tell me happy birthday, but I had my big ultrasound.
I have decided that I will keep the sex of the baby under wraps from all those I don't want to know until the babe arrives. The baby was healthy and active. Didn't want it's picture taken and snuggled way down in my uterus just like it's big brother did. Luckily the babe moved so she could get the measurements that were needed.
The due date was right with what I thought all along.
I had a nice relaxing day with the kiddos. Tomorrow is Elijah's Christmas program and then he is done with school until after the first of the year.
That is all there is for now. Hope everybody has a great holiday.
I will probably not be post after the first of the year until the baby is born because Mark is taking his laptop with him.

Update for week 12/07/08
Not much happening here. Corrisa is well into basketball now. She lost her first came and won her second. Her coach this year actually lets her play. That is a bonus. Last year she would play a minute and get taken out this year she is actually starting. The team she played last week had some big girls on it. There were 3 that were over 6 feet tall and another 3 that were almost 6 feet tall. All they had to do was reach a hand up to stop a shot. Our girls aren't even close to that height.
Briley is doing good at his dad's. He loves school and is making friends. He is doing wrestling again this year. The wrestling program in Boone is much more work then the one here. That doesn't surprise me. I went to school with some of his coaches. He will be coming here for a visit the day after Christmas until New Year's day. Miles can't wait.
Home schooling is going well for everybody else. We are getting done what needs to be done. Corrisa is actually starting to understand math. That is a good thing. I usually hear nothing but grumbling and today she actually said some of the problems were super easy. Miles is doing well with his reading. Gabe is just doing much better at listening. Today he even did his work by his self without me sitting right there beside him. That was impressive.
Elijah is doing good in preschool. He gets to bring birthday treats on Friday so that is the highlight of his week. He had the stomach flu on Sunday so he didn't go to school on Monday. He has a field trip tomorrow to tour houses in town. I think his teacher is nuts to take a bunch of preschoolers to fancy houses to see how they are decorated for Christmas, but she is the one calling the shots. Elijah has his Christmas program at school next Wednesday.
Corrisa had her winter concert last night. It was nice, but I miss the days of Christmas carols. Most of the songs sung reminded me of the forth of July not Christmas. She enjoyed herself though.
Markus is still a little trouble maker. He is wanting to go potty on the potty now. Not all the time, but when he catches somebody in the bathroom. He is still into everything. Loves to eat and loves to dance. I can't wait until he is actually saying real words not just Markus words. I understand what he wants most of the time, but it would still be nice to hear some words.
Mark will be home the 21st through the 1st. The kids will enjoy time with him. They loved the time they got to spend with him for Thanksgiving and that was only a weekend. We aren't planning on going anywhere so then we don't lose time as a family. We aren't exchanging gifts with anybody this year so I have an excuse not to have to spend time with family. My sister keeps me informed on what happens anyway so that helps keep me home. I hear enough complaining without actually being there. We have lots of board games to keep us busy and have good clean learning fun.
I have my doctor's appointment Monday and ultrasound Tuesday. The vote is 2 for a boy and 6 for a girl. Miles is going with me and we are the 2 for a boy. I guess you will all have to wait until then to find out. I may just keep it a surprise and not tell anybody until the babe arrives. I know if I am keeping a secret that I will not tell my sister because she can't keep one. I have had a sore ear for a couple of days. It isn't like an ear infection just a sore ear. It is swollen and hurts to touch. At first I thought it was a zit, but now I am not sure what is wrong. I put some Apple cider vinegar in it with cotton to see if that would help and will do that again tonight. I may have to break down and go to the doctor, but hopefully it will clear up on its own.
Well, that is all I have to tell. Enjoy the rest of the week. I will update sometime next week.

16 Weeks and Counting
Here are my 16 weeks belly shots. Sorry I look so disheveled, but I have been cleaning all day.So I have 16 weeks down and only 24 more to go. It seems like the fastest pregnancy so far. In four short weeks I will be half way done. I get to find out the sex of babe number 7 on my birthday.
What a birthday present.

Fireproof
I went to this movie yesterday afternoon with my church. If you haven't seen it it is a must see for all married couples. I am going to get the Bible study to go along with it when I get the cash. If you haven't seen the other movies made by this church they are also must see movies. We own Facing the Giants and have seen Flywheel both are incredible.
Fireproof was just as good if not better then the other two. Made me cry about half a dozen times. I enjoyed it greatly and hope that you will all take the time to go on a date with your spouse and watch it together. Of course being Mark is not in my state I did go by myself and sat with another married woman from my church whose husband didn't go and a widow. We all enjoyed the movie.
I would love to hear from you if you have seen it.
Have a great week.

This Week
Well, I have be hitting the gym regularly for a couple of weeks now. Been lifting weights and using the track and machines. Corrisa has been asking me to go with her to gain some strength and lose some weight so I am going.
Corrisa started basketball Monday so she is getting twice the workout on some days. She says this years coach is much tougher then last years. Last year she had two females and this year she has a young male coach. She enjoys it though.
Markus is starting his naughtiness training this week. We are hitting the terrible twos quite early again. He is still precious though. Doesn't talk a whole lot, but does jabber a bunch of nonsense and loves to sing and dance. He loves to climb and give me heart attaches and such too.
School is going well this week. Everybody is doing what they are supposed to. Gabe is doing well at concentrating.
Briley will be going to live with his dad this weekend. He will be starting public school on Monday. He has mixed emotions about leaving his mama, but I think he will do just fine. His dad loves him and wants some time with him too before he gets too old. Mom will miss him too of course. It wasn't an easy decision to come to, but sometimes you have to do hard things as a mom. He will still be coming back for weekends every other month so it isn't like he is gone forever. Miles isn't handling it too well, but he is going to miss his best friend and big brother.
Elijah is doing well in preschool. He loves to go and learn. He loves to draw. That is his big passion right now. His latest drawings are of a man with a bow and quiver full of arrows. How cute is that. I am saving them for Mark when he comes home for Thanksgiving. Hopefully he will be a man with a full quiver.
I am doing well. Lonely, but well. Don't have phone service this week so I don't get to talk to Mark, but I will live. Hitting the gym helps out some. Went to the doctor on Monday. All is well on the home front. I guess I can't that for sure until all my results come back, but sure all is well.
Well that's about it for this weeks post. I will write again next week. Have a great week.
