Four Weeks Old

Before my friend knew I was pregnent with Josie, she told me I should at least have one baby when we have more money, so I can do the cute nursery and have all the cool gadgets. I have never cared much about that stuff, and knew that it wouldn't happen, (having lots of money to expend is years away) I couldn't wait that long to have my fourth. But like I said, it really didn't matter because I never really cared about that stuff. Well, I don't know what it is about Josie, maybe it's because she is my last, or maybe because she was born so early, or maybe it's because she is so cute(nope all my kids are cute), but I really wish I could have all those fun things for her.

Picture the nursery in Father of the Bride 2. Wow, that would be so awesome. but I might just settle for a room big enough to put my rocker, my crib and changing table in. I also wish I had one of those really cool slings to carry Josie in( my mom made me one, It works pretty well, but could use a little tweaking). I know it is silly, but I also wish I had one of those cute binky straps, instead of the old one I used with Micah that I bought at Wal-mart.

I could think of a million little things like that, I guess I am starting to understand why the youngest gets spoiled so much. Ultimately though, non of that will matter when she is grown. I know the best things I can give her are me and my time, and my love. and I do love her so much...so very, very much!

Josie turning four weeks is a little darkened by the shadow of my now gone parents. They will be missed very much and were appreciated beyond description. I have been told by numerous wonderful(jealous) sister-in-laws that I, myself am spoiled for getting my mother here for four weeks. I know I was, and I know it would have been different if we were living it Utah now. I thouroughly reaped the benefit of living away, being the youngest, and the only girl.

I know my parents will miss my kids,

but in no time at all, I know this will be Josie and Micah playing with my Dad in Utah. We can't wait!
