And then there was one...

We started out this great baby boom with three pregnant sisters.

We had lots of fun growing our babies and sharing this special time together. 

Even after Pretty Princess delivered our beautiful niece there were still two of us to share pregnancy.  This photo was taken after Rock Star and I enjoyed a pedicure and a tasty lunch at the Olive Garden. 

As time went on something hit me. 

I called Rock Star and said, "I just realized that when you have your baby I am going to be the only one who is big and uncomfortable." 

Rock Star's response, "I look forward to that day."

That day has come and gone.  Rock Star delivered my handsome nephew three weeks ago.

And then there was one...

One is the loneliest number...

Baby Bumps

Today we celebrated Pretty Princess and Romeo's sweet baby girl.  The little princess is due in January and we are all over the moon in love with her already.

We had so much fun planning and putting on this baby shower.  What an exciting time!  You should have seen all the pink.  It was like an ocean of pink!

We love you baby girl!

So...if you remember.  There are three pregnant sisters.  Rock Star is due in February with a baby boy and I (Farm Chick) am due in April.  We don't know yet if it is a boy or girl.

The only UNpregnant sister is DW.  She is perfectly happy to not be with child.  Here is the picture to prove it!

Here is the banter on facebook between the sisters in regards to this photo...

Rock Star: HAHA! The joke is on DW though because we all plan for her to babysit...a lot.
DW: Bring. It. On. The joke is back on you because I can send them home and sleep through the night! LOL
Rock Star:  I meant OVER-Night babysitting...Hee Hee.

Group discount?

Without realizing it, the three preggo sisters all scheduled OB appointments on the same day.  That wouldn't be all that interesting except for the fact that we all go to the same OB.

We asked our Dr. if there was a group rate? 

No such luck.

Hee Hee.

Four Sisters Play Date

Today was a good day. 

I spent it with these women. 

We don't all get together was much as we would like.  Life gets in the way. 

DW and Pretty Princess hadn't been to my new house yet so this play date was way overdue.

We drank some coffee and ate some tasty food. 

We talked and laughed.

We just enjoyed being together.

The kiddos had fun cousin time.  We were just missing Lou Lou.  She had her own commitments today.  We missed her sweet face.

The babies waited until everyone was done with lunch and then they joined forces.

They may be naughty but they sure are cute!

P.S. Grammy we hope you had a good day with your friend today but your presence will be mandatory at the next play date. :)

The Four Sisters

Sister Spa Day

Healing from a miscarriage takes time.

My heart is healing well.

My body is returning back to normal.

My life is moving forward.

My look, however, was going no where good. 

I had been neglecting all beauty routines for a while.  During pregnancy I was just too tired to deal with much.  It was more important to me to sleep and eat than it was to schedule pampering appointments.

After the miscarriage, I knew I would need a little make over to get back to life.  In fact, I had been thinking about how I could schedule several things.  (When you are a mom scheduling takes on a life of it's own.  You have to make sure your little blessings are well taken care of before you can run off for a little break).  I assumed it would take me all month long to get several things done.

Enter my fantastic Sisters...

Rock Star cleared my calendar on Monday.  She booked Grammy to watch the cowboys and told me what time to be at her place.  (Grammy, I am so grateful for you)

I was greeted with flowers from my sweet nephew.

And this card...

We went to our favorite Mexican restaraunt and met Pretty Princess there. 

Oh my stars...Lunch was so stinkin' good!

Next we headed to DW's house.

The house was so peaceful.

There was spa music playing and these beauties were on the table.

This verse was on the wall.  You can't help but have a happy heart when you read it.

Sweet Lou Lou had this picture and a necklace for me.

The sisters presented me with this card...

(in case you can't read it..."Sis, We've ordered this necklace for you!  It is engraved on the back with the words "remembered and loved".  We love you and celebrate the little ones that we will someday meet!  Love, Your Sisters")

I was determined not to cry during my fun spa day but I couldn't help but tear up when I read the card.

No time to be sappy.  We had to get to work. 

Rock Star started the party with some waxing.  I look peaceful here but believe me, waxing is not peaceful.  Good thing Rock Star is so good at it!  She made up for it though, by giving me a facial. 

Pretty Princess gave me a glorious manicure and pedicure.  My nails are amazing and my hands and feet are so soft!

DW colored, cut and styled my hair.  Good hair just makes a girl so happy!  Then Rock Star finished up my amazing spa experience by putting on my make up. 

Didn't they do a great job!  I felt like a whole new woman.  Being in their presence for a day was enough to lift my spirits.  Having them pamper me was such a blessing.  Good heavens I love these women!

As a perfect end to a perfect day, EJ met me for dinner with a dozen beautiful roses.   I love that man!

Sisters,

I regularly thank God for giving me each one of you.  When we were growing up, I took for granted just how incredible it was to be one of the four sisters.  I didn't realize the great gift we had been given.  Mom and Dad allows stressed how important our relationships were.  Turns out they were right.  Each of one you brings something so special into my life.  I have no words to tell you how much this day meant to me.  Each one of you gave up your time just to be with me, to love me, to serve me and to help me heal.  I will never forget it.  Thank you for loving me.  Thank you for being more than sisters to me.

You are each beautiful inside and out. 

I love you big time (or as Rock Star would say, "I love you like a fat kid loves cake!"),

Your Sis
