As I am adding these posts to the blog I am sitting in the scrapbook room with the ceiling fan rockin and an upright fan blowing directly on me. We decided to get one of our A/Cs upgraded (and duct work etc) because our side of the house stays above 80 in the afternoons...NOT FUN for those of us who are 24 months pregnant. Scott told me..."the only time we can get it done before Baby Mike is the Monday & Tuesday of THE week he will be here." NO WORRIES...we will sleep between the couch and Tyson's toddler bunk bed while this is being completed...i would say "you should have seen Scott sleeping on Tyson's toddler bunk bed...but since I traded him last night...it's not so funny anymore. Sleeping in it is comfortable...getting my HUGE body out of it in time to make it to the bathroom is NOT very pretty. WHY you may ask were we sleeping there Tuesday night? GREAT QUESTION!!! Because we are the Bartletts and it is NEVER a dull moment around here...so Monday..."it's all good" and then Trigger leaps up and runs to the pocket door...and I think "that's weird"....he is running around in circles...so now Tyson wants to see what's going on...Tyson slides the pocket door open (to the side with no AIR)...runs through the dining area into the Master Bedroom...and all I hear is "UH OH...MOMMA...UH OH!!!" when I finally make it there he is standing by one of the A/C guys pointing at the ceiling...The poor kid slipped in the attic and stepped through the Master Bedroom Ceiling..."UH OH MOMMA" is right!!! Important thing is...HE IS OK!!!...and Momma didnt go into LABOR!
SO TUESDAY! when I took Tyson to Mother's Day Out...I left my house with the AC crew in the attic (BLESS THEIR HEARTS)...and general contracting crew in the master bedroom (with no AC bless their hearts) patching the HOLE...and a check on the bar for the guy from Pest Control to "let himself in" for our 6 month "spraying." My hope was to get back from the hospital (blood work & surgical preregistration) in time to pick Tyson back up and let the "paint crew" in to paint the bedroom ceiling. (with NO A/C bless their hearts...They were in a little plastic bubble...THANK YOU FOR COVERING EVERYTHING!!!) Let's just say I had a few contractions yesterday just to "keep me on my toes."
Tyson woke up before Scott got out of the shower this morning so I had him help me on the "hot side of the house." Where I sit now...GEEZE LOUIS!!! We cleaned Baby Mike's cradle up and made the bed...(Poppa Mike built this beautiful cradle for Tyson...and I AM SO GLAD HE DID!!!)...then Tyson ran across to the cool side of the house (where I will be in a minute)...and brought back "his" Baby Mike...and the pictures and video are him showing me how to "rock the baby." PRECIOUS!!!
We are so excited to see Baby Mike. We will leave for the hospital in the morning...and c-section is scheduled for 12:30. We know our lives our gonna change...AGAIN...but we are SO excited.
One of the things that has been on my heart lately is how God ALWAYS continues to bless us. We are "holiday babies." Scott was born on Memorial Day (and tends to throw himself a BANG UP party every year lol) I was born on February 20th (I'm a Valentine Baby)...Momma passed away the day after Christmas...and then God blessed us with Tyson 11 years later...on December 2oth (He is our Christmas gift...and nothing could have made this time of year more precious for me) and now is a good time to remind those who need to know (SCOTT) That Tyson and I refuse to have Valentine & Christmas gifts combined with our birthdays...It's just wrong....ok back to holidays. Poppa Mike passed away on April 9th (the week of Easter) and now God blesses us exactly three months to the day with Baby Mike on July 9th...he is our little FireCracker...I have a feeling Daddy will make sure he has a "bang up party" every year as well. Hey, Baby Mike...atleast you don't get "combined" gifts for July 4th..."it's JUST WRONG!" For the sake of not crying HORMONALLY anymore like I am now...I just wanted to take a minute to share my heart. WE ARE SO BLESSED!!! we miss Poppa Mike & Momma SO MUCH...and there is nothing we wouldn't do to have them here with us right now to share in this exciting time of our lives...but GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!!! As my beautiful sister told me...Baby Mike is arriving with two special kissed one from "Momma Macaria" and one from "Poppa Mike." Don't think me, Scott, and Tyson won't be kissing that sweet face just as soon as we can.
So it's been a crazy week...and emotional & exciting...but we are here...and a lot of "big things are DONE!"...not the A/C but they are here today working as hard and as fast as they can. Rutty & Morris ROCKS!!!! And Scott and I can't wait to have our AC blow shaved ICE on us!!! WOOHOO
Dear Lord...help me be a good mom to BOYS!!!

we'll be praying for you a good night's sleep and for baby Mike's arrival tomorrow. I know you can't wait to see him and hear that sweet little cry. These past 2 weeks have been such a sweet time with my 2 boys and I know you're ready to get going with your's too! One thing we have learned...that whole "sleep when the baby sleeps" saying, it doesn't work to well with a 2 1/2 year old running around! We love you and are praying for you and baby Mike.
