new nephew!

So this week my sister Mysti was scheduled to have her baby on Wednesday the 13th. So my mom and I went up on the 12th to stay with her other two kids Alexandra (9) and Brynn(7). Mysti was scheduled to go into the hospital at 5:30 am to be induced. She went into labor herself at 4am. So they went off to the hospital and we got up with the girls at 6 am to get them ready for school. When we were getting into the car Alexandra pointed to their orange male cat and said " we had to get his bubbles cut off cause he was being mean and wouldn't stay home, but now he is nice and he stays right here" lol On the way to school, because we weren't sure how long it would take my mother was driving a a pretty good pace and the car was bouncing all over the place and Alexandra said " Nana! You're like a rocket! you drive way faster than my mom" which is hilarious that grandma drives faster than mom hahaha.
So Mysti delivered Joshua Cole at 10:20 that morning 7 pounds 8 ounces 20 inches long. He looks like his paternal grandmother Cindy to me. And on kid number 3 Mysti popped out a dark headed kid. Where Alexandra got that pretty red hair from i dont know. Then we went and checked Alexandra and Brynn out of school at 12 and took them up to the hospital. They got to see their brother get his first bath and Alexandra exclaimed to her mom " MOM! Joshua Cole has bubbles AND a wee wee! Together!" lol you can tell these kids havent been around many boy children.
So after Elise saw her new cousin she is excited about her brother and patts my tummy and says " mommy, da brober is sweepin in der!' and brings me pacifiers for him and says " mommy is a paci for da brober" lol Also the other day my mom told me that my brother was due on the same day this kid is and he came in august! So maybe there is hope for me! I hope.

Wow its been a while

Ok I know it has been a while but today is a big day. Mothers day! I already wrote a letter to my mom which I think she enjoyed but let me tell you if you dont know already. When you have a kid your mom is like the smartest person you know. Seriously I dont know how people do it when their mom isnt right up the road. and it is a good thing that my mom has both a boy and girl cause I found out friday that this baby im supposed to be having in early September ( keep your fingers crossed for august) is going to be a boy! yes very exciting for everyone. Elise is not a happy camper she wanted a "stister" but I think a brother will be good for her. I didnt start liking my brother till he was about 10 though. Before that he annoyed the mess out of me. At least I will be able to sympathize with her and I know what she is going through since I had my own annoying little brother, but now he is one of my favorite people! And I get to talk to him today and tell him on the phone that I am having a boy! What a fun mothers day present for me!
So this little boy will be Gabriel Joshua Griffith. And I know nothing about little boys so anybody want to give me any tips I am very eager and willing to hear them. Although last time I asked for tips on little boys I was told to "potty train him outside!" So I read that right before bed and had nightmares of my toddler son spraying pee all over the bathroom while I attempted to point him in the right direction. I think I might let Josh do that. Anyway. I know this is incredibly random but im a little distracted Nathan is to be calling any minute!!!!! So i have to go now!
