Too much to do before going to the beach!!!!! AAHhhhhhhhh

So we are going to the beach on Friday night. I can't seem to get my "S**t" together. This is a busy week for me.

Tuesday: I have a job interview at 11 am. I over booked myself for lunch... Which means I need to let the people know that I won't be able to go to lunch because I'll be at my interview. (bad lunch planner) I'm glad my friend Lauren is coming over to watch the girls. I need to start my laundry. (I HATE DOING LAUNDRY)

Wednesday: One of the lady's that raised me is becoming an American citizen. We are going to the swearing in and a friends house for a little party. (stilling doing laundry)

Thursday: Lauren's birthday!! Since Lauren is coming down to watch the pickles on Tuesday. I will be heading up to MD to watch Tater while she gets a massage! (hopefully done with laundry and began packing)

Friday: Finish packing and get everything ready for the beach trip. We leave at 12 midnight. Due to arrive at my rents house at 8 am. (we like going over night because the kids are asleep)

Saturday: Hang out with my rents.. I get to see my nephew!!! Little Alex :) Oh and my brother and Sister in law. We hang out there and spend the night. Hanging out with Noni and Papa... (Emma is SO excited)

Sunday: VACATION BEGINS: We head to the beach house!!!! YAY!!!!! THE BEACH!!!!!!! I can't wait... It will be Abbster's "first" time at the beach. She was too little last year to remember the beach. Emma is ready to make a sand castle.

The Pickles

Gary - we met online back in 1998. He moved down here from Connecticut in 1999. He asked me to marry him at the Jefferson Memorial. Got married September 30, 2000. (love the year because we will always remember how many years we've been married) He's my best friend, partner in crime, loves to make me laugh and all around GREAT guy!

Emma - was born on March 20, 2003. She was 9 pounds 5 oz., 20 inches long. She was in the NICU for the first week of her life. She was showing signs of an infection. So, they decided to keep her there for a week. I felt like the worst mom ever. I know it wasn't my fault that she was in there, but I just felt helpless. She needed to be home with us. That week was the hardest week of my life. I wanted to leave the hospital with a baby.
Now she's a healthy, talkative, helpful, independent, and determined 6 year old.

Abby - was born on June 26, 2006. She was 7 pounds 8oz., 21 inches long. Her birth was completely "normal". I was scheduled for a C-Section. Of course, we decide to have her on the one day that floods DC and the doctor was late.. WAY late... She was suppose to be here at 8am... Didn't arrive until about 11:20 am. Needless to say Abbster was not happy.. She was hungry and cranky when she came out. It was funny because the nurse handed her to my husband. He didn't know what to do.. He was trying to comfort me and hold the baby at the same time. It was a totally different experience. The best thing was that my dad and mom got to see Abbster about 15 minutes after she was born. I know they will remember that for a long time. My dad still talks about that moment.

Lily - was born July 11, 2008. She was 6 pound 5 oz., 20 inches long. She was a little early. Her due date was on Gary's birthday August 1. I had been at work that day. My boss and co-workers took me out to lunch as a baby shower thing. We decided to walk the 5 blocks to the restaurant. I was good going there but on the way back I was experiencing some bad back labor. I decided to leave early. Came home called the doctor and they told me to come in. We had picked out the name but could decided on a middle name. So, when we went into the OR we had this discussion with the doctor and nurses. It was crazy. We knew we wanted to name her Lily but the middle name. I wanted Ann (my middle name) and Gary said if we did that, just call her Lillian. I'm like NO. She's not 75. Soon after that Lily was born 7/11/08 around 2 am. So, we decided on Lily Eva. (Eva from Gary's great grandma)

Tadeusz - was born June 10, 2009. He was 6 pounds 6 oz. 20 inches long. He was WAY early! He was definitely a HUGE surprise and blessing. Before we could think about having number 4, I was already pregnant with him. So, this was a totally different pregnancy from the beginning. I craved salty and spicy things. The day he was born, I was getting things ready for Abigail's 3rd birthday. Doing a little shopping. I met Gary for lunch. I noticed I was spotting a little bit in the morning. I didn't eat very much at lunch because I was SO uncomfortable. I finished my shopping and came home and was having come contractions. Gary called me to see how I was doing. I decided I should call the doctor because I was high risk and this was my 4 kid. So, they told me to come to the hospital. I called Gary and he came home. I had everything packed already. So, away we went. Still didn't have a name. Got to the hospital and I was having some contractions. The doctor decided we would go in and take him out. This was around 7 pm. Good thing Gary went to get something to eat. So, Tadeusz Joseph was born that night. Pretty quick actually. We called everyone around 9 pm. He was in the NICU for about a week. He was having some issues breathing at first.
