8 more days.. in case anyone else is counting

I was going to wait until tomorrow to post something, because it is on an even week and I would be able to say 1 week to go but I am feeling in a blogger mood right now and I better take advantage. Is that right? A blogger mood? Maybe a blogging mood? Either way, here it is.

Eight more days until we go in after this little lady and bring her into the world. Not exactly how God planned birth to be but with my track record of c-sections it is the safest for myself and Kamryn. So we will enjoy the fact that we get to plan. Kind of... I think it is bad for me to have a date planned. I am very much a procrastinator and I will wait until next Monday to finalize everything. It's my nature to believe I always have more time. And right now I do. I have 8 more days. Eight more days to clean, pack, find sitters for the boys, finish shopping and decorating, go to the grocery store and deliver the rest of the candles that are coming in this week. That's plenty of time. Well, if I really break it down, I tend to have about 3 hours of energy and motivation a day so really I only have 24 hours to get all of that done. Oh well...I still have time.

So as far as the pregnancy, it is going good. Nothing really to report. Kamryn is measuring right on and her heartbeat is strong. She moves around a lot but doesn't keep me up at night. I have had a cold that I can't seem to shake for the past 2 weeks but I think the cough is finally tapering off. That has not been fun but I know the end is near so I am trying to enjoy it. We did have a false alarm that sent me to the hospital but everything was fine and I was just being paranoid. It did scare us all into getting a little more ready. I am enjoying by belly shelf. My bowl of Fruit Loops sits perfectly on my shelf as I shovel the tasty little loops into my mouth. Fruit Loops is my current obsession if you didn't already get that. And yesterday I started cleaning out the maternity clothes from my closet. I know, a little premature but by closet is throwing up clothes and I can barely get in there. Plus I am wearing sweats until I can fit into my old jeans, which I expect to be by Christmas. Ha!! A bit of high expectations, but that is my nature as well. I just want more of an excuse to stay in my sweats.

Well, I think I'm running out of things to ramble about. Hopefully I can post again before Miss Kamryn makes her appearance. I do have things to catch up on...like my big boy turning 5. Now that was a fun pirate party. Until next time...

5 weeks and counting

It is hard to find the motivation to sit down and write a blog post when nothing really is happening except for waiting and the busyness of everyday life. But I owe it to my faithful followers to write something.

I'm sorry this won't be very insightful or very interesting. I'm getting less and less sleep every night and more and more anxious everyday. And with that comes a lack of words. So I will just update you with information and pictures.

I guess it's been 3 weeks now since I've gone to my doctor and officially scheduled our c-section. December 20th at 7:30 am is "supposed" to be the day we finally meet Miss Kamryn. However, we have never been able to schedule anything with this whole pregnancy and I have a sneaky feeling the delivery won't be on schedule either.

T and F have put the nursery together and it is so cute. I can't wait to see little Kamryn in her crib and dressed in all of her cute little clothes.



I think I am having such a hard time finding something to write because all I want is to finally meet her and watch her parents holding her. I want to see this little miracle that has been moving and wiggling around for the past 8 months. I am really struggling with having patience because honestly, the birth part is my favorite part. It has been 4 years of heart break and anticipation for T and F and now we are only 5 weeks away. I really want to enjoy these last few weeks with Kamryn but what I want more is for her to be with her parents. I imagine in my mind what delivery day will be like and I know I'm not even close. God has orchestrated every part of this whole journey and I know delivery day will be just as miraculous when all of his plans finally come to fruition. What a day it will be. Who wouldn't be anxious for a day like that?

So, hopefully I can get a few more posts in before we deliver. I am getting things finished with my businesses and Bible study will be ending so I should find myself with a little more time. As for now...if you pray, please pray for the anxious hearts that surround this journey as we prepare for the birth. Pray for peace that the timing will be perfect and that everything will work out just as it has this last year leading up to this.

Until next time... here are the pictures of my ever increasing belly.
