I think I am ready to go. We are hopefully over the sickness at our house. The hospital called this afternoon and I am on the schedule...think of me while eating your lunch tomorrow because that is about the time our new little girl will arrive.
Today has been an absolute day of rest at our house. The kids and I have done nothing but watch movies and play. I was lucky to take a long nap this afternoon which was nice. The cameras are all charged and I start my c-section fast at 10:00 tonight. Nothing like going to hospital on an empty stomach...but hey, I do what I am told!
So, the next post that you see will be of our beautiful baby girl. Wish me luck, I am thinking I will need it!
5 days left and we have INFLUENZA...
So I only have 5 days left. I have been waiting for 9 months to say that I am at the end of this pregnancy. I am FINALLY there and now I wish that I had another week. Why? I took Nick to the doctor today and he was diagnosed with Influenza A and they swabbed him for the Swine Flu. They don't think the Swine Flu test will come back positive but are running it to be safe considering we have a new baby coming home next week. Seriously! We have been healthy all winter and spring with the exception of an occasional cold or ear infection. Why, of all the weeks we have to get REALLY sick, does it have to be 5 STINKING DAYS BEFORE I DELIVER A BABY. Oh well. The best medicine is laughter so I will laugh about it, move on with my week, and sanitize like crazy in hopes that the rest of us don't get it. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers!
Check List...
I remember telling a first time mom not too long ago to "enjoy her sleep and let the list wait until after the baby comes". Funny that I am completely ignoring my own advice and have a list a mile long of all that MUST be accomplished in the next week. Crazy to think that in just 10 days we will be meeting our baby girl. To say that I can't hardly wait is an understatement...I just want her in my arms and healthy - then I can breathe a major sigh or relief...even if it only lasts for a moment!
Thanks to my best friend Darci, the nursery is complete and Kylee's room has been transformed. It would have never happened without her willingness to give up a few afternoons and one late night...in her own words, Darci is a "rock star". So, the tasks on my list of priorities for the next week include the following:
Weed front and back
Clean laundry room
Organize bathroom drawers
Clean out Kylee's closet and dresser
Hang curtains in my room and the boys room
Hang pictures on boys walls
Get hair done
Pedicure
Pack hospital bag
Pack my hubby for Trek (he leaves a few days after the baby comes)
Get car cleaned
The basic house cleaning will be done next Saturday after my boys return from the Father's & Son's campout...then I will spend Sunday relaxing and will report Monday morning for my c-section. I have been waiting 9 months to accomplish this final list and cannot believe the time has come. Wish me luck!

Officially Official...
JUNE 8th. C-Day. The day we get to meet our newest addition. I have been hoping that this would be the day for my scheduled c-section but the Doctor would not confirm anything until we were a bit closer. Yesterday we called the hospital and I am officially on the schedule. It makes it all feel a bit more real and I cannot tell you how ready I am for the next few weeks to fly by. I am measuring on the small side so he ALMOST made me wait a few more days but with a bit of begging and a few signs of tears he agreed that this would be my day. More good news...one of my favorite Doctors is scheduled for surgeries that day which makes it seem even more perfect! Less than THREE weeks! Yipee!!!!!
8 years...
I will not make you all suffer as I profess my love for my dear hubby, but I did want to wish him a Happy Anniversary! (yesterday) We celebrated with meetings, church, more meetings, a nap, and a picnic with the kiddos up AF Canyon. I guess when your Anniversary falls on a Sunday and you are 9 months pregnant that is what you get! I do feel like a mighty lucky lady!
Let the FUN begin...
Kylee came home today with a big suprise...she lost one of her BIG front teeth. Both of her front teeth have been loose for a few weeks but I have been trying to save them from falling out until the baby arrives so we have teeth for pictures...guess that didn't work! She went to school and showed her teacher that she had a loose tooth. Her teacher told her that if she pushed it, and wiggled it, and twisted it - it would come out. Kylee took the challenge and it was out in no time. I guess we will have to take pictures with my darling toothless Kylee!
On a side note, the tooth fairy did not have to visit Kylee. She insisted that no money or toys be left because the tooth fairy was not allowed to visit our house. I guess having a fearful child might save us a bit of money when it comes to loosing teeth!
