Week 30 is here.
It wasnt too long ago that we found out we were expecting our 4th little baby. I remember being so full of different emotions but, Thankfulness most of all.
I cried all the way to get the second test ... just thanking God for another baby.
In our 3o weeks we have had a few ups and downs, Dh loosing a job, getting a new one that isnt nearly comparable... an empty sac at our first ultrasound.. some *other* issues that frightened us... but, here we are 9 weeks from delivery.
All tests and pictures point to a healthy baby girl! What a blessing.
Yesterday Dh and I were driving, I told him some of the things I wanted to get accomplished here in the next few weeks. And I said "ya know, if Abigail is like Anna, we could have as little as 6 weeks left" the look on his face was soo sweet his mouth dropped "WOW I didnt realize"
He has been so busy that he told me that he hasnt been able to anticipate her arrival like the others... tho, I assured him that once we started prepping, he would start to get more excited...
until now, there is no proof that another bundle is comming aside from my very large belly. And while its real to me, as I can feel her wiggle and squirm, its just not the same for him...
Soon tho, we will have the crib up, the cradle put together, a new pack n play in the living room and baby stuff strolled about.. THEN it will be real :P He will have no choice but to think on it.
Well I can have as little as 6 weeks or as long as 9 .. whatever the Lord decides is fine with me.. but, regardless 6 or 9 its going to be a long wait... I have waited 6 years to see pink again.. to hold a newborn baby girl... that anticpation is just growing and growing as the days pass.
As far as how I am feeling, I got tired this weekend.. I am not sure if it was just a combo of a couple busy weeks in a row or if things are catching up. SO far, I had been pretty good at getting around and not being tired out easily.. this weekend however, I found myself scoping out places to rest my feet ... which are CRAZY swollen so that could be part of the problem as well.
I also took a nap today which I dont normally do.
I dont want to finish the school year, even tho I know I have to, I just dont wanna... "having" to do anything is just not appealing to me.
but, I will press on, I think that I am going to have her finish all her phonics and Math and save her reading to brush up on when the baby comes and we take our "Summer break" she will also have a little Math to do during this time but, at least she not forget it all during the summer right? and also get her out of mommys hair when the baby comes.. SHe will be the best big helper EVER... I am SO lucky and thankful BUT, I do believe that she will be TOO helpful at times and will forget that she is just a 6 year old little girl who needs to be a little girl. I already have this issue with her ... she is always trying to take care of me and while I am so thankful, I feel guitly at times like she shouldnt be worrying if I have a headache or not.. seems like what "pet shop" to play with should be her priority.... all in all tho, she is so lucky to be getting a real life baby doll and her excitement cant help but put a smile on your face.
OK, thats all for now... I have bored you all enough.
