Well, I've been off work since Monday, thinking that I would be holding Gage by now.....but Gage has other plans. I went to the Dr. again today for my weekly appt. I am scheduled for 7am on Friday for Gage's arrival. I'm almost half way there (seriously already!) , so the Dr. thought this would be a pretty fast one. (She also thought I would have had the baby over 2 weeks ago, so we'll see if her prediction is right). We're so ready, yet we're so not!! 3 kids, 3 & under, what have we signed up for?! I'm really anxious & nervous. I guess it's normal considering what has to "happen" for the baby to actually come out. Not a fan of labor....BIG fan of epidurals though. Thankfully my Dr. is as well, as she said I could check in & get the Epidural first if I would like,....hmmm.....YES! She said she wants to make this as painless & enjoyable as possible. I can't really say the whole birthing process was either of the two for me, but the outcome sure is beautiful. I can't wait to lay my eyes on this little kicker in me. I wonder if he too, will be a spitting image of his Daddy like McKenna & Zander are. Only 32 more hours before I can begin to find out. McKenna is all set to help with the baby, & Zander, well, he knows that there is something in my belly we call Gage, however; I highly doubt he has the slightest clue of what is to come. It will be interesting, especially since he is such a Mommy's boy & he will now have to "share" me. Until their world gets shaken a bit with a new baby brother in the house, they are having the time of their lives getting spoiled with attention by Nana (my mom is staying with me for the week) & enjoying the beautiful weather. Just yesterday they wanted to run through the sprinkler, so we put the swim suites on. It wasn't more than 2 min before I saw 2 naked buns running around the yard. Oh the joys of being young & carefree!
I will post another update once we are set up at the hospital. (at least that is my intention)
Say some prayers for this little soul's safe journey into this world.
