Blessed

I've got the birth story coming...it's coming I promise! but for now, I just want to remember how truly blessed I really am.  I got started with this little nighttime ritual before little Lena came along with Kyler--Nate and I would read a bedtime story, sing a song, and I would stay cuddling Kyler for 5 minutes before Nate would come in and say ok, Kyler it's bedtime...well anyways, for the first time since Lena was born I got to cuddle for "just 5 minutes" with both of my babies and I  now know the feeling of being truly blessed!  I cried and afterwards thanked God for giving me this time with my babies!  For now, I've got a hungry baby that I need to go feed before my chest explodes! HA!  I'll get around to writing the whole birth story (which was WAY different than the first time around) soon, I promise!  For now, I'm off to cuddle and soak in all these days while my little Lena is so small!  Goodnight!

Well I'm back...

I promised I'd be back with updates...so here I am! Still no baby yet, but I feel like she's getting close, or she could just be messing with me too...who knows. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow where my doc will check me to see if there is any progress and also to let me know when we're going in for induction. I'm still secretly hoping I have this little lady before then (like tomorrow or Friday) but we'll see I guess. My doctor said last week at my appointment that she'd try to schedule my induction and that she'd let me know this week at my appointment when that would be. I'll be 39 weeks on Sunday (mother's day) and wouldn't that be just the best gift EVER to have the baby on Mother's day? I think so.

So, not much going on...last week I had a couple times where I thought contractions were starting, but then they eventually died off. I'm on my second week off work right now just waiting on this little lady. Ky and I have kept busy...with doctor appointments for me, for him, and for the cats so maybe this little lady will come grace us with her presence this week and we can run to the doctor for HER next week. It's all in HIS timing and I really am trying to be patient and rest up cause I know it will all change when there are 2 to take care of. I'm just getting anxious to see her and who she looks like and what her personality will be like.

Let's see, oh yes my background change...I put rainbows on the background cause this little lady (provided she comes and the LORD willing) will be my rainbow baby! Nathan reminded me yet again today about rainbows when he came home from work with some VERY interesting flowers...3 rainbow roses and 2 blue orchids (I'll have to take pictures and post them later! they really are quite unusual and neat!).

 I guess I don't really have too much else to report...we took Kyler to downtown Holland tonight and walked and walked and walked...so maybe that will jump start something. Who knows. Just keep praying that I'll keep sane these last couple days. I do know the end is in sight seeing as how both my doc and the specialist told me they would NOT let me go past my due date with this one...I just really hope it doesn't come to that date with no baby yet and also that I don't have to have a c-section...but I guess that's in his hands too. I suppose I should probably pack my hospital bag and Kyler's overnight bag, but I'm also pretty tired...maybe I'll just head to bed and worry about the hospital bag tomorrow:) I'll be back again soon I'm sure to update about any progress or worries/fears or joys I may have...or who knows, MAYBE I'll be back VERY soon to update about our little lady! Goodnight blog world.

Rainbows

Just a quick post saying I'll be back later tonight to explain more on my background change...I thought it was pretty fitting! See ya all back later tonight. Gretchen, this update's for you!
