New Addition(s)

No - no baby (yet). Frustrating to be on bed rest and stop labor meds only to still be pregnant two weeks before the due date! Life is funny! But a healthy baby and a short hospital stay are much appreciated.


Saturday the husband surprised our oldest with baby chicks and ducks - so far she has named one Eliza, Lucky and Penelope (still working on naming the rest).

I cannot believe how great she is with them at a mere three (almost four) years old. The two year old however, a terror. She loves them a little too much and the poor ducklings are likely to get their necks wrung because of her loving and how easy it is to get her little hand around them.

Now let's hope baby follows suit and decides to come soon so I can squeeze them. Big sister asks daily when baby is going to come out of mommy's belly. I'm not the only one excited to meet this new little person.

 

Almost Time ... I think!

This pregnancy has been anything but ordinary and here I am sitting at 36 weeks awaiting the arrival of our third baby. Any day I am told. I have been told this for the last month. You see, I am almost 6cm dilated and almost completely effaced. Yup - I am still pregnant. The waiting is killing me. I am grateful. Grateful to have made it this far, grateful everyday for a healthier baby. But I have severe anxiety of having the baby on the side of the road with my almost four and two year olds present and no one else. Of not making it to the hospital. Of knowing, is it time? Are these labor contractions? We now have a date they will break my water if baby hasn't arrived by, but it is longer than I have ever been pregnant. My first was born at 36 weeks, my second almost 38, I have to believe this baby will come sometime soon or in the words of my doctors - any day.

Disregard the messy bathroom selfie - I was at work!

In other news, I have a two year old and a three year old. Our sweet lucky charm turned TWO on St. Patrick's Day. We had a small celebration (since I never know when I am going to actually go into labor) and she had the best day ever!

Our oldest is so excited to become a big sister again and cannot wait to meet this baby. She has deemed it her baby - We cannot wait to see her thrive again as a big sister. She is the sweetest most caring girl and we are truly blessed she made us parents.

Both girls were there however the littlest wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with the Easter Bunny and the oldest, well I bribed her to stand beside him.

Now I am off the play Easter bunny and prepare the house for a new sweet baby! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a blessed Easter!
