Ok, people, this time tomorrow night, Dave & I (& our soon-to-be-occupied carseat) will head to Sky Ridge for the beginning phases of my induction!! FINALLY!!!! I have to say, I had a complete melt down last night & my attitude is not awesome as I am, to be honest, so completely SICK of being pregnant. THANK YOU GOD that I am getting to have this baby two weeks early-- the thought of even one more day makes me a little crazed. (sorry for the blunt honesty!!)
Mom, Dad & Mema arrived last night & we spent the day napping, putting finishing touches on the nursery & just saying things like: "This time next week he'll be 5 days old!", etc. :) Very fun. I am amazingly exhausted & feeling ALL of my age & then some, I can't wait to hold this little man in my arms!!! I am ready for a new set of struggles as everyone is quick to point out that things are just going to get harder. I really don't care as long as nausea is NOT a part of it! :)
Just so you know, we decided it is probably easiest for Dave to update facebook, which is hard for me-- as some of you know I detest the fact that I'm even ON facebook, but nonetheless, it is easy & so there you go. He will post on his page & mine when we welcome this sweet little baby-- & a pic, too, if possible. If not, I'll get some up asap when we get home-- which I hope is Weds. evening latest. So, knowing me, you shouldn't hold your breath, BUT as I will at long last have something happy & NOT complainy to put on this confounded blog, surely I will be motivated to do so quickly ;)
In closing, here are the promised pics. I tried to look as 'big' as possible, but Dave says, "you're just not big!"-- which is a bummer, but I'm sure in a few weeks I'll be thankful. Well, thankful or wishing I wasn't so big, which is equally annoying! :) I would like to say that I have done the two following things to make myself feel more glamorous & less frumpy: a new lip gloss purchase (it's the little things) AND, drum roll please, a new hair cut that (even more drum rolling!!!) I ACTUALLY LIKE!!! You're not getting to see it 'done', as I am about to shower & it is clearly pictured in a pony tail, but suffice it to say that I feel less boring & was channeling my inner Rachel McGuire when I decided to make the cut. Thank you, Rachel, for your insane amount of style :) You really should be in a Pantene commercial.
Thank you everyone else for your endless prayers, excitement & love during this eternal pregnancy!! I will be in touch!
You look adorable! I can't believe it Emily, the process to get this baby in your arms starts tonight! Yahoo. I don't care for Facebook either, but I for sure will log on tomorrow! :) God's richest blessings on the three of you! We love you and can't wait to meet your son!!!! Love you all! Mary Kay
