Waiting Is The Hardest Part

Today...I am 38 weeks pregnant! Yay! I know pregnancy isn't permanent but sometimes it really feels like it is. I can't sleep and it is 4:50 am on a Friday morning. Maybe because I am anxious and excited as the day we get to meet Caden gets closer and closer! 10 days away to be exact. I have what I think is my last OB appointment at 8:30 this morning. Thanksgiving is less than a week away so I can't wait to see my family and have a great feast with them before baby's arrival. We got a Snuza baby monitor for Caden so that I may sleep a little when he gets here and we bought him a couple of Christmas presents....a Baby Einstein MP3 player and a Sleep Sheep sound machine. I, also, bought Mom and Josh's presents so that we have less to do later. The day after Thanksgiving, we get to put up the Christmas tree! I cannot wait to meet baby Caden finally! I pray all goes well with the delivery and that he is happy and healthy. And I pray that Brandon and I will be good and guiding parents for him. That's all I could ever ask for :)

25 days and counting...

I will be 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow! So blessed and happy to have made it to this point! I had another ultrasound at my last appointment to make sure Caden wasn't too big which it turned out that he was perfectly sized for this point and in the 90th percentile...whatever that means. I am so fortunate to say that this has been a smooth ride for the most part and I know how much of a blessing that is. Two of my dogs have gone to stay with my Mom for a while which makes me really sad but I am too far along to care for them and give them the attention they deserve right now. The house has been a lot quieter since they've been gone and it's depressing sometimes. I just try to concentrate on getting as much rest as possible right now though and getting mentally prepared for our son's arrival. Brandon and I have decided to not have Caden circumcised after doing extensive research on the issue. I believe that God is sending him the way He wants him to be and I could never put our newborn son through that kind of pain and torture. We have waited far too long for him and I really believe we are making the right decision. Brandon is working overtime whenever he can now along with doing dishes, laundry and cooking on the weekends so that I don't have to. Thank you Lord for my amazing husband and for my soon-to-be son! I am so humble and grateful.
