Baby Update

Well, it's just after 4 am and I have been awake since 2 am. I've done some reading but I was having to sit too still and my hips were hurting so I decided to give my blog a makeover...how fun! Now that I'm done with that, I thought I might actually blog, seeing how it has been 2 weeks since I have! Instead of blogging more pictures of our sweet kids, I thought I would share some thoughts and updates about our soon to be here Baby Sam.

I am 35 weeks pregnant and we do have the c-section scheduled for March 20 (the first day of Spring and the day before my mom's birthday...a great day!) but I will be perfectly happy if he decides to come sooner. Yes, I am still working and yes, I am totally worn out. I absolutely don't want to complain though because I feel very blessed to be carrying another healthy baby boy and to have another healthy pregnancy, thus far. I would have loved to have gone out on early maternity leave as I am in pain and very uncomfortable after being on my feet everyday, all day long. However, I am so healthy that I just couldn't get a doctor's note because there is no medical reason...and I don't want the high blood pressure, etc. that goes along with bed rest so I am counting my blesssings!! (I would like to say that being 8 months pregnant and this being my 3rd pregnancy is a medical reason to me...but that is just me!) Anyways, I only have 4 weeks left and I know I can make it! I have started having contractions...just mild, not consistent ones but they do make me very uncomfortable and some have been intense. I had them all through the day yesterday at school and that was not fun at all! I am not sleeping right now because I can't get comfortable and when I do get comfortable, I usually then feel a contraction. I'm just to the point where I know this is just part of it and I know it is all worth it but I'm just ready to get this show on the road! Wait, am I really ready though? Not really! I have a lot of baby laundry to do, the baby room isn't done, and I haven't packed a hospital bag yet...this is definitely my 3rd pregnancy! When am I supposed to find the time to do it?? Oh well, it will get done...at least I hope! Oh...we still haven't come up with his full name yet. Yes, his name is going to be Sam but he still doesn't have a middle name to go with his sweet first name. David said the other day that we are going to let the family vote on Sunday at Addie's birthday party. (Yes, Addie is turning 3 on Sunday...my little girl is going to be 3...oh my!!!!) I think this is a great idea seeing as how we are having no luck. We have some ideas so I think we are going to give 3 choices and see what the majority rules unless we decide on our own before Sunday.

Anyways...I guess I should end this post now. I really just meant for it to be a little update but I think I might have vented more than anything. Oh well...I really am so excited to meet Baby Sam...we all are for that matter, the kids especially. Logan and I were talking about Easter the other day and I told him that Sam was going to be here for Easter and he would be able to go see the Easter bunny with us. Logan's face just lit up and he just stared at me for a few long seconds! It was priceless! He told me he was going to ask the Easter Bunny to bring Sam a firetruck he could chew on...funny stuff!! And then there is Addie who is still the princess. She is totally convinced that she has Baby Sam in her tummy as well. We have to be very careful around her tummy because she is very protective and will be sure to let us know if we have hurt her Baby Sam.

Ok...it is time I stop my rambling. Please check back soon as I will update as anything changes with Baby Sam but I will also post pictures of the birthday girl and her big weekend!!
