So here we are 5 days away from my scheduled c-section date. Getting nervous and excited all at the same time. I guess I was expecting to have her arrive early, just as her big brother did. I have actually been sleeping OK. Although my need to pee ALL the time is starting to get really annoying. The closer the scheduled day gets the more nervous I get. All the planning and everything is coming together. Which is something that I didn't have last time. So again a mix of so many emotions and questions all at the same time. Will I be in as much pain as I was last time? How will Darren react to her coming home? We have talked about it so much but does he really get it? Christmas, what on earth are we going to do for that this year? So much to think about but yet I don't really want to think about it, when it comes up I'll deal with it then.
However as the time grows closer to our family of three growing to a family of 4 I am starting to feel the need to spend more time with Darren, as soon my focus will be moved to her. I was actually lucky enough to spend the day with him and my niece Ella yesterday. We had a lot of fun! The kids were both very well behaved and took really good naps for me in the afternoon. Funny thing is I realized what it was like to have a little one around again and how much time mommy doesn't have for herself. It was good to get back to that mind set again, because I am pretty sure that I was in my Utopia that the transition would go perfect and smooth. HA reality check! But I have also come to the conclusion that it is what I make of it. If I think that things will go smooth don't stress about that small stuff than I think I will be able to hang on to my sanity. I also know that my house will not be perfectly clean, and its fine if it is a mess, because I know that it is only temporary(a year or so).
Anyway, yesterday when Ella left us for the day at about 3:30 Darren was playing some wii we decided to get bundled up and go play outside for a while. By that time we got outside it was about 4 and we decided to play outside until our Christmas lights came on. We were outside for almost an hour. But all the fresh air did all of us some good. I am sure you are all shocked to see that we played baseball outside in December, that is how much this kid loves that game. We also took his scooter around the neighborhood and looked at the Christmas lights. And there are not many up so we didn't see a lot. I took some pictures with my Christmas present, my awesome new camera. So Enjoy!
We are looking forward to sharing pictures of the new little one in the next week!
