Baby

As you know I'm preggers with baby number 2. The due date is March 26th, which is Kyle's first birthday. The doctor has said that baby girl is coming early, and yesterday she actually said, "any day now". Any day now. ANY freakin' day now! We wanted her to come March 18th, because its my great grandma's birthday, but then we thought how cute it would be to be born March 14th, because she'd be born the day after her daddy's birthday, but the day before her grandpa's. All of these dates miss Kyle's birthday, which is what we are hoping for.

I spent the whole evening Tuesday in Emma's room cleaning and making sure things were in order. Its not quite where it should be yet, but its almost ready. I feel so prepared, yet so unprepared this time around. With Kyle I had the hospital bag packed for about a month, the car seat in the car and ready to go, and gosh, basically everything was ready. My mom did the rest while we were in the hospital, and my dad finished Kyle's room. Even though we didn't build Emma's room, its painted, the crib is set (besides the mattress!) her clothes are in the dresser and closet, the floor is clean (but I'm sure I'll vacuum at least one more time) and I even have her "home bound" outfit ready. But there is just something about it that makes me feel so unprepared.

Tuesday night I couldn't sleep. I had the worst pain in my back and lower abdomen, I couldn't move without literally lifting myself to a sitting position, repositioning, and laying back down. Needless to say, i didn't really sleep that night. Unfortunately, the pain i was feeling was no where near contractions, just aches and pains probably from bending and moving so much in Emma's room. And there are still no signs (on the outside) that she is going to be here sooner rather than later. That's a mixed blessing. 

We have another dr's appointment in a week and hopefully we will find out more, GOOD news, in the way of progression, because as much as I don't want to have TWO babies around, I don't want to be preggers even MORE!

Anyway, enough of unborn baby chatter, and onto my sweet little boy. He is going to be 11 months old tomorrow! I can't believe we have had him for almost a year now, and he just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter each day. :o) He's running around the house now, starting to say "oh" and making new letter sounds. I can't figure out if he is trying to say "yes" or "ess" but either way, he says it with a lisp. I hope that doesn't stick, but for now its super cute! No, I have nothing against people with a lisp, I have some great friends with lisps! I just don't want Kyle to have one of his own :o) He definitely has a mind of his own, and he likes to "show his strength". I'll try to get a pic of that to post sometime.

Kyle recently had an ear infection caused by 6 teeth trying to pop through all at once, ouch! He is doing much better now though and he is back to his usual stinker self! I love my baby boy.

I am so blessed.
