Well, I guess it's about time for an update. We don't have too much longer to wait for this little girl. I've been busy busy busy. My list of things to do is actually getting shorter, so that's good.
Physically, I'm struggling. I feel huge and I'm winded doing ANYTHING. I'm just slowing down. My ankles haven't made a full appearance in about 2 weeks. I'm just trying to take it easy, but still be productive and still take care of my babies. I'm realizing there are a lot of changes happening at the same time. My "babies" are starting school, and I'm HAVING a baby. It's still hard for me to comprehend that I'm actually pregnant (as silly as that sounds). I always wanted, but never imagined this happening. Our little family of four is expanding to five--all of these things make me sentimental and weepy. I'm also nervous about the c-section (major surgery), and staying overnight in a hospital. Aside from a few visits for stitches/broken limbs over the years, I haven't stayed overnight in the hospital since I was 3 and had my tonsils out--crazy! So, I've been trying to make arrangements for the boys while I'm in the hospital. My sister-in-law and my friend from Chicago are coming in after I come home from the hospital to help us along. Things should be okay, but I'm just nervous about the unknown.
The boys are super excited about the countdown to their first day of kindergarten. They've made a paper chain and get excited to take a ring off every day. I've gotten all of their school supplies, school clothes, and shoes. So we're ready physically, but I'm gonna cry. I guess you can't protect them from everything forever. We're going to get our school haircuts today.
