The Big Day is coming up Soon!

Well today is April 25th (I still can't believe how quickly time has gone by). We've got about a month left and things all around are busy. School has been busy with the normal end of the school year stuff. Seniors starting to freak out about "the rest of their lives", other students realizing that there are only a couple weeks left in school. With all the excitement of Spring filling the halls, it's hard for me to concentrate on things at work. Normally I do pretty good through the end of the school year but this year is quite different. I keep thinking about the fact that in a month we're gonna have a little boy keeping us up at night. A little boy that poops terrible poops, and pees right as we take the diaper off. and I can't wait for all of it. Griff is getting excited even though he's not quite sure how to feel about it. Tyler is pretty funny because he asks questions that seem second nature to me from being around Zoe and Ben. I can't wait to see him with a newborn since he has no experience.

We had a doctors appointment on Friday and we talked about our birthing options and what to expect over the next couple weeks. We have an appointment in two more weeks, and then we're on to the once a week appointment until little Baby Thomas comes. We can't wait, and the excitement around our house is an awesome feeling! We got the crib, the rocking chair, and everything organized. Although I'm sure once the nesting fits hit I'll fold and refold the baby's clothes, reorganize things a million more times before the kid comes. I found myself the other day just sitting in the rocking chair staring at the crib trying to imagine what it will be like to have such a little person needing me so desperately. Being a parent changes you for sure, and has changed the way I look at life knowing that there is a little person inside of me that some day will be my age, going through life experiences as I watch on.

Almost 34 Weeks

Man has time flown by since October when we found out we were pregnant. I am almost 34 weeks along (which means we're getting closer!!). We have been seeing the doctor every two weeks and have begun the discussion of having an elective c-section. We are going back and forth on doing this instead of the whole natural birthing process. We have an appointment with Dr. Holland to discuss the pros and cons and look at getting the facts before we make a decision. I am still feeling really healthy and am truly blessed to have had such a simple pregnancy so far. Here's hoping that our baby boy is just as easy to manage! He likes to get really active and kick the heck out of me right around bed time and stays pretty active through the nights (or maybe it's just because that's the time of day that I'm actually not busy with work and life. We have decided on a name and I'm pretty excited about it. I think it will be a good strong name. We've moved into our new house and the baby's room is slowly coming together. We have all the clothes washed and the nursery is slowing coming together. We need the glider and the crib and I think we'll be as ready as we could ever be, since there is no real way of being prepared to have such an amazing thing join our family.
