Happy birthday Anthony! That's right. Anthony is 29 today!
We were hoping that he'd get to share his birthday from now on... And we're not ruling it out... But after our "false alarm" last night and being sent home, I think we're starting to think she'll never come out! *sigh* Prodromal labor.
Here's hoping that Anthony still might have to share his birthday and if not, let's hope we can get her out soon!!
The Hunters
When I was woken up this morning at 7am, an hour earlier than I planned, I wasn't sure what to think. You'd think I was woken up by my jumping belly or heartburn or some other pregnancy related reason, but when it was my husband waking me up, I didn't know what to think. He had been awake for several hours, unable to get back to sleep due to his anxiety. This is a relatively new concept for him. Though we have one child already, this one is apparently very different. He has been pacing and worrying, not sure how to handle everything, partly due to the "waiting game". He can't decide if he wishes it would end sooner or wait until later.
So, after a morning like this, when he is finally able to relax and forget what's on his mind, at least for the most part, I smile.
I caught this little gem this afternoon. One of the first moments of quiet today. It made me giggle at how cute it is.
Thank heavens for quiet times.
Well, I guess the general concensus around here now is that we really need to start getting everything ready for the inevitable D-day. After Anthony's heart attack this weekend over nothing being ready, we started trying to organize, clean and put everything together that needs to be... But it has been slow going. We don't yet have even half of what we need to do done. We have begun working on getting our bedroom ready mostly... And I think our slow pace is starting to unnerve both of us.
We have also been slacking off a ton though! We have had plenty of time to get things done (well, more than we have) but we keep taking care of things that take us away from home or things that could definately wait... Case in point: a blessing dress. We ventured to DI Saturday to see if we could find a piece of furniture that would work as the bottom half of a kitchen hutch (we have a top half...) and while there, we found an adorable little blessing dress. It was kind of plain (not in a good way) and had a few ugly features that needed to be removed, but I figured that with a little creativity and a needle and thread, I could make it into something really cute. So, instead of packing a hospital bag or cleaning the house, as I should be doing, I have spent this morning fixing and changing a blessing dress that we won't even need for at least 2 months.
At least I'm happy with the results.
Dress: $3
Ribbon and bling: $4
Having an adorable blessing dress for our daughter: Priceless
Oh, and on the side, I am hoping to find a little white bonnet to go with it. If anyone sees one or knows how to make a simple one that I can "personalize" as well, let me know! :)
