well here we are on Sunday morning, the 3rd of October. I will be 39 weeks pregnant as of Wednesday morning. I go to the doctor tomorrow to see if she will admit me then or wait until Wednesday. I have had a rough night's sleep the past few nights. wide awake with contractions. blah. so ready for my sweet baby E to arrive. =)
in the mean time, I have been baking pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter cookies, double fudge brownies, and more... I have been nesting too. it has been a little hard this week however because my best friend lost her husband to a car accident. it was a very emotional time for all of us around here. considering he was my husbands really good friend, and his wife is my best friend. since birth. I have helped watch her girls (3 yrs. and 3 mths. old) alongside of taking care of my own 3 year old. so that has been intersting. but I wouldn't change any of it. I would do anything for her.
this week I am looking forward to going to the hospital and delivering the newest member of our family. =) ya know what? let's just make a list of the things I am excited about this month.
Bringing E into this world.
Coming home with E, big brother, and hubby.
Having visits from friends and family to our apartment.
Getting myself and E into a nice routine.
Wearing NON maternity clothes - AMEN!
Fall Pampered Chef party with friends from church.
Halloween - my oldes will be a Giraffe and E will wear an adorable onesie with owls, and ghosties on it, alongised a bib that says "Too Cute To Spook". lol.
Carving pumpkings with my children and husband.
Breathing in the crisp Autumn air. nuff said.

My sweet baby boy turned a week old on Wednesday. It is hard for me to believe that he will be two weeks old this Wednesday. *tear* He is doing so well. He is doing great at breast feeding, latches on and everything. He sleeps well through the night, waking up only twice for a feeding. (usually a 2:30 and a 6:30) He only fusses when he is hungry, and doesn't even fuss when he is wet or dirty. He is a very sweet boy with a cute little personality already. He makes the cutest facial expressions. I just love him so much. I adore every minute of being with him. Big brother is doing very well adjusting to our new routine and life with little brother. I am very proud of him. He could have taken this much worse. ha ha. The only thing that really irritates me is something that is to be expected...which is him being very loud when he shouldn't be. ha ha. Other than that he is doing beautifully. I have been staying busy chaning diapers, doing feedings, doing up loads and loads of laundry, folding loads and loads of laundry, washing dishes, cleaning, and trying to take care of myself at the same time. ha ha. It is definitely a challenge - but I am totally up for it. ;) This week I have a couple of appointments, so that will get me out of the apartment for a little while. But no other plans than to just love on my kiddos and spend time with my husband. Whom I love and adore so very much. He is helping out with everything more than I could have imagined. I am truly blessed. {thanks to everyone (including Jessie T.) for delivering meals to us this week, we have truly, truly appreciated it soooo much. I have loved not having to cook this past week.;)}
