Oh, October.......how I have been waiting for you to come around! Even though I have been longing for October to come around...time seems to be flying by! Just realized my last post was in July! I have been busy with baby showers(so grateful and blessed for my family and friends) getting plans and my classroom ready for when I leave and getting the nursery and house ready for the baby! I like to make a checklist because it makes me feel really productive!!
1) Lesson plans ready for maternity leave teacher! (Check)
2) Baby Prep Classes! (Check)
3) Nursery! (Check)
4) Hospital bag packed! (Check)
5) Baby's bag packed! (Check)
6) JD's bag packed.........(Working on it)
7) Snack bag packed........(Working on it)
8) Getting huge, anxious, and so excited (CHECK)
I am now going to weekly appointments. At my last appointment blood pressure was good, baby was good and head down (please stay that way) 75% effaced and I haven't started dilating! I know these last weeks are important for the baby....so I'm telling myself the baby isn't ready....but I think in a couple weeks we will all be fine if this baby would like to enter the world at that time!
I can't stop thinking about a Halloween a couple of years ago...we were at my Grandma's party and she said, "Crystal, next Halloween you could have a baby here and we will just take care of it together." Of course that next year there was no baby but there could be this year! I know my Grandma is taking care of both of us now and that gives me reassurance that everything is going to be okay! Now praying this baby is here by Halloween...I have too many cute Halloween outfits for this baby to wear!!
Enjoying Each Moment and Continuing to Pray,
Crystal
