Almost...almost (again).....

This post and the last are combined in that the pictures are a little

out of order...but the days intertwine as the pictures show....

Hanging on the bed...in just a short time, this will become our

baby perch (we just didn't know it).

Journal from June 27th..."It's such a strange in-between time waiting for

a baby to be birthed.  I have felt somewhat in a fog, My body is

so limited, I couldn't even walk from the beach to the parking

lot without stopping, because of being so tired and legs cramping.

My hands have not been my own due to swelling for weeks. 

I use head energy in the AM for school and feel like toast in

my brain in the afternoon heat.  A good quiet time and creating

meaning seems elusive in my brain right now.  I do feel good about

tasks we have completed and the bridal shower feels like the last duty.

Your body is just not your own and it is okay.

I do have a sense of surrender"

"I love my bed, my fan blowing cool air, my pillows, prayers,

my kids loving and talking about baby, and my husband who loves

and supports me.  I have felt cared for during this pregnancy."

Our bedroom will not look like this much

longer with two pallets and we make room for a new one.

Getting ready for the baby, bunk beds in Bobo's room for

Dev and Bobo to sleep in...they were so excited!

Helped host a wedding shower for a friend...hoping baby wouldn't come.

That belly!  I will saw the person closest to the camera always looks

the biggest.... 

Lisa has been a sweet friend for many years,

we are so happy for her and Bucky.

These two got a hold of my camera one morning, they are so

silly.  I think this is the day we had our baby.

Continuing their photo shoot....

"Coastie" made it in the photo shoot.

Then we took more baby shots...little did I know our baby would

be coming early the next morning.

 

These flowers were from my neighbor who said blue and pink

make purple....we await to find out.

 So today was  Drew's birthday, we laughed if

 our baby took Drew's birthday and made

it their own.  Drew changed his birthday once.  It was

a full day.  We had errands on the other side, a doctor

appointment, and Outback to celebrate Drew.

And a few hours after Outback....To be continued...
