Thanks for being pumped with us!

Yesterday was SUCH a fantastic day, and I’m so thankful to you guys who anticipated the results with us!! We can now all be excited together šŸ˜€ Baby BOY is on his way, aiming for March 2nd.

I’m definitely anticipating that day. Not in the way that means I’m wishing the time away. I am one to do that kind of thing, but have made a point to STOP thinking that way since having my kids, and not wanting time to rush by anymore than it already does. There is so much going on before he arrives! Halloween is right around the corner, and guys, our kids are going to be unbelievably cute in their costumes! Trust me, you aaaaall want them to stop by. Also, we’ll have Christmas pretty soon after that, which I’m always excited for. We jumped the gun and put in the last few weeks of our weekly savings into our jar, so we can officially start getting the season set up and planned out. The next significant things on our list after that are in February, those being our anniversary, and the one year anniversary of Dekker having his surgery. Not my favorite thing to look forward to, but an occasion nonetheless. He has an appointment a few weeks after the actual date, and I’m very curious to see what the results will be, one year post-op. Thats going to be an interesting day actually. Both kids have simultaneous appointments, and they’re both getting those yucky stinging drops to dilate their eyes. *shivers* I will be 39 weeks pregnant on that day. And yes, my bags will be packed.

And SO soon after that, our baby will be due. And instead of saying I’m desperately looking forward to that time, my mind is full of questions. Of course I’m thrilled at the idea of having him in my arms, and I guess its too early to go into big details, but I’m nervous to make some of the decisions I’ll have to make. His birth will either be a VERY controlled occasion, or completely wild and uncontrolled like Laelas. Decisions, decisions. Anyway, lots to think about and luckily, still some time to come up with some answers and ideas. Might need some help, lol!

Brady woke up with a pretty wicked headache and couldn’t kick it for most of the day, so we relaxed and didn’t do too terribly much. We did laundry, and Brady napped in the afternoon while the kids napped. Tomorrow is a big day of church and our small group meeting, so we’ve got to be rested! Thankfully, tomorrow isn’t a day we lead music, so we don’t need to be there any earlier than the service starting. Please sleep in, kids!

Or third option, God surprises you and you have a wonderful, peaceful, healing birth experience that is spontaneous šŸ™‚
I’ll be praying for that. I am sorry Laela’s birth was so traumatic.
On another note, a boy! I am always wrong šŸ™‚

I would really appreciate that exact prayer! It seems like baby being born on his due date would be ideal, and would involve the least possible decisions on my part! Plus, he wouldn’t have as long to get so HUGE! lol!
