Life with Two

I love my life. Have I ever said that before? Life is real good on this end. I have a Lord and savior who died for my sins, so that I may have eternal life. I have a great husband who supports me staying at home with our 2 children. I have 2 beautiful and healthy children who are just wonderful. And that isn't even all the other things like a house, car, family, friends and just all that I am blessed with.
The other day while watching my son follow my husband around the yard "helping" him mow I was just overwhelmed at how much I am blessed. It is just great having my husband home right now and our children enjoying there dad. I am so thankful that he is an involved dad. I also have a son who loves his baby sister and wants to share and kiss and use her fingers to pick his nose. It is all so wonderful. Then I have this beautiful daughter who gained 1lb 2 oz in one week. Yep, she is up to 9lbs 7oz already. Which is good but also very sad. She is growing so fast. And it is hard to look at her and know it is going to go so fast and before I know it she will be 2. So, I focus on enjoying our time together in the here and now.

Our sweet little girl

So, on March 10, 2007 we welcomed Riley Leanne into the world. She has been such a blessing and is doing great. She is a great little one and we adore her. Brayden loves her too. It has been so nice. We are tired, okay I am tired. But doing great. So happy she arrived quickly and healthy. Although in her short 2 weeks in the world she has gotten pink eye and has a stuffed up nose. But if all of that is any indication of how she will be then we are blessed. She has been a trooper and happy through it all. Of course she doesn't like the medicine in her eye but other than that is a great little one. I can't say it enough, we are truly blessed.

Discouraged

So, today I went to the doctor and became very discuraged. They said that they won't induce me until 41 weeks. Everything is in postion but that it risks a c-section if done before then. But, since they are midwives and I know lots of people who haven't had that happen and I was induced 17 days early with Brayden and all was fine I think they are just full of it.
I am ready to have her out so I ended up in tears and my poor husband doesn't know what to do and I am just tired of waiting. Having all kinds of pain and yet nothing. I told Jim if we did change our minds and decide on another baby I am finding a doctor next time. I have just been sick of getting the run around from all the different midwives. If I call in one tells me one thing and then I ask one the next time and they say something different. So, my hope is gone. I will be pregnant forever.

Just waiting

So, today is one week from my due date. Nothing yet. I am just waiting. I have had different aches and pains but nothing exciting. It is so cute to watch my husband though. He is so excited. I just love it. Every night when we go to bed he asks if I think tonight is the night. I don't know about any of you but I forget what real contractions feel like. I am constantly guessing. Should I start timing or is that just a braxton-hicks? So, I have turned it over to God. Either my water will break or I will start being in really bad pain so I will know it is real. I am dialated so that is good. It is just exciting to know that anytime we will be meeting our little girl. But, I am praying that she could just hold out till Tuesday.
See, tomorrow is my nieces birthday. I don't have the best relationship with my husbands family (he doesn't either) and I just feel like it would be best if the girls didn't have to share a birthday. But, God knows best so we shall see.
