Feeling All over the PlAcE!

 I have put off posting the past couple of days because I just can't decide what to say! Mainly because my emotions are constantly doing a 180 on me. With good reason too, I am 37 weeks and 5 days along... which means that I will have a baby very very shortly.. probably sooner than I even realize!

And it makes me feel soo excited, but then I really start thinking about the logistics of it all and I start freaking out inside a little bit! (Alot a bit). THEN I start stressing about what I need to do and get accomplished. Then I realized what I have ready and start to calm down. Then I get happy and content. Then I feel so blessed and start crying. Then I think about the little boy about to join our family and I get excited and I start all over again.

If you don't believe me ask my husband, he will attest.

I think for now I will focus on the blessed feelings.. I really do feel so blessed lately. I just know so many wonderful people here in our nook of Orange County. I have the best girlfriends, just moved out of a stellar ward (bummer), and have the best work.

All of them have been so supportive of this pregnancy I just am amazed. My work has been so flexible and understanding of my handicap.. aka not picking up/moving patients. They even threw me a little baby shower at our last staff meeting. So cute of them.

My old, very much missed ward, held a shower for me as well.. and it was at Susie's house.. meaning it was beautiful just because her home is amazing!

delicous food..

wonderful company..

and adorable gifts!

Then my wonderful girlfriends mainly from the Optometry School had a little GNO in honor of the baby! Who doesn't love a night of no cooking, good food, and girl time! It was so fun to be with friends!

So you can see why I feel so blessed. Not to mention that pregnancy is going well, I can no longer sleep and every little movement hurts just a bit, but to me that is just a sign that its baby time!

Brandon is doing great in school and has been so supportive when he can be. He is usually very busy studying and at clinic, but doesn't complain about occasionally giving me a break and putting the kids to bed or doing the dishes. Those few breaks keep me going!

I just love my two little chicken nuggets at home. They are so fun.  Addison talks non-stop about the baby and what a good little mommy she is going to be. She asks 10,001 questions and is so interested in everything. I wish I had her curiosity and energy. Bryce is slowly starting to talk more and is just a little sweet heart. He can make Addison laugh so hard it is ridiculous. They are the cutest little buddies.

I have been so BleSsEd!! I am thrilled to meet this little boy, just hope all goes well. I am trying not to think about the week after the baby, that might be alot of 180s. ... I better stop.. I can feel my emotions turning already ;).. I am thinking too much..I will start stressing soon..
For now I will just remember my blessings. The rest is inevitable.
