How are we feeling?
Tired, uncomfortable, and clumsy. I told my doctor that I feel like a switch went off two weeks ago and my pretty easy pregnancy has turned into this extremely crazy-weird super-agonizing month of child incubation. I just find myself slowing down a bit and not able to keep up with our lifestyle. On top of all that, I'm SUPER emotional. I've been thinking about my Dad and our Grandpa's lately, wishing that they could see us as parents just for one day. My favorite songs and movies bring tears to my eyes. Nick's unflinching love for his daughter and the prayers he prays over us, be still my heart! Mother's Day brought many tears as I thanked Papa-God for His mercy and grace in making me a mama to this little one. For so many years I would sit in church and silently weep through the pain of infertility, now I weep with joy and still pain for all those waiting for their prayers to be answered.

What's up with the bump?
Baby girl is still not cooperating when it comes to getting a good picture. Moving all around and has her hands continually up by her face. Our little mermaid is 4 pounds and 7 ounces. Her heartbeat is still the sweetest sound and watching her brain activity was probably the second best thing to see on that monitor. She is breech, but we have no worries as we are gearing up for a c-section anyways for medical reasons. I had to laugh when they measured her round little belly and what looks like a BIG head-already taking after daddy?
What crazy thing did we recently learn?
Well, we spent this last week at our hospital taking a breastfeeding class and an all day birth/parenting class. There was a lot to learn, a lot to read, and a lot of uncomfortable images flooding our minds. To say that we are overwhelmed with information is an understatement. We need a day off just to read through the materials, set up appointments, and talk to our insurance provider!
Subject I'm not ready to think about?
Washing all these adorable baby clothes, folding them, AND putting them away. 'Nuff said.
Big Daddy's Take:
Big Daddy couldn't be reached for comment this week as he is "very busy" preparing for his daughters arrival. In fact, he is currently painting a dresser and putting together her crib.
