Oh baby girl....it would be SO NICE if you would at least drop a little bit so that mommy can breathe if you are going to stay in there til the very end! I am really struggling for air this week and I haven't had the best attitude about it. I can tell she is bigger and I guess she is just smooshing every organ that's in her way. According to MY timeline, she should be coming out pretty soon, and I know God trusts my timing, so any day now! ;)
All joking aside, I know I am being a wuss, but I didn't have problems breathing when I was pregnant with Walker so it's wearing me out!! I am almost 38 weeks now, and as long as my cervix gets ready, Dr. Everson is going to induce me on the 19th (two weeks from today!) if Keatyn hasn't decided to come on her own by then. I would really love for my water to break and me to go into labor on my own so that I can experience it, but I do have to admit that it makes it alot easier on family traveling and me planning if we get to know for sure the day she is coming! Why do we (humans) have such a strong need for control?!?! I know it MUST be so frustrating to the Big Man upstairs who actually knows what's perfect for us if we would just let Him do His job. So as I write this, I think I will try to focus on having a good attitude about whenever Keatyn decides to make her appearance. My change of attitude starts....now.
Needless to say, we are so excited that it's getting so close!! I can't wait to hold that precious baby girl and kiss her sweet cheeks <3 I am excited to see how Walker is with his baby sister because he sure does talk about her alot!! Do I think he really knows what's happening, no, but he will as soon as she gets here! I think he is going to be the sweetest big brother in the world.
I think everything is ready for her! Her nursery is done, all her little clothes are washed, my bag is packed. It's more fun this second time around because I'm not scared like I was the first time. I have a sense of confidence (be it false or not) when it comes to taking care of a baby, so I'm not just thinking about how nervous I am. I know Jeffrey feels the same way too. I found out that I don't have Strep B this time, so hopefully I will only have to stay in the hospital one night this time!! I know people think I'm crazy because it's easier in the hospital, but we wanted to be home.
So that's it! Depending on when God has set Keatyn's birthday as, I may or may not post again before she comes. But we would appreciate any thoughts and prayers as we get ready for our world to be rocked again in the next week or two! XoXo
