Here and Gone.

Well yesterday was my would-have-been due date. Thought the day would never come, but if it was God’s plan, I would probably be holding a newborn right about now. Me and Kyle look at each other and shake our heads thinking about it, because we couldn’t imagine a newborn at this moment. We definitely need a few more months to finish the house! Although, we would have been more prepared, if that was the case. All the girls around my due date have had their healthy babies. I feel a little jealous, but not really because this time everything is perfect and I’ll have another January (or February) babe. I have basically been pregnant this whole entire year, minus a month or so. Lucky for me, being pregnant is somewhat enjoyable. The last reminders of that loss are here and gone, as well as the last worrisome doctors appointment, I hope. 

Oooh, by the way! Everything is perfect! That’s the last result I got from the Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor. All measurements of the head and whatnot they were worried about were completely normal. Baby was measuring a couple days ahead, and he is still a boy! A whopping 12 ounces. I get to see him again next month, just to do a follow up.

Still no real progress on his name. Harper and I have been calling him Knox. It’s my favorite, though last I heard Kyle was stuck on Lincoln. And we still are thinking of Henry. We are not in love with any name yet, so it makes it hard.

It’s kind of funny when people ask me how much longer I have, because I just now am counting down, so I have about 19 weeks left.. they reply “oh!” Because it’s still a ways away. I think it will go by quickly with the holidays, though! Just a couple weeks will be our Florida vacation, then craft show, Halloween, craft show, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Harper’s birthday, baby. Boom, boom, boom! It’s going to fly by, so I’m being pretty patient and enjoying my last few months with an only child. 

Speaking of which.. I have a LOT to do before January 31st. I only have 8 orders left to finish on Etsy, and probably 8 local orders, and then I’m thinking of putting a vacation notice up for about 3 weeks, until we get back from Florida. I literally have NO time to do extra stuff, and barely get my local orders finished. And it’s not even because I’m so slammed, but because I put off making frames, and getting new floors put us behind because the house was torn up for a couple days. I need the time away from Etsy to work on the upcoming craft show and spend some QT with Harper, and my grandmother who’s been in the hospital, and my other grandmother who moved aallllll the way to Cross Plains. I also would like to finish decorating the main rooms in the house, start on the nursery, transition Harper to her own room, and begin potty training! Fun.. all in the next month or two. 

Can’t wait to post some pictures of the freshly painted, newly floored, redecorated living room!! 

Dreams

Well I’ve been trying to figure out the sex of baby in my subconscious, but I hadn’t a clear dream about it yet. Just one that slightly hinted girl.

Last night, I clearly had a “boy” dream. We had the baby. It was in the nursery, but we still didn’t know what it was. So we thought.. should we go change the diaper and find out?? But there was another way, where you type in what you think on a computer, and it reveals “boy” or “girl” on the screen. It was boy. We were excited but thought,  we still need to think of a name! Katie Couric was my nurse in the dream.

Strange. But oooh boy I’m glad we have 25 more weeks to brainstorm on a name, need be.

PS. I think I’m starting to feel movements!! Will be great when it’s more often. I hope you people who subscribe don’t get an email every time I update an update 😉
