As my pregnancy is coming to the end, I find myself happy, sad, anxious, and nervous all at the same time. I am happy that our little girl will be here soon, but sad that I am feeling selfish that I am losing my quiet afternoons. I’m already anxious to be home from the hospital, and I haven’t checked in yet, and nervous about being away from my kids for a few days… I know they will worry, and I will too.
This week I’m trying to enjoy the quiet moments, and days out of the house while I’ve got them. I’m enjoying the free time this week, and keeping my mind busy planning a Halloween party for Thade’s class. I also have a lot of fun activities planned for the week.
Today we had a MOPS Steering team lunch, and it was so nice to catch up with friends, and get a little break from the kitchen too. One of my friends and I have already made plans for tomorrow morning too, and I have another lunch to go to tomorrow. There is also a breakfast at my hubby’s work on Thursday, and yet another Doctor’s appointment to attend to. School is out on Friday, and my hubby has the day off, but there is a MOPS meeting to go to, and I can’t wait for this one. James and I even have a date night planned for Friday night, and the kiddos have plans that night too.
The next few weeks are going to be crazy, and stressful, but hopefully wonderful at the same time…
I’m so excited for you, Nicole, and can’t wait to see pics of your family’s new addition. Savour these moments 🙂 .
This is such an exciting time for you and your family! I can’t wait to see your new sweet little girl! Everything will work out just fine….big hugs to you!
I’m really happy for you and your family! Thanks for sharing such honest feelings with us. I know you will embrace all of these changes, wonderful and those not so(like night feedings). Try and post when you can! Can’t wait to welcome that new baby girl!
Thanks Susan! We are getting pretty anxious around here too. I just hope that this kiddo kinda looks like her mommy 😉 The boys both look exactly like James 😉
Thanks Ellie! I am trying to enjoy these last few weeks, but the anxiety is kicking in… There is so much to do, and I really feel unprepared this time. I worry about the kiddos too, they aren’t too fond of Mom and Dad being away… We have been taking them to most of the Doctor appointments, and they ask the Doctor plenty of questions. I hope this helps to calm some of their worries too.
Thanks Nana! I’m sure that once I’m home from the hospital that my worried mind will finally let up a bit…
Thanks Heather! You are too sweet… I am really stressed at the moment, and worried a lot. There is so much going on right now, and I seem to be forgetting everything. I know that the next few weeks are going to fly by, and I just hope that I can be ready…
