The Countdown Continues!

Well, we are 2 weeks away and still no baby! I guess this baby has it's own ideas! Maybe my prayers really are working and since this child isn't entering the world with gusto before it's expected like my other 2, it will be quiet, easy going and laid back! Ha, we'll see!

Dr. Citty plans to see me on Tuesday and said he would talk about inducing me this week if I was interested. George and I have talked about it and I think we are going to wait. God and this baby have their own plan, I better stick to that! I know it sounds weird, but I sort of want to spend as much quality time with the other 2 kiddos before thier world gets turned upside down. They both woke up in our bedroom this morning, Andrew camped out in his sleeping bag on the floor last night and Abby snuck in this morning and slept with me after George went to work. I guess they know some changes are about to take place in thier little lives. I pray everyday that I have what it takes to be a good mother of 3 kids. I want to give absolutely every ounce of energy and love I have to my family and I want them to know it and feel it!

Well, I guess in the next couple of days we'll be posting pictures of the new addition! Stay tuned!

Our family before baby #3
New Baby Count Down!!

Well, it's almost time for our new baby!! I am three weeks away from my due date- Dec. 9. Abby was 3 weeks early and Andrew was 2 weeks early, so really, anytime now for this one! Now watch, I'll probably go over the due date and be late! I have definitely been "nesting" because I was frantic to clean out the kid's closets and make room for baby number 3 this week! I washed all the generic baby clothes (which isn't much) and put it away and I've packed both my and the baby's bag for the hospital. I have a few more little things to get, but pretty much, we're all just waiting! I would really rather NOT go into labor while eating Thanksgiving turkey, so before or after next Thursday would be great! I don't want to miss all that good food and we all know what natzies the nurses can be about eating while in labor!
Part of me still can't believe we're having another baby! I really am starting to get excited now and less anxious. I've prayed so much that this baby will be as easy going as possible and sleep good, and that Abby Rose will adjust ok with not being the baby anymore. She is hard core in the middle of the 2 year old independance stuff and I just really pray she will not feel neglected or jealous. I know God will take good care of us. Sweet Andrew will be such a big help, I am seeing more and more that he really does have a heart of gold, he is so thoughtful of others and is almost always willing to help. I can't wait to see what personality this new baby has! We have 2 precious children now, with very different personalities and it's hard to imagine a different personality in the mix!
I'ts going to be real fun to see if this baby is a boy or girl, the excitement is really building now, so stay tuned, I promise to post our news just as soon as possible! Love to all, and keep praying for us during this time!
