May....

Is fast approaching. And we have a ton to do before Bryce gets here. Before yesterday that just seemed like MONTHS away- we had no set schedule, no real plan. We just knew that there are somethings that have to be handled before he gets here.

Well- now we have a deadline. At our last monthly doctors appointment yesterday (they are every 2 weeks now)- we were given our deadline. The time when my time as a mother of one becomes crazy- as a mother of 2- a toddler and a new born.

My heart raced as I was excited to hear what the doctor would say. "How about May 14th?" He said to me. (we were trying for the 11th- but the 14th was our next date). I was so excited and said yes- we booked the c-section for 8am on Thursday May 14th. I was very excited to let some people who have been waiting to make their plans know. I was excited to finally know a date, finally know when to expect our little boy to join our family. Excited to have a date and time that I will see my little boy, and hold him.

Then- driving home, I realized- I will be 28 weeks this Thursday- Tomorrow. That only gives us 11 weeks and 1 day to get all of our other stuff done. It also only gives me 11 weeks left with just Danika.

Although I am excited- it is also sad, because this is the last time I will be pregnant. I have 11 weeks left and then I move on with life- life with my wonderful children and family. But it is bitter sweet- because I will never feel a baby kicking inside of me again, never be able to eat 4 cookies at a time- because 2 are for me and 2 are for the baby!

But- I really can't wait 11 weeks either- I can't wait to see him and hold him. And find out who this AMAZING soccer player of a hockey fan is! (whenever we watch the flames his kicks become brutally painful- you can see them across the room!).

Now- I just have to get the same panic into Brett so some things get done- any suggestions???
