Everything I Hoped He Would Be

Introducing Kobi Dean......

Born May 14, 2010 @ 0954am

7lbs 11oz 20inches

He basically got dropped off from heaven.....

Mommy's tired so more to come soon.

All I Can Do Now Is Wait

It's almost midnight so I'll just pretend it's Friday already.

I currently look like this:

Yes my friends.  You wanted to see pregnant.  I'm pregnant.  No more cut belly.  Just the really huge one. Really huge.

I don't know what time my surgery will be.  I just know that I can't sleep.

I've been told to call between 4 and 5 for them to tell me what time in the morning to come.  Of course my alarm is set for 4 though I doubt I will need the clock to wake me.

I know it's not a big deal to most.  Women get pregnant all the time.  Babies are born all the time.

But if every mother loved their children the way I love mine, the world would be AWESOME.

I love my boy.  I loved him before I knew him. 

Lael is super excited. She asked me if we would bring Bubby home by Tuesday.  I told her as long as he was healthy we should.

She gave a fist pump followed by a "yesssss" and then proceeded to ask if I she could take him in for Show and Share on Tuesday. 

That girl tickles me.

Well I'm sitting here on my bed.  My suitcase opened and mostly packed...all I need to put in there now is my Notebook that I'm currently using to type this.

Wish me luck my friends.

I will post pictures as soon as I can because we all know once he's born yall will not longer care about me.

It will be all about this bundle I am about to hold, and cuddle, and smell.

Oh I can smell him already..............

I'm Hanging In There

Hi friends,

I know I've been a bit of a ghost the past few weeks.  I'm ok.  I'm surviving.  I'm having kick-ass contractions.  But that just means I'm that much closer to meeting the newest member of our family.

I went to the doctors yesterday.  He is head down and over 6lbs.  The doctors predict he'll be 8lbs. 

Ouch.

Lael was 7lbs 4.3 oz so 8lbs seems like a big jump.  Maybe I'm being paranoid.

I spent last weekend in PA at one of my best friends wedding. Lael was a flower girl.  I was supposed to be a bridesmaid but seriously.  Too pregnant.

 It was beautiful.

I wore a green maxi dress and my hubby said I looked like a 2-liter of 7-UP.  He's a jerk like that.

I'm happy. I'm nervous.  I'm not really ready.  But I am soooo ready.

Next Friday people.  That's 9 days left.

That's like no time at all.

A Little Practice

Birthday Countdown....Also Question Of The Week

Yesterday I met with the surgeon.

We went over my health and everything is as perfect as perfect can be.

And then she went over the calender for my 39th week of pregnancy.

And then she picked the first available date that they could take him.

And then I almost squealed with excitement because it was sooner than I thought they would.

And now we have a date to countdown to.

Bubby will be born on May 14th, 2010.

17 days people. 17 days.

*************************************

And here is the Question of the Week:

"If you could bear the child of a famous person alive today, who would it be and why?"

I couldn't narrow it down to 1.  I chose Taye Diggs, because seriously.  Who doesn't want to eat him up, plus I saw him on Ellen and the way he spoke of his son made my heart smile.  He is a good father, you can tell.

My sencond choice is Hugh Jackman, because again, hello?  I could eat him off a platter.  Plus he has been all over the tabloids with his children.  He is actively involved with them.  And we all know there is nothing sexier than a hot guy that's good with is kids.

What about you?  Who's your imaginative baby daddy?

Bubby's Room-Phase 2 (36 Weeks)

I had to move the crib to the other side of the room to fit the Pooh baskets on the shelves.  Adorable.

His mattress in in the crib but I haven't washed the sheets and put them on yet.

Here is the pile of clothes I HAVE washed.  This is 2 loads. One still needs to be folded and I still probably have 3-4 more loads to go.

My father-in-law ordered a dresser set that matches the crib so this shelf will be taken out this week so I can put more things away. There is still tons of stuff in Lael's room that I haven't even moved to Bubby's room yet.

And here is my 36 week belly.  I'm ready.  Done.  Finished.  Time to hold my son. :)

 

Project Bubby's Room-Phase 1

It's funny how I posted a few days ago that Bubby's room wasn't CLOSE to being ready for him.

There was still a futon, desk and cubby in there, not to mention my brother-in-law's belongings.

I was starting to get panicky because the closer I get to may the less energy I have and once he gets here fixing his room will be the last of my worries.

I've been on my hubby for MONTHS to get the furniture out of the room but you know. 

He's a husband.

And they do things when they are good an ready.  No sooner, no later.

He swore that this week would be the week he made moves.

Monday came and went. Nothing.

Tuesday came and went. Nothing.

Wednesday came and went. Nothing.

Thursday rained and I knew nothing would happen then.

But when I came home yesterday and opened the front door and was greeted by a desk sitting on a rolling cart thingy.

He claimed that he was taking it to the dumpster today but I still had a lot of cleaning out to do in the room

I was pissy because I had gotten everything out of the room and didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

I went upstairs and this is what I saw:

I was so excited I think I teared up a little bit.

Not only did he take everything out of the room but he shampooed the carpet, put the crib together, and put the rocking chair in their and even shampooed that!

I threw the Pooh rug in there just to add a little touch.

I can't believe it's real.  He will be here soon. 

Stay tuned for Phase 2!
