I just registered at Harris to have a baby so when I show up again at a complete 10 maybe they won't have to ask me questions. I will still have to sign paper work. I went through Ansley's baby book to write some things in it tonight and found picture's of me signing (chicken scratch) away my life during a serious set of contractions. Can't they just give those papers to the husband to forge? Oh that's right he was parking the car! I had her maybe 10 minutes later. The picture's were not cute at all!

Monday I will be 30 weeks and I can't believe it. Which means I have about 7 weeks to get really prepared. This pregnancy has gone REALLY fast! I am sure since I have now hit the VERY painful stage it will slow down. Braxton Hicks started several weeks ago and I was quickly reminded that I was going to do this again. It's a bit scary knowing what is headed your way in childbirth and that you really don't have a clue what's headed your way because every birth is different. I choose to go without drugs and so that adds to my craziness. Since I didn't really fully realize I was in labor last time until I was standing in the living room needing to push my prayer this time is to have a BIG clue. Like have my water break way before any action starts like it did with Garrett. I don't really care where I am when this happens. I would prefer to not be on the elliptical at the gym because of all the treadmill people behind me. How scary for those poor people! I am thinking I am not the "wet the pants" water breaker. I have been more the "that girl just exploded" water breaker.
I have loved having great stories with my first two but I do worry a lot about being on the channels 4,5,8,11,33 etc...news at 6:00 because I gave birth on 35. It's a valid stress for me. and don't say "oh at least your brother-in-law is an EMT/Fireman and lives close. He can come over to help." Uh NO!!! That's not funny and that's not happening! I am sure this time around I will go to 40+weeks and be in labor for 4 days. Isn't that how the third kid rolls?
Anyways, I know that I am not in charge and God will send for little precious when He is ready. It's all going to be good!

Oh and her name is Emerson Layne for those that don't know.

  1. I LOVE that name!!! I know God is in control, but I can understand where your uneasiness comes from because of how things happened with Ansley. I would be a little nervous too. Maybe you should just get a hotel room close to the hospital for a few weeks before she gets here. Just a thought. Praying for her arrival, sweet friend.

  2. HA HA. Its funny even though I know its scary. You know that you can call us and we will be here to rush over and take the kids until further notice. We are on standby =)

    Would love to have you guys over to play or something if you are at home. We are pretty much confined to the house for a while so that I don't go into early labor myself. Hope you guys are doing well.

  3. So what's wrong with the brother in law coming over to help?..... oh my word can you just imagine? That would be what you call desperation!
