Christmas 2009

Awaiting Our New Arrival

So, here we are in the last stretch of this pregnancy and I feel like I'm just ready to pop. I'm just happy that I made it past Christmas, I was afraid at one point that the baby may just decide to arrive a few days before Christmas. That's what I get for not slowing down.

These last couple of weeks have been filled with Doctor appointments and getting everything coordinated with my delivery and my MS treatments. I have another appointment next week and everything should be set to go. I'm also down to the final appointments of my pregnancy, I now go every week until delivery. I'll try to give updates, however, I say I'll do a lot of things and never follow through. I suck at blogging, it's just another thing that I just don't have time for that I try to keep up.

I've been losing a lot of sleep that last few weeks, but it seems to be getting worse. I've been having contractions during the night and they just don't seem to go away for an hour or two and it's making it uncomfortable, as if it wasn't already sleeping with my bowling ball and all.

We have almost everything ready for Mason's arrival. We have all of the furniture and baby clothes cleaned and ready to go. We cleaned up the car seat, swing, and bouncy seat that have been sitting in the crawl space and storage since we moved from West Jordan. I just need to get the bottles cleaned, new nipples and pacifiers and a new rod for the valance I made over the weekend and we are set!

So now I'm taking bets. I don't think I'll make it past mid January, at least naturally, all bets are off if I'm induced for any reason (fat babies with BIG heads).

So on top of all of this stressfulness, Christmas decided to come this year, right in time for more stress. All in all it was a pretty low key Christmas, we kind of did things on our own time. And, the difference this year is that Dylan is finally at the age where he really likes Christmas. The last year he really wasn't getting it at all. It was fun to see him "freak out" with all the presents that Santa brought. According to Dylan, Santa brought him "everything". Hopefully next year he'll start to understand the real meaning of Christmas, but I think that's going to take a while to really understand.

Well, until next time, maybe I can get more blogging it, but I'll take it day by day and see what I can do.
