We have five days until our scheduled c-section. It's a little bit crazy to think about... to wrap my head around. I'm growing increasingly more uncomfortable, but I'm trying to enjoy this time and be thankful that I don't have a newborn right now. I remember being very anxious for Josh to arrive, and then when he was here, I wished I could shove him back "up there" so i could just sleep at night! ha! I have several contractions, but they aren't painful, just uncomfortable. It's so weird how different this pregnancy feels from my first. Some of my friends even tell me that I look different this time around. I haven't taken nearly as many photos this time, mainly because I just haven't thought about it. I do need to take one sometime before Tuesday though... for my belly book :)
Today, we cleaned up the house, and got the baby stuff down from the attic and I'm actually washing all of that stuff right now. Jude and I are both nervous and excited about the new addition to our family. TWO kids?? What are we going to do with ourselves? ha! I'm so thankful that Jude will have almost three weeks off... although, I just might die when he goes back to work!
The weather in SoCal has been so beautiful this past week! We've gone to the park the past two days, and let Joshua play. There were a ton of kids there too, which was fun for him. We fed the ducks and he ran around wanting to pet them :) Those geese sure are aggressive! And then, on our way back to the car, Josh fell right in the mud! He was really upset to have his hands and knees muddy! Too bad I didn't get a picture of him belly down in the mud!
I absolutely love Jude's work schedule! It's so great having him home for three days, and being able to spend time together. Joshua really enjoys it too!
Joshy is getting really good at riding his tricycle, and today for the first time, he wore the bronco jersey that we bought probably 4 years ago for our 'future child.' He looked so cute! And he thought it was SO cool that Daddy had one just like his! I took pictures, so as soon as i download them, I'll have to post some! Very cute!
Jude and I celebrated valentine's day last night, and it was so nice. We went to see a movie and had dinner at one of our favorite places, roman cucina. We both decided we need to really make time for date nights. I know the next couple weeks/months will be a little crazy, but it's something we need to do. I just love valentine's day! Such a great excuse to tell the person you love how much they mean to you. And Jude is very good at spoiling me :)
Tonight we had a lot of fun with Play-Doh! I feel like Josh gets bored with the same old stuff all the time, and I really want to find some activities that are fun, and don't get old (if anybody has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them). So we decided to get some play-doh, and luckily, we found a pack that came with a rolling pin, cookie cutters etc. It was so fun to watch Josh explore with all of that, and play and create. He REALLY liked the toy scissors, and was doing really well with figuring out how they worked. Got to love Play Doh!
Today, Joshua woke up with a runny nose... that's all i need right? A sick toddler with a newborn baby. We're trying to nip it in the bud before it gets worse, but that never seems to work with our son! Please pray that it's just an allergy or something, and it goes away SOON! He also (knock on wood) has been sleeping through the night! SIX nights in a row to be exact! I'm so proud of him, and tell him so every morning! Tonight might be a different story due to his snotty nose, but we'll see.
Anyway... That's all for now :) I always think I'm just going to post a quick something or other, and it ends up being a chapter book! Sorry about that :) If I don't get a chance to post something before our little Isaac arrives, wish us luck, and we'd appreciate any prayers you'd like to send our way!
