Here "we" are at 31 weeks! Emery just had to have her picture taken too! Sorry for the poor background- we were literally running out the door. We could have chosen something other than our little old lady neighbor's house as the backdrop though! Better next time!
If you live in Nashville and get a change, check out the cirus at Municpal auditorium. It was called the Shrine Circus- we weren't sure what that means, but they put on a very impressive show! I won't bore you with lots of pictures!
Emery's eyes were glued the whole time!
Well, here's the pregnancy plan. I got a call today from the nurse; the c-section is scheduled for December 12th! That is 8 weeks from today. I added a ticker. This is really just for me! I feel like I can finally start an official countdown. (Oh, and I'm just 31 weeks, they are taking me at 39) I think that there will be enough activity around here between Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas parties that hopefully these last weeks will go really fast!In a way though, I'm okay with them going slow- I love being with just Emery too! Some pregnant women might say- you could always go early!! My response is this, "I won't!" So, we are getting really excited around here about Merrill's arrival! I've already started doing my Christmas shopping, and each day I'm realizing how "type A" I really am! I think I'm about to drive Jim crazy!
Emery and I are headed to California this Saturday with my parents to visit my sister and her husband! We are all very excited-especially Emery! I think she thinks we're moving there! Jim is staying here to finish closing down the Nashville division of Plymart! And yes, you read that correctly. After 6 months of operations- they are closing the doors! The company is based in Atlanta, and is going through hard times. They closed I think it was 4 other locations at the same time! So he'll be here while Emery and I are away having fun! (This was the plan even before the whole job thing- I don't want anyone to think I'm horrible!) Doesn't it seem like that is always what Daddy's do! It will give him time to job search as well as paint Emery's new room!! But, please pray that a job will come soon!
I will TRY to remember to get Jim to take a belly shot tonight! I've meant to for what- 7 months now! I told myself to do better with this pregnancy. The first shot I got of the belly with Emery was delivery day!
We're up really early for Byerlys so I thought why not update? Here's a play by play of the last hour.
First, Emery wakes up screaming for a waffle around 4:30 in between coughing. If you know Emery at all, food is NEVER on her mind! So I knew something was up. I crawled into bed with her and immediately noticed she was breathing funny again! She's been sick all weekend with the same "stuff" as a few weeks ago. So I say to her, "Lets go do panda" (panda is our nebulizer) and she says okay! So as we are walking out of her room, I feel her torso "pump"- I know no other way to describe this! So, I take a few steps and I feel something very warm go all down my back! She threw up! Where did this come from? So I rip my favorite sleep shirt off and set her in the bathroom. I forgo putting her in the bath because lucky her- she has not a drop on her! I clean that up pretty fast and then need to find a rubberband to pull what WAS my clean hair back into a ponytail. I'm thinking I will shower after I get Emery better. On the way to our bedroom, I have to pass through our office. I stepped on the rug and felt it was wet! So I turned a light on and the rug and floor were saturated with water. Water from where? Up from the bottom of the house? Still not sure. So feeling a little sorry for myself, I walk into our room and decide I probably should wake Jim. He's been such a help- we are all running on little sleep because Emery's been sick! I forgot that I hadn't put on a new shirt! I'm kind of still laughing at Jim could have thought at first when he looked at me!! He cleans up the water in the office and then I convince him to go back to sleep. We can deal with where the water came from in daylight! It's always funny to me that things seem to happen all at once. And no, I'm not saying that any of this is a big deal!
I got Emery comfortable, and we are now sitting in the recliner watching the wiggles and sipping a diet coke! Things are MUCH better now! Of course, I haven't had my shower yet, but I'm enjoying the uneventfulness for now!
For all of you that have baby #2, I'm trying to figure out how this morning would have worked if there was another baby that needed some attention. I know that it all works out, but that seems very overwhelming right now!
I'll post some pictures in a little while!
I'm not sure how many of your kids like the show "Big Comfy Couch" on PBS, but its a favorite around here! It's pretty cheesey, but it has always bothered me how they are teaching little ones to clean up!
