SATURDAY!!

Saturday is the big day! I have decided to be induced so this baby is going to be here before I know it! I am really nervous and excited at the same time. It seems so crazy that on Saturday I will have a new little baby. I will have THREE kids. Wow, that is a lot now that I think about it:)

I am so ready to no longer be pregnant, this has for sure been my hardest pregnancy. I have just been so BIG and uncomfortable and pretty much miserable. I cannot wait to no longer have back pain-that has been the hardest part. My back has hurt the entire 9 months and it has been almost unbearable. I have had aches and pains in the weirdest places-pretty much my entire body! I have had lots of cramping, especially in my legs. Oh to be able to bend over to pick something up, to have my kids sit on my lap(I haven't had a lap in quite some time), to be able to walk up the stairs without passing out, to be able to take a deep satisfying breath, to be able to paint my toenails, to be able to sleep comfortably....... the list goes on and on.

I think I have been so focused on getting through this pregnancy that I haven't really focused on the fact that I will be leaving the hospital with a NEWBORN. haha that part hasn't sunk in yet.:) I don't even remember what it is like to take care of such a little person. How will I know what to do? Will I have the patience that I need to take care of three kids? How will I function on no sleep? The only thing that gives me some comfort is knowing that my mom will be here! I don't know what I would do without her that is for sure.

I keep telling myself I have done this twice, I can do it again. It will all come back to me right? Let's hope so, there is no going back now!

You poor thing, I as thinking if you had had her yet...good luck on Saturday and everything about being a mom to newborn will just come back to you!

Oh my, you will be fine! It has it's hard times and it has it's fun times. You will get into the swing of things and catch on really quick. No worries, don't stress yourself out cause that will make it harder. Just put all the kids on the SAME sleeping schedule and you will find it really is not that hard and you still get a break and can even sneak in a nap. We would love to bring you dinner or do anything that will help out with this crazy, fun, emotional, difficult time. Text me if you need anything. Good luck and just enjoy every minute. Oh and I agree with Hopie, my third was BY FAR my easiest. I have totally been there and if you need any advice call me. I am on my way to baby number four so if anybody knows what they are doing it is me.

If it makes you feel any better your pregnancy went by really fast for me:) j/k You will do awesome! You will feel so happy when she comes out that all your worries will disappear. Sleep hard while you r in the hospital don't feel bad sending your babe to the nursery for a few hours-that is why the nurses are there-to take care of ya! Can't wait to see your little bundle I'll be waiting for a picture text! Best wishes -yeah for saturday!

I was wondering if you had her yet. I feel like we live in different towns. . . so sad that I haven't been able to hang out with you guys more and see your belly more. I'm looking for a picture text too. :) love you!!!!

Annika said...

Hey Lindsay.

I guess I read your post kind of late - well, too late. Guess you have your baby girl already. Probably holding her in your arms right now - happy as can be!
I am happy for you and Matt. The little one will be a great addition to the great family that you already are.
And, 3 kids are indeed quite a lot :) Enjoy! ;)

Greetings and lots of love from Germany.
Annika
