In a Blink of an Eye

The past few weeks have all happened in a blink of an eye. Seriously- it's been work all day and some and then run off to the next event. Come home and be beat, but not crash until 10:30 or 11. How are you suppose to get rest the month before your baby's due when all this crazy busyness is happening??? Oh grace! How I need it!! A good thing... actually one of my favorite things goin right now is that Z and I bought a new mattress!!! Wahoo!! I had always wanted one when we got married and we talked about getting one with our wedding money... and well, 3 years later we finally got an Ah-mazing mattress and it has helped me sleep soooo much better!!! Thank you Lord!!!
And this is one of the reasons it's been crazy busy--- birthing classes. I really have enjoyed them and think the info was really good! I think it helped me and Z get on the same page and it was just informative of how this is all gonna go down..
Can you see it?? The exhaustion?? Or is my 38 extra pounds in the way?? That's right peeps. Maybe if I openly share I won't feel as bad.. I guess. We went to the doc yesterday and I'm still gaining... "and he don't stop".. the doc said everything's looking good and the baby seems to be about 5 pounds right now. I'm dilated to a 1 and 75% thinned out. This just means that my body is getting ready and doing what its suppose to do. It doesn't mean I'm going into labor early or my due date has changed. It's just better to be something, rather than nothing. So way to go Parker! Keep doin what you're doin! But hold off for another 4-5 weeks, ok? Thanks!!

you look awesome! Praying you get some rest!! I remember sitting in Rivers room before he was here and being so exhausted I would just fall asleep in the rocker or sitting on the floor. ha. It messes with your mind and makes you wonder how you will make it when youre already too exhausted BEFORE the baby is actually here! But there is grace! Thankfully!

And yes, tell Parker to hold off until we are actually in Texas! Preferably on a Saturday too so Freeland & I can get there right away! :)
