The bags are packed...


Happy Monday everyone!!

I have returned from my big scrapbook weekend! I MADE IT!!!! All this month my main goal was to make it to my weekend. This was 100% for selfish reasons only. I just needed one last getaway before Baby Sister makes her arrival. Let me just say it was WORTH IT!! If you saw the state of my walking or my feet right now you might question this decision, but I am not.
I left on Friday morning and headed to the Heifer Ranch in Perryville. I was the official mascot of the "Heifer weekend" this time for obvious reasons. As soon as I drive into Perryville I feel such a sigh of relief. I leave all of my cares behind me and focus on scrapbooking, chatting, eating, and making Sonic runs. This time I did not do as much scrapbooking as the other things but that is not the main goal of the weekend. There were lots of laughs & a few tears (I mean that's a given at 39 weeks pregnant). It was very difficult to squeeze in the coffin-like bottom bunk (I am NOT kidding) this time, but it was worth it. The sleeping is really just a small part of the weekend anyway. I am so thankful for this last get-away before baby and for my wonderful friends that I shared it with. I'm already looking forward to July AND all of the pink pages I will be creating.

While I was at the weekend I got in a little trouble for not having my hospital bags packed yet. I am just so unorganized that things like this are hard for me. I had them help me with a list and now the bags are packed and I am ready for the hospital. The boys are now packed up to head to Grandma & Grandpa's house. My house is in the process of getting cleaned so we don't have to come home to a mess.

I go back to the doctor tomorrow afternoon to find out how things are progressing. I am hoping that he will say that things will move quickly on Thursday. The induction with Ethan lasted about 24 hours, but only about 4 for Reece so let's hope we have a repeat of the last time. I missed my phone twice this morning because I am moving so slowly. I am pretty sure she is ready to get here sooner rather than later.

I will keep updating this week and am ready to reveal the newest Kailey and her name. Do you have any size/time/name predictions? I would love to hear them. My family always arrives at the hospital with all of their name, time, and size thoughts. There is also usually a few dollars on the line for whoever comes the closest. Hee hee.

I'm only 5 1/2 months Jen and I already feel like a whale.. I can't imagine what I'll look like at 39 weeks (if I make it that long.. Jackson came right on my 38th week mark!!) Anyways, good to hear you had a great getaway!
