I'm due with baby #5 in 2 days! I can't believe it.
Right now I'm waiting for a call that could come at anytime in the next 3 days telling me to come to the hospital to be induced.
I thought it might be a good time to sit (it is ALWAYS a good time to sit when you are 9 months prego!) and share some of my thoughts for the family record.
I remember when Trevor and I were dating and we discussed how many children we wanted. We both said 5. Trev came from a family of 5 kids and so did I so I guess it just made sense. Once we started having children however we questioned our original plan! Five kids is WAY too many, we thought. We could barely handle the 1, 2, 3, 4 we had. And yet, after I had Davis I knew there was one more and so here we are.
This pregnancy has been the most uncomfortable by far. My body is done. But, I've tried to enjoy it, especially feeling the baby move... there is nothing like it.
I'm so nervous to have newborn again. Newborns are wonderful but they are hard. I like sleep and I get ornery when I don't get that sleep.
I also like feeling that warm little body curling up on my chest with their super soft skin and hair and smelling that yummy baby smell... newborns are wonderful.
How did I get so lucky?! Five babies of my own. I don't deserve them. They are so much better than I am.
I can't wait to see this little man... He will be loved... he already is.
PS We STILL have no name for this baby. Please share your ideas... pretty please.

I'm so happy for you, I know you know I understand! I'm happy you just about have your whole family here, I'm happy you just about have your body back (sort of), I'm happy that you get to enjoy all of those firsts one last time. I had many of the exact same thoughts as you when I was waiting for Mandalen. You are one of those moms everyone wants to be like, and even though there's a bit of a sleepless learning curve in the beginning, I know you'll have it more than under control in a few short days.
As for the name, again I understand. It's funny because my baby's name wasn't my very favorite name I had ever heard, but when I heard it from Bryan, I just knew that was her name. Hopefully when the time comes, you'll hear it and just go, 'oh of COURSE that's his name.' Anyways, love you! Miss you!
So excited for you! Can't wait to see pics of your newest addition. You have such adorable kids! I hope all goes well with your labor and delivery.
