5 to go...

Well, we are still here! Amidst many, many Braxton-Hicks contractions throughout the day, I wonder what it is going to be like. Some of the B-H contractions are so strong that I wonder if they are real! However, my friends assure me I would not be calling them to ask about whether or not they are real and telling them what I cooked for dinner! I guess I am a little anxious! Friday at the Dr., everything seemed good. Weight,blood pressure were good. Dr. Moore said currently he is head down, so let's pray he stays that way!

This week was a busy and productive week for Tristan and me. Daddy was in Kentucky over the weekend so we did things around the house to get prepared for his debut. I finally put things up from the showers. I washed all of his newborn size clothes and as I did so, I marveled at the tiny size, yet still the amount of space all of his little socks and onesies takes up is amazing! I set up the changing table with diapers, wipes and lotions. Looking at every diaper and smelling that fresh smell that only babies can bring. Frankie helped me. She sat on the bottom rung of the changing table with the diapers and watched me. I remembered what it was like to bring Frankie pug home for the first time when she was about 10 inches long. I remember how nervous I was over the responsiblity of having a teeny puppy. I know this is 100 times greater in the responsibility catergory! I also cooked ALL day on Sunday. I did not shower or go to church. I went to HEB baptist and stocked up to cook all the fun recipes my friends and family sent me. I have this overwhelming urge to prepare. I spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking and freezing meals, resting between my Braxton-Hicks. I had so much fun just learning new recipes and knowing that we are set for family time when he gets here--not having to worry about cooking dinner! AND I get to stay home and will have no excuse for not cooking dinner anymore! I topped it off by freezing chocolate chip cookie dough~you are all free to come over for dinner now!

We were at the Baylor game and Kimberly had Creighton there and Steve brought Colton. I so badly wanted to see Tristan sitting there with his little buddies. Watching the game sitting in his daddy's lap. I imagined his daddy whispering in his ear the reason the ref made a bad call and who they should put in off of the bench instead. I long to have that family time with our son, the dreams seem so endless some days. I suppose I can wait a little longer. I feel him moving around inside of me, unaware of what his life his going to be like. I pray that he is not disappointed. I pray he knows the depth of the love we already have for him. We certainly love him so.
