These last few days....

Everything I do now I tell myself ...this is the last time I will sit through Sacrament Meeting for the last time, or this is my last Saturday being pregnant. I am so ready to be done with my support hose, my squished bladder, my constant hot flashes and my huge body.

BUT..... it makes me sad that I won't be feeling all the pokes and prods from my internal buddy. It is humbling to think where Rocky is and what he knows. He knows who he is and that Heavenly Father loves him. I hope he will always know that. I can't wait to see him and snuggle up for the next few months.

I am terrified to start over, I hope I can remember all the things I used to know. I hope I can still show my big kids all the love they need and make Rocky feel welcome. Yikes I am scared!

I feel so thankful for all my great friends and for all the love and support I feel away from my family at this time. I am totally feeling the love!

It is crazy to think my next post should be the one! I am on for 10/2 at 7:00 am! 5 days away!!!! Lets do it ROCKY!!!

Apple Dapple!

I always post pictures backwards! This is actually the end of the apple post, but aren't they cooooool!!!! Cooper thought he was pretty darn tricky when we made these.

What do I have in common with fall apples? We are both ready to be harvested! Matt loves getting shots from different angles. Sure glad you can see my toes over that belly!


We went with a bunch of Kelley Kids families to the Anderson Orchard. I had no idea there were that many kinds of apples! We even did some drive by apple picking. The kids thought it was so fun to pluck apples off the trees as they hung out the windows of the car, SAFETY FIRST! The best part (after getting the pregnant lady off the very bumpy dirt road) was the apple cider slushees, DEEE LISCHOUS!
We also picked 4 lbs of raspberries, OK probably 5, but they didn't check any of us on the scales for our before and after weights.

Cooper LOVES soccer! He is on the Germany team with a bunch of his buddies from church. He asks me every day, how many more sleeps until soccer?

Baby update: Went to another doctor in the practice and she told me I was 1cm and not effaced! I asked if the vault was sealing shut and she said the last doctor has smaller hands. What the heck?!* I will have lots of contractions one day and not so many the next. My guess is I will go until October 2 when I have my scheduled c-section.

Progress!

I went to the doctor today and she said I am 2 cm and 50% effaced! I have had lots of contractions today but nothing consistent. Sure wonder if it will be today or in 3 weeks (probably 3 weeks, just to make me crazy)! I will be 36 weeks tomorrow so it would be good to get in one more week. I will keep y'all posted.

Heaven

Can I just say that one of my favorite pass times is watching my belly move! This is most likely the last time I will ever experience the sacred opportunity of being pregnant. Even though I am ready to not be pregnant, I am cherishing all the wiggles, hiccups and bumps. It is crazy to think that we will have a new born in a month or less. I am scheduled for a c-section October 2 at 7:00. Can't wait to meet him! I love you buddy!
