Every week I feel like we are getting more and more organized in this house and it is awesome to see things coming together. This week we actually got our garage to the point where I can park my car in it. It is a wonderful thing. The truly exciting part is getting all the baby stuff out and organized. It is funny that we have had stuff put away for over 3 years and bringing it all back out brings back so many memories. Just gets us all so excited for whats about to come. It is also so exciting to have Braxton be so involved. We went to the library and got a ton of books about being a big brother and what to expect when the baby comes home. Braxton has a lot of questions and also he is learning a lot about the baby he was. We talked about what the baby needs and some things babies do and he found it very interesting that a while back this is what he was like when he was a baby. My favorite part was reading about the baby talking and Braxton asked me what his first words were when he was a baby. I unfortunately had to tell him he said Dada. He quickly said Mommy what if the baby says my name first. His face lite up so much and now he is constantly telling the baby who he is and what his name is. We have also signed Braxton up for a Super Siblings class. This gives him an opportunity to learn about babies hands on and also see where we are going to have the baby. I am really excited to take him to this class and see his reaction to it all. I really want to prepare Braxton for this baby as much as I can. I cannot lie Braxton is the only grandchild on the Bontrager side so he is pretty spoiled and even though the Whittaker side has 5 grandchildren he still gets plenty of attention. Not to mention Braxton is an only child meaning he is very much the center of attention. I know he is going to be a great big brother, but I also know he is going to have a struggle learning that he isn't the only one anymore. I cannot lie that I am a little nervous as to how I will juggle both kids. Braxton is my side kick and honestly we do just about everything together and adding a new love to my life just seems hard for me to believe. I am over the moon with excitement and I know our family is going to blossom so much from this new life. Conrad keeps telling me he just cannot wait for the little one to be here. I think it just isn't real to him until he has that little baby in his arms. For me I am constantly feeling a baby inside me so I know its there and coming..It will be here before we know it. With all my complications the doctor just told me he wants me to make it to 34 weeks which completely freaked me out because thats Christmas basically. I am hoping this baby and I work together and go to term so I have stuck by my restrictions and made sure I am always listening to my body. At this point we are just enjoying preparing for a new baby.
I have officially started my online classes this week which so far so good. Although I truly think online classes are way harder than going to class. However, 7 weeks will fly by and then I will have these classes out of the way. It will make it sooo much easier in the fall.
Well now on to my homework..more updates soon:)
