Conrad was on vacation this past week and it was WONDERFUL! Waking up to my family every morning was perfection. We didn't really have a lot of plans, but to relax and enjoy eachother. That is exactly what we did and we loved it. We got a lot of stuff done around the house and things are really starting to come together. Most importantly I think we are pretty much ready for baby. I am getting more and more anxious thinking about how soon it is going to be here. Every 2 weeks I go to the doctor now. I have already started having some random contractions, but nothing to be concerned about. Every time I go to the doctor I have a fetal fibronectin test done, which is actually pretty amazing to me. This test sometimes can tell if you will go into labor in the next. It might not always be accurate, but it atleast helps the doctors get my body best prepared for a possible early birth. For example, with Braxton I started going into labor at 32 weeks so I had to take medicine to stop contractions, be put on bedrest, and get steriods to help develop his lungs. Luckily, the things we did prevented Braxton from arriving too early and we were able to keep him in to just 12 days early which was term. I am hoping this one will do the same:). As much as I want to get this horrible pregnancy over with..I am holding on as long as my body will:). I just want my sweet baby to come out at term and not a minute sooner:).
This week is my last week in school..WOOHOO!! I am so excited. No more online classes for me. This means I just get to relax with my sweet boy before I officially become a mother of 2! Gosh actually writing that out loud made me all giddy. I am going to have 2 wonderful kids! How'd I get so lucky? Anyways back at it..I just got to get through this week, which is rather difficult. Thanksgiving kind of took away all my motivation. I just cannot wait till it is done. It really hasn't been to horrible and I am so grateful that this whole school thing worked out this semester. God always looking out for me I tell you!
Lastly this week we got out our Christmas decorations. Braxton LOVED putting up our Christmas tree. We were going to start the tradition of getting a fresh Christmas tree, but this year just didn't seem like a good idea. First off we have a lab puppy and I just kept picturing him lifting his leg and peeing on it. He does it to my bushes..why wouldn't he do it on the fresh smelling tree in my house? Also with a baby on the way I don't want any extra things to deal with..and that includes taking care of a tree. I know I am a baby, but next year I promise the boys will be out getting the tree while I stay home cuddling my sweet baby!:) I know it is a tradition Conrad had with his parents and I want him to be able to do the same thing with our kids..we are just going to wait a year. Also, the tree we have now is really special to me..we got it for Braxton's first Christmas and I think we will always put it up no matter what. It is just so exciting that this is our first Xmas in our new house. New Memories to be made..cannot wait. You all know I am sucker for the holidays and this year will be a great one.
Braxton is at an awesome age and I know this year we will have a blast!! Enjoy the Holidays everyone..and even though my husband is no longer on vacation I only have to wait 3 more weeks till he gets 12 days off. YES 12!! Moma is so excited that she cannot wait!!
