baby notes . . . some random thoughts!

we are so excited that baby boy bailey will make his appearance on monday . . . yes, i am being induced AGAIN! (i think it might have something to do with the dr. asking how i was doing and me telling him "i'm done!") i guess my babies aren't even in a rush to come out!

on thursday i was having lots of contractions . . . bailey and i were sitting on the couch and wondering how we've had 3 kids and neither of us had a clue when you're supposed to head to the hospital! i cleared that up with the dr. just in case something happens this weekend, but now we want to hold out until monday so the same dr. can deliver all 4 kids! :)

the girls are excited . . . mck is talking a lot about what will be different when the baby is here and where he'll sit at the table and things like that. ken is being super helpful! she told me not to cmoe upstairs for "6 minutes" last night . . . about 30 minutes later she told me the surprise was ready . . . she cleaned up alllll of the toys from playing yesterday! wow. last night she helped give the girls a bath. and this morning she got dressed, organized her dresser drawers, and was super quiet while i got a few more minutes of sleep! kam . . . well, kam might not be as excited. she likes the idea of a baby, but then reminds me that SHE is the baby! not sure how that'll work. i know the first week or so will be okay with others around to help give her attention, but i think this will be one of the biggest adjustments for us!

on another note . . .last night on the news i heard them say that we have had the hottest 30 days on record . . . like not in the last 10 years, but hottest 10 years EVER! funny that that happens the one summer i am prego!

one other funny thing . . . random people come up to me and know that i am having a boy . . . sometimes i have the girls with me, sometimes not . . . but LOTS of people can tell. i always thought that was crazy - that you carry different sexes differently . . . but wow, this time really is different. i was basically the same shape with all three girls . . . this time, my belly sticks so far out to the front. i stick out A LOT . . . sometimes when i see my silhouette it shocks me! :)

well, until monday we're spending the weekend enjoying our last days as a family of 5! :)

It is freezing here. You know you no longer belong to Michigan when you look in your closet to determine how heavy a coat to take to the outdoor festival. (Its been in the high 60s).

Thinking of you...and Baby Boy Bailey. Sending lots of love to all of ya...

Oh I am so excited for you Jess! I hope your transition goes smoothly. That is crazy that you say you are sticking straight out with your boy because my tummy stuck out sooooo far with both boys. I thought it was just me! Best wishes!!!
