Finalizing Plans

Well the baby is due in about 4 weeks. I can hardly believe it. We are getting the last few things ready for the baby and setting up stuff for Evelyn. It is a lot harder to plan when you already have one child. I was induced with Evelyn but if I go into labor on my own it changes how things work and who will watch her. I know that it will all work out.

Me being my organized self has typed up a schedule, menu, and routine for Evelyn so that when my parents watch her they have an idea of her schedule. I think it is more for me than them. They know what they are doing. I have also put together a list of contact, maps to the hospital and the vets, just in case. I think I am over thinking things. Me? Never.

I am just worried about being gone from Evelyn for a couple of days. That hasn't happened before and I am sad I won't be here with her. It will be odd not having her around me all the time. I do think that I will be a little busy with the new baby so that will help.

I am going to the dr. once a week now. I went on Tuesday. Everything looks great. Baby is doing well and moving ALL THE TIME! I am feeling pretty good although my hips hurt a lot and by the end of the day I am pretty tired. Richard is great and helps with Evelyn when he gets home.

Soon we will be a family of 4 and a dog and that is overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. Please keep us and our new baby in your thoughts and prayers. We are not yet ready for its arrival but are definetly looking forward to finding out if it is a boy or a girl. My bet is still on girl and Richard's is still on boy. So we shall see.

Hope this post finds everyone in good health.
