‘‘Twas the night before delivery day!

“The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow!
I love ya tomorrow!
You're always
A day
Away!”

Eeeeeek!!! Tomorrow I will be a mommy to a real live baby girl. I’m already a mommy to an angel in heaven, but tomorrow I get to hold this angel in my arms! Tomorrow it will no longer be me dane and the dogs. The hardest part of this whole pregnancy has been knowing that life as we know it is going to change! I love our little life and everything dane has worked for. For five years it’s been just me him and paisley! And now duke 💙 but tomorrow my heart is gonna grow and love another person and I’m excited and nervous and a little sad for this experience to end. I keep saying “I just don’t know how I feel about her yet” HA. I know I’ll love her. I’m not worried about being her mommy or taking care of her or putting her needs above my own. I know those things will all come natural to me. I am nervous about my c section, mainly the epidural. My best friend Morgan put it best “we’re just gonna speak it into existence that your epidural will go as smooth as Paula Deans butter!” Sounds good to me. House is all ready for baby! We’re just missing her. 

 Cookies for our Drs and nurses! And my sweet neighbor individually wrapped two for me and Dane when we’re able to eat them! 

 Bags are all packed! The gifts are t shirts for my mom Danes mom and nana to wear for her coming home! And one is Danes birthday present 😉

Thank heaven for little girls! Can’t wait to parade our babygirl to her grandparents  

 “Push prize” from daddy! Matching Cinderella bracelets. 

 “A crown of life is promised to those who love him” her itty bitty pretty crown we used for maternity photos and will use for newborn photos! 

 And me and MawMaw got our toes done some feisty shades of pink to prepare for her grand arrival! 

 Little pieces of scrapbook paper so they can do her feet print for us! One for us, my mom and Danes mom! I cut extra just in case. 

I will miss feeling her kicks and her big alligator rolls she does. Every weekend Dane holds my belly before we get out of bed because it’s her most active time and really the only time he can feel her because usually he’s at work. That’s my favorite time of the day is early in the morning I stay in bed and have been watching 7th heaven. I especially love Lucy because she’s neurotic like me lol one morning I was watching this clip and I sent it to Dane and said “sound familiar?” 

 I am excited to be done testing my blood sugar! I am nervous for surgery to go well and the epidural to go well. But I am THRILLED to meet our daughter. I can’t picture her. Even with ultrasounds I know she has chubby cheeks but I can’t wait to see her because I wonder what she looks like all the time. 

Babymoon disaster

We decided to take a small getaway before the grand arrival of our princess! Well that there was a mistake, and that would be an understatement! Ha. It started with an emergency vet trip AS WE WERE WALKING OUT THE DOOR! Dane was giving Duke and paisley some water before noticing paisley wouldn’t put ANY weight on her back leg. I thought she broke it from her and Duke playing too hard and cried the whole way thinking we were gonna have to put her to sleep. It ended up being an infected uterus and she needed an emergency surgery or she would die. Seriously?! So we paid the almost 2 thousand dollars and got her taken care of. Meanwhile we didn’t know if we should still go. Our trip was non refundable so we decided to ask uncle leslie if he would take care of her when she came home and he agreed. So off we went! 

We went fishing when we got there. Rather dane did because I was way too pregnant swollen hot and miserable lol 

I can’t seem to keep makeup on my puffy nose lol 

I slept horrible it was just too hot for me without my fan and all the other comforts of my home lol it didn’t feel clean enough and I do NOT like bugs! 

Going to eat Mexican food! 

And a carriage ride from the cabin. My Cinderella loving heart enjoyed this but it was a bit more rustic than the Cinderella fairytale lol 

More fishing 🎣 

I feel like that nitty gritty song “you and me go fishin in the dark” lol 

I was done with everything I just wanted to get in a body of water to take some of the pressure off! 

The weather made my feet stay swollen. It was 1,000 degrees outside I swear. This was honestly all I wanted to do during our trip and there was no tv lol call me preggo I don’t care!  

Right about this time dane came in the cabin with a treble hook stuck in his finger and informed me we needed to find an urgent care to remove it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We had to laugh. So we drove around BFE in the dark looking for an emergency room. 300 dollars later this country ER took it out with a shot of lidocaine and some rusty pliers LOL they said they get this 3 times a day usually 

Sooooo we went home the next morning to walk in and have our AC out 9 months pregnant in the middle of summer and talked about our 3 thousand dollar weekend lol 

Here is what a woman 3 days away from having her baby looks like! & her husband looks like a dead man 

Maternity session!
