Countdown


Now that I can see an end in sight it is fun to count down the days until I'll get to meet this little guy. It still doesn't feel quite real to me. I don't think I am going to be prepared for how this new baby is going to change my life.
Right now things are pretty easy. Kire is so independent, he can get himself drinks and snacks and helps Jack too. I trust him to go out and play by himself. I still have to help Jack most of the time and watch him while he's outside, but he can entertain himself. I've had time to sew and craft and read. My life is going to change.
I'm nervous for breastfeeding. I think it's one of the hardest and most painful things. I've been able to nurse both the boys, and I plan to with this one, but it is so hard! I'm worried that Jack is going to run wild while I have a baby latched to my boob and I won't be able to control him.
I can't sleep and I'm so uncomfortable already so I want to be done being pregnant.
My doctor says things are looking good, he's already measuring almost 6 pounds! She is going to induce me July 26th, but I hope I go into labor before then.

Yay! You are so close! I just always had the attitude with breastfeeding that I'd do it as long as it was easier than bottles. So I didn't last long... I love bottles! Don't stress, you can walk around the house with a baby on your boob almost as easy as you can holding a baby and a bottle! Ha!

Yay so close so fun can't wait to meet him. And I year ya. I so wanted another baby but Hudson was 6 and ruby was four so life was easy, so adding finn did mess with my easy
Life but it was worth there's something special about those first few crazy weeks with a newborn. Ahh and breastfeeding, hate it. Good luck!

Nothing can prepare a mother for a new baby. I know those exact fears and I am already in a panic. You will do great though, I just know it! Good luck and I know I am far away but I am more than happy to help you out with anything. And I can't wait to meet him too :)

Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy! I hope he comes early for you too. The last few weeks is pure misery :/ Good luck with everything :) I think the first couple of months are the hardest because you're adjusting but it gets easier as each month goes by :)
