Getting Ready to Have Baby!

August 17, 201421 Comments

Well,  I’m blogging to you from my phone in my hospital bed this morning!

Me in my hospital bed

Yay!

We got to the hospital around 7:00 this morning and followed the little pink and blue footprints to Labor and Delivery.

Yes, I’m carrying my Caboodle that I’ve had since I was 14.  It’s the best!

I had Kev take my “official” 40 weeks pregnant picture when I got here.

No more pregnant progress pictures for me!  Yay!

Look at that cute empty baby crib behind me.  I can’t wait to meet our sweet babe!  For now, I’m just hanging out in bed getting some antibiotics for Group B Strep for the next few hours.

We’ll see how it goes after that.

**************

We had a nice relaxing weekend.  We decided to go out on a fun “family date” Friday night.  We picked up some pizzas and headed over to the park.

The kids had fun playing on the playground and running around afterward.

I “attempted” to push my kiddos on the “Merry-Go-Round” thing, but my four year old wasn’t impressed.

He said, “Mom, you’re supposed to push faster than that and run too!”

Sigh.

Sooooo, Kev hooked them up!

They were happy ’bout that. 😉

I was able to successfully push my baby on the swing though!

The big boys had fun on the swings too…

They also enjoyed throwing the football and frisbee around for a bit.

It was a fun night!  We decided we want to do monthly “Family Dates” from now on.

Well I better end this and get ready to have a baby!  Yay!  Stay tuned….

    I thought about you Sunday morning, knowing you’d written you were scheduled to be induced. I am so impressed with your dedication to your blog that you’d be posting from your hospital bed! You must be snuggling that new little boy right now. Congratulations! I’m sending lots of virtual love and support your way! xoxoxo
