March
Can you believe tomorrow is March...CRAZY!!!
That means I am having a baby this month. Did you even know I was pregnant? Don't worry if you didn't. I have forgotten at times. Tyler has been more than a handful since we got back from the hospital so I have put having a baby on emotional hold trying to resolve his issues.
I think I am almost at the point of realizing that I can do it. Newborns sleep a ton and never argue. They conveniently fit in a little pouch and will cuddle all day long. Not looking forward to getting up at night and a ton of diaper changes. But I am going to have pants that don't sag off my butt in a couple of weeks and am super duper excited about the summer. Hoping Kira will be a wonderful big sister and a new baby will bring so much love into our home. I can get my kidney stones crushed and won't have chronic pain. So it is all going to work out.
I am almost certain it is a little boy. I have not felt sick like I was with Kira. I would be shocked if it was a girl but laugh that I thought Tyler and Carl were girls and they were boys. We shall see if I am right. Excited either way. Hoping we get a calm child. I know it isn't in our genes and I am probably kidding myself, but miracles can happen right? I will probably get an epidural but always scared of being paralyzed so we shall see. Not sold on any names, but haven't put much thought into it either. I think we'll choose a name when we see the baby.
I haven't been to the doctors in about two months which is horrible. I need to make an appt. I need to find a couple of outfits to get us through the first week. I think I gave most of my boy things away, but I am sure I can find something that will do. I have a bassinet at my parents that we never got rid of. Need to get some newborn diapers and my swing back from a friend. Need to find my baby bjorn. And that's it. I will probably get around to it in a couple of weeks. It really is amazing how little you really need. I remember getting all of this stuff for Scott and with each child you realize what you don't need. It is a great feeling
So here's to march...Getting through Tyler's surgery that we are hoping will make him so much happier and a new baby. I need to have Danny take a picture of me. I don't think I have any.

As soon as we know boy or girl, I will have the basics ready for our precious little one...diapers, clothes and whatever else is needed! You just try to relax a little over the next few weeks - even if it's for an hour here and there...
And fingers are crossed he/she is calm for you! :)
