Hospital bags are kinda-sorta packed, baby's room is mostly ready, and house is mostly clean, mom is on stand-by, and babysitter is in place in case we need her. "Mostly" being the key word on all of this. There is much more I'd like to get done, and I would certainly like her to bake a while longer, but at least if it does happen, we're kinda-sorta ready.
Unfortunately, this past week both MJ and I came down with sinus infections. I was hoping I could avoid his germs, but it got me. He was at the doctor on Monday, and then on Tuesday it was my turn. We're both on antibiotics, but I must admit he's more resilient than I. I am not liking this dejavu feeling of being sick and worn down towards the end of my pregnancy. Just hoping I can get healthy, enjoy some holiday festivities, and then deliver baby girl closer to the end of the month.
I'm feeling like a bit of a bad mommy lately. MJ has been quite full of energy, despite getting sick, and in full toddler mode. My energy and patience are both wearing low, and I know it's not fair to him. I'm trying to do my best with books, puzzles, Christmas movies, and playing cars. He'd certainly appreciate it I'm sure if I was more into running and chasing him and playing outdoors. I'm sure it's par for the course, and I won't scar him for life, but it's definitely different this time and wearing me down a bit more quickly I think.
Hopefully we'll have great news to share tomorrow! Trusting in God's plan for everything...

Love you all,

You do an awesome job as a Mother! It is just much harder being pregnant when you already have a little one, especially a 2 yrs old.
Loving you~
Mom
