She's Coming

Well folks, I'm laying here in bed trying to rest and relax per midwifes instructions. Thought I would do a little blogging to pass the time between contractions. Midwife says it looks like I've gone into "natural hormonal labor" you know - all the touchy feely stuff! We're excited, a little uncomfortable, but looking forward to meeting our little girl.

We'll keep you posted - could be today or even tomorrow!

Baby Update

Many of you have been asking about baby Ruby, so here is a quick little update. No, she has not yet arrived. She is quite comfy way up high in my tummy. My body is all ready for her, but due to her posterior (sunny side up) position, she's having a hard time moving down into place. I've been spending lots of time crawling around the floor with the boys and cleaning in order to encourage her to turn so that her back is laying restfully in my tummy - but no success yet. She isn't required to move of course, but it would make things a little easier (and faster) for mommy. Say a little prayer that she will turn her back around and move down into place.

Now, as for me. I'm feeling anxious about this whole process. I'm very ready for Ruby to make her entrance into the world, especially since we are beyond the point that I delivered both the boys. It's clear to see Ruby is different from the start! The good news is that she just might hang out long enough for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive. That would be very special and is something I'm trying to focus on!!!

A Mommy Moment = Pure Happiness for Once!

Today is a day to celebrate for it may never be repeated! While making my usual Saturday morning phone calls to the grandma's a strange thing happened. For a moment I felt like the perfect mommy! It was about 12:15, the boys were running around wildly & begging to play outside. I said "not now, its almost time for a snooze". Then an amazing thing happened...the house got quiet (usually a sure sign of mischief among my boys)...and, when I went to check on them I found them in bed for their naps. Shocked, I kissed them and said "night, night". As I walked away I thought to myself "what did I do to deserve this perfect life, and who do these perfect nap taking kids belong to???"

I know there are other ladies my age enjoying sleeping in until noon or cool late night parties or unlimited hours for body buffing gym workouts or countless hours of uninterrupted husband/wife snuggle time. To all those people, all I can say is "you don't know what your missing!!".
