Yesterday was exactly one week until baby Walker's due date. I'd be dishonest if I said that I am disappointed he hasn't joined us yet. I know one thing, something is happening because my hormones have been out of control!! My sweet husband has been the most supportive and wonderful person in my life. He's supported me through some really rough moments the past two weeks and has been my rock here on earth. I'm so thankful for a husband who will pray with me and for me even when he doesn't understand me. In my time alone this week when my thoughts are all mine, I've had time to ponder how God's blessed our relationship through the tougher times, like our miscarriage and how He's always grown us closer. I'm stand in awe again...
I had a really rough day on Thursday and Cliff was concerned so he left work to be with me. I didn't know he was coming, so when he walked through the door I burst into tears. I'd already been crying all morning anyway, so this didn't surprise him. We had a great day that day just talking things out, laughing about what's to come and resting. I took 3 naps that day and he just stayed on the couch with me. I know I am overly sappy and chatty about Cliff lately but I'm telling you that having a baby with this man has made me realize on a completely new level how much I treasure him in my life and how wonderfully blessed I am. So, if I am making any of you sick with my ranting...sorry, but I am sure there is more to come. If you married him, you'd get it. :)
We had our last shower yesterday. We thought we were all done but my husband has amazingly sweet friends at work who wanted to throw us a shower. I really expected not many people to come because I don't know many people there but we had a good turn out and I had a really good time, despite how nervous I was. It was neat to see all the people who think so highly of Cliff and to hear funny stories from them. Afterwards Cliff wanted to go on a date that required walking so that we could walk Walker out (say that 7 times). So, we went to Babies R Us to get sheets for our pack-n-play and to get our diaper pail. Both are things we wanted to have when he came home and about the ONLY two things we didn't get at all our showers. Then we went to the mall to walk around and have dinner. We were home by 8:00 and exhausted!
We're really hoping for Walker's arrival this weekend but as of now I feel completely NORMAL and nothing seems different. I did have some contractions on and off again on Friday and then lots of crampiness in the middle of the night but nothing...until then we are taking advantage of the time we have left by getting lots of Cliff's grad work under his belt and getting everything cleaned up and put away. (somewhat!)
I'll post more soon...hopefully I'll have Jen post Walker's arrival annoucement this weekend while I'm still in the hospital. (As if she doesn't have enough to do with two beautiful girls at home now!)
