Yesterday at 8:36 p.m., my friend and neighbor, had her baby, Levi Michael, via c-section, he is healthy and beautiful, and all involved are beyond thrilled he is here. It's been a pure joy having her share pregnancy stories with me, I am almost sad, that it's coming to an end, now she will focus on taking care of her newborn baby. However, now that he is here, it puts into perspective how close Shyanne is to being born. We are 8 weeks away from our due date, but at my 36 week check up, I will have a sonogram to determine how big the baby is, if she is already a big girl, we are gonna talk about inducing. My doctor seems to think she could be 9-10 lbs. I really don't want to deliver a 9-10 lb baby, if I can help it. LOL!!! Shyanne has definitely been very active lately, she kicks and moves constantly, and now she has gotten to where she doesn't like either side I try to sleep on, it used to be the right side, if I slept on that side, she would kick up a storm, now she is doing it for both sides. I am now entering the uncomfortable stage, I can't find a comfortable spot in my bed, and I wake up burning up, last night I turned the air down low and put the stand up fan in our room. As hard as it is to believe, I actually froze my hot natured husband, he woke up cold as can be. Sorry, but I have to be cool or cold to sleep. I think Shyanne knows there are two dogs on the outside waiting on her, when Caution comes up to my belly, her little feet get after it. She tries her hardest to kick him, but he never knows. He just looks at me like I am an alien when I tell him he has a sister on the way. Butters on the other hand, he knows and he is acting out, so there's gonna be an adjustment when she gets here, but it will be fine. I hope for the next few weeks, Shyanne continues to grow, and gets stronger and more healthy,so when she does make her arrival, she will be all set. I never thought I could love someone I have never laid eyes on, but I do. I love her so much, and it's amazing that love will intensify when I have her and lay eyes on her. I cannot wait, yes I am nervous about the labor, but I know in the end it will be worth it. Please pray for us in the next few weeks.
