Well Happy New Year...it has been way too long, but I sort of have a good excuse! A few days before Christmas I was at work and very uncomfortable. I was only 33wks and honestly didn't know what contractions felt like because I experienced no signs or symptoms of labor with Mackenzie til I was being induced. Anyhow, something just didn't seem right! So needless to say, others could sense my tension and comfort level, or there lack of...and I was put on the monitor. There they were...contractions! So I was officially off the clock and now a patient! I was expecting to work through the beginning or middle of January, but Dec 22nd was my last day. I was on "terb" for weeks and didn't think I would even make it to 36wks...but here I am at 38wks finally being induced tomorrow.
Who would have guessed? Not that I ever expected to be dealing with pre-term labor, but then to still make it passed 38wks and have to be induced...God sure does have a sense of humor! So tomorrow is the big day, Baby Brautigam will make his/her entrance into the world! It also just happens to be our anniversary, which I have realized is actually kinda cool, even though that was the one day I was hoping not to deliver on or near...again, God's sense of humor, a lesson in patience and trust for me!
So today is the last day of just the 3 of us! Tomorrow there will be 4 in our family, I'm still a bit curious of how our family dynamics will change, but I know it will be great! Mackenzie is going to be such a wonderful big sister to the baby! She is very excited and I hope the transition is smooth and calm for her! Guy is freaking out a bit, wondering if he is going to be surrounded by girls or if it's going to be even with 2 & 2. We will see very soon! We think we have narrowed our names down but until baby is out we are not putting anything in stone! We are too up in the air on them, and not knowing the gender just makes it that much more difficult. Or just a second list to have to make! So we will see in about 24hours! Yeah!!!
Oh, and the new family pics I posted...thanks to Nikki who did a wonderful photo shoot on January 2nd! We wanted some good family pics of the 3 of us, and the belly of course! You can see some of the pics on http://www.nikolaidesigns.com/ in the belly, kids & family galleries! Nikki is amazing and if you need any pictures taken, definitely check her out! She was our wedding photographer years ago and we are so excited that she moved back to California so we can utilize her talents! She is amazing and super creative...besides being the nicest person ever! We love her, can you tell? Ok well I wish you all a Happy 2009 (only 28days late) and I will post baby news and pics some time really soon. I'm not going to promise a date, cause knowing me, I will fail at meeting my own deadline, so soon, just soon! Take care and have a wonderful day! Happy Anniversary tomorrow to my wonderful hubby, thanks for putting up with me and for helping balance me out! I love you more!
