My dreams are filled every night with Kellen finally arriving! Each one is some crazy mix of events and people but they all end the same with Kellen finally here. It's very exciting and completely overwhelming at the same time. After all I have been a dog Mommy for so long, how are we to know if I will even be able to be a Mommy Mommy. So many fears and doubts enter my mind. How will I know when he is sick, how can I protect him from this big bad world. And don't even get me started with all the what ifs? But at the same time that all this fear is running through my imagination there is also excitement at seeing him for the first time. Holding him, letting him know he is already so loved. Introducing him to Kiara and Skyler, seeing Daddy hold him. These feelings far out weight the fear..... so hopefully I am on the right track.
Daddy and I took a class on the ABC's of Breastfeeding and now I have another worry to add to my list. Who knew it was so damn complicated? I always thought you just pop out your breast and baby goes to town. No such luck! But I feel more prepared and informed and hopefully Kellen will have no issues. We also have already tackled Infant & Child CPR class and we start Lamaze in one week. All these classes are free and offered by our hospital.... so Pike and I are taking full advantage.
My doctor's appointment this week went great and I as I start my 9TH month next week I also get weekly doctor appointments. Dr. Emerick is going to try very hard to let Grandma know when she should start driving down. I feel very sorry for him if he is wrong and she doesn't make it! Donna can get violent! I am still sleeping like a rock but this heat is really getting to me. Walking pups is almost impossible now with my slow waddle and panting breath. Chris has been a HUGE help and comes with me at nights and all weekend long. I start maternity leave after the July 4Th weekend. Only a few more weeks till I can kick my feet up and eat bon-bons!

Reading your blog brings back all of those crazy emotions. It feels like it was yesterday!I just watched a movie on childbirth called the orgasmic birth (orgasmicbirth.com). It's all about enjoying the experience of childbirth instead of fearing it. It sounds like you've done everything you can possibly do to prepare now just let your natural instincts take over (and don't worry...you have them) and enjoy!
Love-The Moons
