Take a Guess

If you notice on the right side of the screen is a place for people to post their guesses on Sadie's due date, time, weight, and length. To guess, just leave a comment and I'll post it on the list. Good luck...there just might be a prize for the winner (probably not, but maybe! Ha!).

Elijah stuff:
He has informed us, for the last few days, that he is now Jackson. Not sure where that came from. I think its funny though, because that's the name I wanted for him when I was pregnant. But after calling him Jackson for the past day or so I am glad we named him Elijah...he's definitely an Elijah.

Everything is followed up with a "why not?" from him. Such as:
"Elijah, don't step on that toy."
"Why not Mama?"
"Because you're going to break it."
After about 5 rounds of this my answer came back as "because I said so!"

Today he came up to me all upset and frustrated and said, "I want my sister!!" Again, not sure where he gets this stuff.

Sadie stuff:
We took our Maternity pics today. Not the best, not impressed with the photographer, but I just wanted to have one and they are good enough. I'll see if I can scan one for you in the next couple days.

I work tomorrow, but go back to the MD on Thursday. I have her diaper bag and my hospital bag semi packed and ready to go. Still have quite a bit to do, but at least she has clean clothes, a place to sleep and a place to change her diaper.

I have this experience every couple of days where I'm overcome with emotion and just think "I am going to be holding and rocking my baby girl in a matter of days". I love Elijah with all my heart, so much that just thinking of him makes me swell with pride and love. There is just something about a Mother having a daughter. I imagine its what Beau looked forward to when thinking about having a son. Or maybe its from the wonderful relationship I have had with my own mom. Either way, I am so excited.

More Thursday...
