Lately I have been so unbelievably tired but I guess that is because I am getting close. Last week after my appt I called Candace to let her know that I couldn't make any promises about keeping Mia in until she arrived on the 31st so she nd Abby flew in over the weekend and are hanging out with me. Well not today, they went into Dallas so I don't feel like a watched pot lol.
Anyhow I have been wanting to take a picture of my belly with no clothing over it but just haven't gotten around to it. Personally I think for this being my fourth pregnancy that my pregnant self looks amazing. I don't have any stretch marks from this pregnancy so far but I am by far the largest I have ever been in my life. People are asking me every day if I need a hospital, especially men. Little do they know lol!
I cooked for everyone yesterday and Candace and Abby came over to eat with us. Candace pumped while she was here twice and wow she is a milk making machine! I am so proud of all her efforts and success at getting her supply up. I will be pumping colostrum for Mia and we are still trying to figure out the logistics of getting it in and her putting Mia to the breast at the same time. She is afraid of over feeding and probably more let down than Mia can handle. I am hoping Mia is just one HUNGRY baby and she will be nursing like nuts so Candace won't have to worry about it at all.
I think my kids are just as excited about meeting Mia as Abby is. They have been really awsome about the whole thing this whole time. It's amazing to me how they handle strangers when they ask questions about their "new baby brother or sister".
It's like they can tell the people who will be able to handle the news that it isn't our baby and those who can't. Like the other day Kyra and I went out to breakfast and the waitress asked her if she was having a sister or a brother and she said "the baby is a girl" but gave her no other details. She smiled a knowing smile at me and I winked at her.
Well I have an appointment tomorrow and when I have the energy I will post again.
Just to update the details, I am about 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced and soft. She is at a 0 to +1 station so I am carrying really low.
Ok that is the nitty gritty:)

Pregnant People
Last week the kids were outback playing and Kyra and Lance ran in with babies in their bellies. It was just the funniest thing I had ever seen. I needed to take another belly picture so here was my chance for a fun one...
Erick took this picture (I hate when he does because it is like he is looking up my nose lol)
