Have you noticed the ticker over there? That's right, the blue one that says, "Baby Boy Clark. Only 26 days to go."? I am freaking out!
I had a check-up yesterday and realized that I have less than a month left before our baby will be born. I nearly fell off the table when my doctor told me to come in every week from here on out. Not only that, but I'm dilated to 1.5 centimeters and having bouts of mega-contractions. Yikes (good) and yikes (bad)! This pregnancy has flown by--thank goodness--and I am finally realizing that our family will have another member in a few short weeks.
I'm starting to get a little crazy thinking about everything I have to do in 26 days, like sewing a bunch of Christmas gifts, washing all the baby clothes, making new blankets (Rex WILL NOT relinquish his rights to even his receiving blankets...you'd think seven blankies would be enough, but no...he knows every blanket in this house that has ever belonged to him), coaching my two cheer teams through a major competition, making props for the Poinsettia Bowl halftime, and putting up the Christmas decorations to name a few. Let's hope I can get it all done so all I'll have to do when Baby Boy Clark arrives is enjoy the heavenly lustre of Christmastime and little one.

How exciting!!! Today I'm 14 weeks along and so my day count is closer to 180. I don't think they should count in days when it comes to a 9 month process. We went tot he zoo yesterday and learned that elephants are pregnant for 15 months and their babies come out weighing 250 lbs.! Makes 9 mos. and 8 lbs. sound like a walk in the park. Of course, elephants aren't expected to fit in clothing or keep up any sort of appearances. Good luck and I hope you can enjoy the holiday without contractions. Happy Thanksgiving, oh, and my kids still can't properly peel a potato, um, today might be a good day to start.
i can't believe you are almost done. i am so excited to meet the new Clark! if you need me to come down and play with the kids while you get some sewing done i would LOVE too!
Whew, I got tired just reading that! But since you are super-woman, you should be able to pull it off :) I can't wait to see the new little guy, you guys have beautiful kids!!
Yeah,it is a miracle that we have "nesting" instincts or I think we would not get everything done! So excited for you.
That's so exciting! Good luck with all that you have to do. Yikes is right. This is a crazy time of year, but extra exciting for you guys!!
This pregnancy really has seemed to go fast! Easy for me to say. . .I'm not the one carrying the baby! Deep breaths, you will be fine! Can't wait to see all of you!
