What's going through MY head?

We are down to a matter of hours before T4's arrival. I have been having my first ever contractions all day today - they are really not all they are cracked up to be. I'm just trying and praying to keep this baby in until morning so I can have my own doctor do the surgery - so far so good although we've been having contractions about every 15 minutes or so. I'm feeling good, huge, tired, excited, scared, exhausted, anxious...pretty much every emotion there is. Mostly I just want to see this baby and hold it in my arms. And I might be pretty excited to finally know what the sex is - I have gone back and forth the whole pregnancy. We finally have names picked out, although the girl name may have changed today - we still have to discuss that one...So, I am on to the fasting part, I'll get up about 4 or so and head to the hospital a little after 5, and should have a cute little button nose by 8:15 if all goes as planned. Keep your phones close by!!

A quick recap of Christmas - we had such a great week this past week. We had all the Turners here last weekend which was so much fun, as always. And of course Santa made his arrival on Christmas and made all three of my kiddos the happiest kids on the block. We had a great day of staying in our pj's all day and trying out all the new toys. After the Christmas fun we pretty quickly got all the Christmas put away and started to prepare for this new baby. We have the "baby's room" done. That would consist of putting a crib up in the office and adding in a rocking chair for nursing purposes. As soon as he/she isn't nursing so much at night it will either move in with Austin or the girls depending on the sex.

I better sign off as my hands are getting shaky and my brain is all over the place as to what to write in this post - if I continue to write, who knows what would end up on the web!!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and we'll be calling you tomorrow!!

Hope you are having the time of your life!! - YOU KNOW WE WILL BE TOMORROW!!

PS - here's just a couple photos before I attempt to go get an hour of sleep...

Here's a cute one of Grandma and Papa Settle with Ashlyn after Christmas Eve mass. Does she look spoiled or what?!

And here's the big van we rented for Christmas light looking this year!! Those in attendance were, Shawn and I, Austin, Ashlyn, Gabriella, Aunt Kim, Uncle Nick, Grandma and Grandpa Turner and Grandma and Papa Settle. We had a blast!!

And this would be my belly on Christmas Eve which would make me 38.5 weeks prego - yikes! I had to wear jeans to Mass since that's all that "sort of" fit. My belly refuses to stay under any of my shirts at this point...

and all I want is a nice family pic - is that so much to ask?? Seriously!! How will I ever get a good shot when we add yet another munchkin?? Guess I better book Kim Hudson Photography, huh??
