Still Waiting

It seems like there has been a lot of waiting going on recently. Chad’s family is still waiting for baby Kale to be born. I am still waiting for Chad to finish the nursery so we can start decorating. We are still waiting to see if the house will re-finance. I am still waiting to see how our finances will pan out (re-finance, raises, paying off bills, etc.) so I can 100% determine if I will stay home with Baby Cayden or not.

Linsey’s official due date was yesterday; so she is late. And considering she started the dilation process over two and a half weeks ago it seems like we have been waiting a really long time to meet this baby. But if her experience has taught me anything it’s that babies don’t care about schedules or due dates. They arrived when they want to arrive. We do know that baby Kale will be here Friday, March 20th at the very, very latest. She is scheduled to be induced on Thursday and once she is induced it could still be awhile before the baby actually arrives. I have my fingers crossed and I am hoping that Baby Cayden doesn’t make us wait terribly long to meet him.

Chad, with the help of his uncle, is going to work really hard on the nursery this weekend and will hopefully have it close to finished by the time I get back from Albuquerque next Tuesday. I don’t think there is *that* much work that needs to be completed. It’s always been a matter of finding the time, but he is pretty determined to get it finished. Hopefully when I get back from New Mexico we can paint the walls, do the trim and figure out what we are going to do with the floors (carpet or laminate???).

I just got off the phone with Wells Fargo and they are still figuring out all the rules and qualifications of the re-financing under President Obama’s new plan. They said to call back in a week and a half. I am really anxious to see if we can get the house re-financed or not. So many other things are dependent on this.

Speaking of waiting…I am getting so anxious to meet Cayden. I can’t wait to have him in my arms. But I also know that there is still much preparation to be done before his arrival; so I will patiently wait out these next 12 and a half weeks.
