This Weekend

Chad and I went to Linsey’s house on Saturday. His mom got into town on Friday afternoon to be here for the arrival of baby Kale. Linsey is still hanging in there. No baby yet. But I tell you there were moments were she looked like she was in a state of pure discomfort.

I can’t believe I will be going through the same exact situation in 3 months. It seems terrifying. She explained to me how the doctor checks to see if you are dilated or not. It’s not a pretty process. I am sure I will cry.

Seeing Linsey and Dustin so close to welcoming their baby into the world makes me super excited and super anxious to get Cayden in my arms. He is going to be a pure doll I just know it. He is already so very entertaining. You can now see my belly move when he moves and there are times he is going nuts in there. Throwing punches, kicks, elbows and knees all simultaneously. Chad and I call this “The Popcorn Show.” It’s the best entertainment ever and it’s free.

It was really good to see Chad’s mom too. We haven’t seen her since Christmas. Plus, I like seeing people who haven’t seen me in a while so that they can marvel on how much I have grown over the past couple of months. His mom said that I still look small and fabulous—she’s too kind. However, she did already accidently called Cayden Kale. I wonder how many more times that will happen between now and forever.

We spent the rest of the weekend focusing on “getting ready for Cayden” stuff. Chad worked some more on the nursery. I can’t wait for it to get finished so that I can decorate. And I have decided that I am re-organizing the entire house. My mom says I am nesting. Maybe I am. I just feel that house is so cluttered and un-organized.

I am going to go through every room, every closet and every drawer and get rid of tons of things we don’t need anymore and get everything organized and clean. I realized yesterday that the house hardly has room for me and Chad; how would we possibly fit a baby in it too. Yesterday I tackled the spare bedroom and one of the hall closets and it already made a huge different. The once cluttered closet in the spare bedroom is now close to empty. Plus, the less we have the less there is for me to keep clean.

My pregnancy is passing by so fast. I can’t believe it. I am so excited. I can’t wait for Cayden to come meet everyone. 25 weeks preggers; only 15 more to go. Honestly, I think it will be more like 13 weeks to go. I have a feeling baby boy will greet us early.
