We are counting them down!

The days till Simon is here that is. Every morning Bryce gets up and tells me how many days until Simon is here. He really doesn't have to inform me that it's almost time...my body is telling me that fact!

Last Wednesday I became officially 9months pregnant! I had my OB appt on Friday and he told me Simon wasn't quite ready. Still too high...I'm sorry has he seen how low I'm carrying this baby? And not dialated which really came as a surprise because it was Spring Break and at Hodges Orthodontics that means busting your butt to see as many patients you can in 3 days. I just knew all that hustling would cause dialation of just a little bit.

Speaking of work, it is just now hitting me that I will not have a job after April 1. I have been at Hodges for over 6 1/2 years and it just hasn't really set in that I won't have to get up and get ready everyday. No more teeth, no more braces, no more labwork. NO MORE PAYCHECK!!! Oh that one hit hard. It has been 7 years since we have been a one income family and I'm so nervous. I am very anal about paying my bills and when they get paid and now I won't have that cushion every other week when I get paid. Eric and I prayed really hard about this decision and we feel that it was the one God had planned for us but it's still hard to not be nervous.

I almost have Simon's room finished. I'm just waiting on a book shelf/toy chest. I'm also waiting on his diaper bag that I ordered. Looks like he may be here before the shelf and diaper bag...I'm contemplating buying a diaper bag to make do until the other one comes in. As for now we are just waiting...not too many more days left. As Bryce would say " Only 23 more days left till Simon."

I didn't know you had a blog! LOVE the name Simon! Reading that about you not working was like a flashback for me! Seriously, down to the teeth, braces, etc! Don't worry! God will provide! Nothing is more important than that sweet baby and taking care of your boys. You have plenty of life left to work! =) Can't wait to hear the news that he's here! We'll have to get little miss Mamie and Simon together for a playdate this summer!
