10 Weeks From Today...

...I will have TWO children!

 

 I woke up this morning realizing it was Wednesday, 10 weeks away from our scheduled C-section. So far my third trimester is going well. I have felt fairly good, occasionally feeling bad after dinner and before bed. I am not that "sleepy," but boy am I exhausted by the end of the day. Being pregnant with a toddler is a bit more challenging than my first pregnancy.

 

I am very excited about welcoming this child into the world. We are doing our best of introducing the idea of a baby sister to Brylee. She knows "baby sister" is in Mama's belly and will point to my belly or kiss it. But I'm not sure she has made the connection that an actual newborn will be joining us soon. And to be honest, I'm not sure I've really even wrapped my mind around the idea of having a newborn join our family in 10 weeks.

 

I have a feeling these next 10 weeks are going to fly by. Here is a quick run-down of our lives in the next 10 weeks: Halloween weekend & parties, a small friends baby shower, rotary bowling fundraiser, our church's annual "Love Where You Live" Sunday, Brylee's B-day party, trip to Atlanta, Thanksgiving, Brylee's actual birthday, Trip to NYC, Bryan's 1/2 marathon, Brokaw family Christmas, actual Christmas weekend, my parents come to town, New Years Day....then Baby! It seems a little overwhelming & crazy when I list it all out.

 

And if you haven't heard, Baby Brokaw has a name...

 

Lynlie Kayte Brokaw

 

So unless I go into labor early, on Wednesday January 2nd we will become a family of FOUR! So the countdown begins....
