a little update

... well first of all....still no baby, guess he is taking his sweet time, probably hears the tantrums his sister throws and isn't sure he is ready for that yet. Although Lizzy says she is, everyday or multiple times a day i hear, "i'm ready for your baby to come now" like i need a reminder. I"M READY TOO. (actually its really cute to hear her say) i had high hopes yesterday after having contractions for 4 -5 hours , but i guess those darn braxten hicks, cause they never got worse or real regular, and eventually went away. although the plus was i think after not sleeping well the two nights before and my body working that hard for pretty much nothing, i was sooooooo tired, so i slept soooooooooo good last night. and so we wait.. (by the way all you that have your babies weeks early....or even days....well you are lucky!...i'll leave it at that) the mental game is the most difficult, every moment i wonder..is this it ....NOOOOOOOOO


middle of march (9 months)

Okay as for lizzy update, she is in the study and the drugs seem to be leaving no side effects yet at least. We think we notice a difference in her joints, but are anxious to hear what the docs say on thurs. She of course hates the shots, she gets two, once a week. but each week is better. she didn't cry at all on one leg last week, we were amazed. she she usually asks every day if she is getting her shots, which i respond, "no not today", and she quickly jumps up and down yelling "yeah!" (unless its thursday then its, "noooooo how bout later." But she is tough and is doing great. so thanks for all your sweet comments, emails, and prayers. they have definetly helped!

I've been thinking about you! It will be soon. Sorry that you've had to wait though. Lizzy is a cutie pie.

Lizzy is so funny...she makes me laugh! Hopefully we'll be getting a call...any minute..that you've had your baby. I was a week late with Ben...it was no fun. But at least you know that they are easier in your belly than out! We are excited to see everyone soon. Hang in there!

I feel you Lacey! Literally! I'm just waiting for her to come out any day now. Maybe they'll be born on the same day. I hit 40 weeks in a few days:)

So sorry on the baby mind games. Sorry to say I cant relate. Even though I have my two boys, I was lucky that I didn't have to wait until the end. 37 weeks or they would die. Those were my choices. Pretty clear cut, huh? Anyways...sorry for your pain. That must be really hard!!

So glad Lizzy is adjusting so well to her shots. Kids are resilient and she is going to make it! Times will be hard...but she is strong and she has proven that already!

Good luck with the baby. Hope all goes well.

Lacey, You look great in your nine month pic! You might be feeling miserable, but you sure don't look it. :) I'm glad to hear things with Lizzie are going well. I've been thinking about you guys often. I'll continue to pray for strength for all of you.

The waiting at the end is torture! I swear the babies wait long enough to make us willing to do anything to get them out and even on bad days not want them back in :) You're a beautiful pregnant lady too.
