The Waiting Game



The first time around, I knew Scarlett's birthday for weeks ahead of time. This time is a lot different, obviously because I'm now waiting to go into labor.

I really do not enjoy waiting of any kind, I never have. There's a ton of anticipation though with a birth which makes it even harder!

Today, at 39 weeks and 5 days, I had my membranes stripped. I found out that I made no new progress from last week but luckily I had a man doctor and he was able to perform the strip. I really, really hope that this jump starts us somehow. Since coming home from my appointment, I've had maybe two contractions.

Each night I go to bed hoping to be awoken by pain. I have never wished for pain more in my life (or ever?) .. but I keep hoping it will happen sooner rather than later.

Through all of the waiting, I am also taking time to relax.. as hard as that can be. I am squeezing Scarlett extra tight, holding on to these last couple of days with her as my only baby. It's hard to wrap my head around what's coming but at the same time, I also know what's coming. It's tricky.

Please cross your fingers and toes for me that it happens soon, goes fast and ends healthy :)

iPhone Photo Adventures

This was last weekend in pictures!
1. Scarlett recreating a photo I took of her cousin Makayla around the same age
2. Ethiopian with the Ney Family.. meeting Isaac for the first time!
3. She loved watching him, giggling, etc. Isaac is super handsome!
4. Just relaxing, reading a book at the restaurant, refusing to sit in the high chair
5. The grub. Addisu is the spot. Hit it up if you're looking for local yet authentic cuisine.
6. Watching the parade in front of our house
7. The classic cards were cool, plus everyone threw candy at us, Score!
8. Barnstormers game picture with Makayla. It was chilly in the shade.. brrr!
9. Picture with Aunt Jessica, gorgeous gals!
10. Sunday morning walking practice. She made it to the exersaucer!
11. Just lounging, drinking some water.
12. My first attempts at felt flowers. Moving onto more designs soon!

Hope you had a nice weekend as well!

Mothers Day via iPhone

Waffles for Breakfast! Only the best!

Fresh picked Roses from the bush outside! (from Scarlett)

Fresh picked Iris from outside! (from Alex)

Little bit of fuss.. excuse my face please! :)

Homemade stromboli for lunch!

Some champagne with a splash of Peach Mango V8 splash! Yum!

I have some more pictures to share from our actual camera in our little backyard photo shoot which i'll put into another post!

My first official Mother's Day was very nice. Very relaxing! Alex made homemade waffles for breakfast, I snuggled a lot with Scarlett and held her most times she napped (other than her morning nap), we laid outside under a tree for a while, Alex made stromboli for lunch which was delicious!, we popped some bubbly, I made risotto for dinner and Alex added in some collards for good measure, we relaxed indoors and played with Scarlett all day.

Scarlett has been teething, or whatever the beginning stages of teething are so she wasn't happy all the time. We wanted to go take a walk somewhere but the logistics were difficult to plan around Scarlett's cat nap schedule, or non-schedule really. So relaxing at home was the best idea and we took full advantage.

I hope everyone who is a mother or a mother to be had a fantastic day filled with love!
