We still do not have our new addition. I still have not dilated so we are going to be induced next Wed morning if I haven't had her on my own by then. I really want to avoid being induced but I'm accepting that I just might have to be. Not that I really have a choice right? :)
Today is my last day at work for a couple of weeks and then I'll be working from home until the beginning of the year. I just can't imagine coming back after six weeks of being gone. What a disaster that would be. I'm not going to be doing every aspect of my job title, only what I can do at the house. I'm actually looking forward to that. When I had Brayson, I got a little stir-crazy being stuck in the house all day with nothing to do but clean. I just can't handle that.
I'm really hoping that I get to post pics next time I update. In fact, I'm just going to make this my last post until Kyleigh arrives!

So it's Wednesday
And still no baby. Yesterday was my predicted due date. Today I was supposed to see my dr....didn't happen. She had a complicated delivery and I had to be rescheduled for tomorrow. I'm starting to wonder if God kept me out of her office today because he didn't want me to be disappointed or something. I really hope that something is going on down there and that I will be dilated to ANYTHING tomorrow. She can only come out....we know that she can't stay in there forever although I sometimes feel that way. I really don't even feel like I'm 40 wks. Maybe that's because I've been through this before. With Brayson, I felt all of 40 wks starting at 36 wks. Of course I had to have a non-stress test with him every week after 34wks, because he had fetal arythmia, which made me so tired....just sitting there for an hour doing nothing will do that to ya.
Well, I guess that's all for my update this time. Cross your fingers for me!

Nearly there
39 wks, 3 days and counting! It's almost time for Kyleigh to arrive. I'm counting down the days (as if it were possible for me to know)! Brayson said on Monday that he thinks she'll be here in 5 more days. Well, tomorrow would be that 5th day and that would make my tired body and mind SO happy! At least I think it will until I start remembering the sleepless nights and a baby constantly attached to me (for breastfeeding), throw 2 more kids & a husband into the mix....doesn't sound too relaxing to me or any less tiring. BUT having a baby around is always so sweet!
Since I've opted not to be induced unless absolutely necessary, there is no way for me to even start to predict when labor will start. I went to my weekly checkup on Wed and had to see the other doc in the practice since mine is out of town all this week. He gave me some bad news.....I'm thick and closed. Nothing is happening....at least not at that point. He kindly told me not to worry because things could turn around in an instant and I could be in labor at any time.....I wanted to scream! :0) Not really, I'm fine with it because I still have a few small things to get squared away at the office before she gets here.
On to the rest of the family, Brayson has been incredibly funny this week. He really is becoming such a cute little person! He's figured out how to play games by himself on nickjr.com this week and we can hardly get our little addict off the computer for bed at night!
Trevor has been out of school since Wed for fall break and has been driving me nuts! He's here at the office with me all day. I'm very glad that he is having such a stellar year this year at school! Things have really started to turn around for him. He thinks that since he's 10 now, that he is considered a "pre-teen". Kids are so anxious to grow up! I know I was the same way and now I find myself saying the exact same things to him as my mom said to me about rushing to grow up.
Jason is doing great as well. He's still playing softball on Friday nights, watching football all day Sat and Sun, bowling on Mondays and spending time with us in between :0) He's been incredibly helpful lately and I'm so lucky to have him around! Otherwise my kids would get tired of picking stuff up off the floor for me since I can't bend over anymore!
Well, that's it for now. Hopefully the next time I write, I will be posting pics of Kyleigh Rene'!

It's almost done!!!
So we are about 95% complete! We still have to buy a few more pieces of furniture and then it will be finished! Here are the latest pics:
Kim, just to answer your question from the last post....neither one of us are that creative....so we hired our preacher to come draw-in the ribbon and then we painted it in :) We did, however, engineer the polka-dots wall!

The Nursery
We finally started painting the nursery! It was really fun! We are not done yet but getting close. We still have trim work to do and still have to hang things on the wall.
Other than nursery business.....Jason and I went out on our "final" date before Kyleigh arrives. We went to the MOST amazing cajun place called Copelands! WOW, I can't say enough about that place. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was spectacular. It was really the perfect choice for our last night alone. Then we went to Kohl's and I got a night gown (I sound like an old lady) since I don't want to be stuck in that stupid old hospital gown the whole time I'm there....ick!
As for the rest of this week, we are working on getting our house in order not only in preparation for our new addition but for the company we will be having over for the all important Red River Shoot Out game between OU and Texas. Brayson and I will be the only ones out of 15 people that will be sporting burnt orange :)
I went for my 37/38wk check-up yesterday and was disappointed to hear that I have not dilated at all. I'm not really that disappointed, but just ready to get things moving along. It's not even time for her to be here but I'm really tired of waddling :) My doc is out of town all of next week so I'm really not trying to rush anythig. She knows my plan so naturally I'm more comfortable with her than some guy that I don't know. I'm meeting him next week but it still makes me nervous since he doesn't know me at all!
Ok, enough blogging for today.....I've got work to do!
