Over the past few weeks my mind has been EVERYWHERE…
Mainly I have been trying to get myself together for delivery and becoming a mom of 3!
A friend snapped this pic after church on Sunday!
Love my munchkin!
All in my Feelings…As I spend these last couple of weeks with just Emma and I at home I cant help but get a little sad that our time of just “Mommy & Emma” will be coming to an end (well not an end)…but we will be adding “Mommy, Emma & The Boys” so its like a bittersweet feeling! Emma has been super clingy the past few days and today she noticed that we had the boys bed together and in her own way you could tell that she wasn’t happy about it. She fussed in her own way, and it seemed like she was trying to ask me what is going on Mommy. It was funny but it made me sad at the same time because I didn’t think she would have feelings about no longer being the only child. But I think once the babies are here she will be fine…just some adjusting that she has to go through.
And even though she has been SUPER clingy she has also been showing lots of signs of becoming a big girl! We have tried a little bit of potty training, but I dont think she is fully ready yet. I want her to come into it on her own and not be rushed. When I ask her about being wet or pooping she will point to her behind but its not enough for me to think she is ready just yet…and that’s fine because as a family we are about to go through a lot of changes and I feel once things calm down then we can really get going!
Last week when Emma went to speech therapy, she actually went back to the classroom with the therapists on her on. She was a total big girl, and she participated very well (usually I’m sitting there in the classroom with her and she doesn’t participate at all). This is something we have been working on because she is always with me, so we are slowly breaking away. And although I was anxious to get back to her I know its for the best because we plan on starting school for a 1/2 day at the beginning of the year. This week didn’t go as well as last week but thats okay…we will keep working!

Prepping for Delivery…well not only do I have to prep for myself but I also have to prep for Emma. On my agenda for today is to prep a bag for Emma for the hospital. My mom and sister will be keeping her so I’m going to pack her a little bag of her stuff (crayons, books, iPad, fruit snacks and some of those goodies that she likes to get from the Target $1 bins). Emma does well with my mom and sister but I am nervous about being away from her for a couple of days since I will have to stay overnight in the hospital, I know they will bring her up there during the day but its not the same as being home with her and being there when she wakes up in the morning!
Besides a bag for Emma…I have been prepping my own bag for delivery. I have bought my gowns because I like to have on my own the day after and the days that I have to stay there. I also bought myself some footies! I did my toes…I will probably put one more clear coat on them just because I like them shiny (not that anyone is looking at my feet). I have bought toiletries for myself because I know what I like and usually they aren’t the same things the hospital has.
Blog…Well I haven’t been blogging much due to time and just being able to sit and focus. However, I realized I needed something to calm me down so here I am back in front of the computer writing my thoughts out! I must say I have missed it and it has calmed me down!
Yesterday I decided to participate in an October Photo Challenge on Instagram (are you following me)…
The photo challenge is from #BloggersGetSocial
