It's almost that time!!
I have 3 weeks left until my angel gets here! I really am excited!! And not in the least bit nervous! I feel very ready to give birth and to be a mother. I know I'm in for a long road this upcoming year, but, I can honestly say it's a challenge I'm looking foward to in every way! All of my baby showers are finally over and now it's time to get through Thanksgiving without going into labor!! Chris is going to Frostburg Thanksgiving day and coming back that Sunday...I'm staying with my mom and dad, but boy am I gonna be one sad momma....I haven't gone that long without seeing Chris since July!!! Not to mention I don't like the idea of him being so far away from me with less than 2 weeks until my due date. But, his family is so close and I wouldn't dare tell him to just skip this holiday...lord only knows the next time he will get to see his family since he will have one of his own very shortly. His weekly trips back home to see his mom and dad are gonna stop for quite some time...at least until Kylie is big enough to handle the one hour car ride without needing to eat.
I have 3 weeks left at work...which makes me nervous because the girl I'm leaving in charge has not proved to me that she was the best choice. She was doing SO well before I told her I wanted her to run the club in my absence...but now I guess she feels like she doesn't have to work so hard because she's close to "management". I bust my ass everyday to the best of my ability...just because my name tag says manager doesn't mean I can come to work late, leave when I want and do nothing on days when we're busy...but...I guess you can't teach responsibility...I just have to not think about work for the 6 weeks I'm off...because if I do, I will do nothing but worry. And I think I'm going to have PLENTY going on without work coming into play.
I'm just so excited now...I can't imagine how HAPPY I'm going to be!! I'm certain that this child is going to be the light of my life...and I know she has changed Chris's life in more ways than one. He would come home everyday and just think and talk about work...now, he comes home and wants to put the baby's crib together or go get stuff we need for the baby or wants to talk about being parents...his priorities are completely different and he seems happier for it. God has blessed us both, and I don't take that for granted for one minute.
Speaking of blessings...my grandmother is out of the hospital and doing so well...on the bad side, my grandparent's had to put their dog Missy to sleep on Thursday. She had cancer and she was suffering. There was nothing we could do to help her, so she is in peace and buried in Nanny's yard. I will certainly miss her...she was such a good dog. I'll never forget the way she played with her tennis balls. She was very smart and I know that I will never have another dog like her in my life. So, with the good comes the bad...but, I'm just happy Nanny is home and on the way to recovery...she can't WAIT to hold her great granddaughter. I'm the first granddaughter to have a baby...and with Nanny not being able to be up and cooking, her job is to hold the baby and make sure she naps while mommy gets to drink a glass of wine! :) This holiday season will be the most precious ever...and I can't wait to start getting the house decorated! Kylie will love the lights!! It's so close now I can almost feel her in my arms!! I bought a few ornament with her name on them...I can't believe it! I also bought ornaments for Chris and I that say Mommy and Daddy...how funny is that??? Mommy...I can't wait to hear those words from her mouth! Of course she's going to say "Dada" first...every baby does...but, I will wait patiently to hear those words. And when she says I love you for the first time...well, I better have tissues close by...just thinking about it make me very teary eyed.
Okay, I'm done for now...lol. Happy Thanksgiving all! You know I'll be eatting for two!!! :)
