Preparation
BySo, no baby, yet.
Which is totally okay. Brian, the kids and I decided to pack up at the last minute on Friday and drive down to Kentucky to be with my sister. Just in case.
We’ve had a very busy weekend which has included lots of walking and shopping but not so much sleeping. We stayed in a hotel and I’m not going to lie to you, staying in hotel room with my kids is about the sweetest thing in the world and I swear I could do it much more often than I do. I love watching them drift to sleep, it’s such a treat. The problem was that I couldn’t sleep, my mind raced, my legs ached and the baby moved around so much in my belly that I thought it was going to dance right out of me.
I loved it.
Sarah is being induced in the morning – Brian and the kids are now back at home, my Mom and I are here, ready to support my sister as she labors and delivers her third baby.
Today, we prepare and shop even more.
{I can’t wait to find out the gender!}
I purchased the yarn for this blanket and one of my best friends, Stephanie knitted it for my sister. It’s so, so special.
Just like tomorrow is going to be.

{follow us on twitter as she labors tomorrow! Sarah on twitter and me on twitter!}
So very exciting and wonderful! I can’t wait for your sister’s little miracle to make it’s debut!
Can’t wait to learn what she’s having!
Good luck to Sarah tomorrow!!!
How exciting!
Wishing your sister all the best
Wishing your sister the best of luck
That blanket is gorgeous!
So very exciting! And how wonderful that you’ll be there to share in that amazing experience! Good luck to your sister!
Wishing her the best!!!
Big blessings for the big day! *Waving from across the Ohio River!*
How exciting! Prayers that all goes speedily and well for your sister tomorrow and that a happy, healthy baby is delivered.
I think it is cool that she doesn’t know what she’s having. I didn’t want to know with any of mine! I just think it would have taken some of the fun out of it for me!
Oh YAY!!!!!
So so so excited!!!!!
wishing her the best on the eve before her third baby!
and that blanket? gorgeous.
I cannot, really seriously, cannot wait.
I am so excited! I will be following twitter & praying & can’t wait to hear what she has!!!
How exciting! Congratulations to all of you on your new family addition!
When you get a chance could you please ask Stephanie for the pattern for the knit blanket? I would love to make one for my son.
Good Luck and you will be in my prayers!
best of luck…so wonderful you and your mom get to be there!

Congrats to you and your sister! It’s always fun to welcome a new little one into the world. And, like you, I love having all my kids in one hotel room with me. I love to hear them all breathing.

So exciting! I can’t wait to hear/see how it all goes down! Good luck Auntie!!

So exciting! I love that blanket! I’m sure the baby will as well!
That is so exciting!
Wishing your sister a safe and healthy delivery!
How exciting to have a baby the week of Christmas. It is so special that you are able to be by her side. I have such a talented daughter, love the blanket. Hopefully there will be baby news soon.
Goodness. I can’t believe it’s time for those little ones to join us….and right here at Christmas. By now Sarah will have had her baby and I’m so anxious to hear how things went. And pictures! We’ll need pictures.
I have to say that I totally don’t like that Your Pregnancy Week By Week book. It’s kind of “alarmist,” in my opinion. “Worst-case-scenario” books are definitely not my favorite.
I’ve heard great things about The Birth Book though.
* What do you think of those two books?
When i read this I want to have one more kid, I want to fell that kicking in my belly.
Merry Christams and hope all goes well, MB
