So, my rule is this, as long as it’s still Friday before noon, I can still call these posts Friday Morning Coffee. It’s 11:55 and I’m drinking water.
I drink a lot of water.
Anyway, today is the last day of Spring Break for the kids. Brian is at work and is scheduled for a long day. But that is only because he isn’t supposed to return to work until May 3rd. He’ll be taking two weeks vacation and working from home for two weeks and this is good, very good.
(I can’t wait to see him see the baby for the first time. I feel so lucky to be able to witness such an amazing moment.)
My body is very, very ready for this baby. I have to imagine that if I weren’t having a c-section on Monday that labor would be soon after. Yesterday they did a bio-physical profile on the baby, where they look at the fluid levels, how he’s breathing, how he’s moving, all sorts of good stuff. They couldn’t even see his face because he is down so low.
Which means … OW.
Right now, as I sit in a comfortable chair, I can honestly say I can’t remember being much more uncomfortable than this in my life. But it’s okay because I have no choice. IT’S JUST OKAY.
In a few minutes I’m going to make lunch for the kids and then we are going waddle to our favorite cupcake shop. Well, they’ll run, I’ll waddle, maybe crawl, maybe just sit at the front door begging someone to bring cupcakes to us. Either way, THEY WILL HAVE CUPCAKES.
I had plans to pick up a few spring-y things for the house, but right now the last thing on my mind is spring-ifying my house. I feel my mood suddenly shifting, it probably has to do with the pressure on my bladder and pubic bone (and back and legs), either way, I leave you with this.
I can’t wait to see the three of them wearing these together. I bought these from this Etsy shop – I LOVE them.
The baby waddle…one of my favorite things to see ever! I hope with all hope that you are able to find a comfortable position to go through this last weekend before baby, to get some sort of rest.
The shirts…stinking adorable!!!
Owwww.
So very excited for you and your family! Prayers for a safe delivery for you and baby!
LOVE those shirts. How cute..
Can you even beleive how soon Monday is going to come? (although it might not feel like it for you right now.)
Enjoy this time as much as you can..
xoxo

So very excited for you! Hope you have a wonderful last weekend as a family of four!
Pictures of the baby’s room please???
Having an 11month old, I SO remember that feeling and waddle! It’s so close now I have goose bumps! I totally expect to be getting updates and pics via twitter on Monday too, I will so stalk my twitter feed, btw!
And holy crap, those shirts…make me teary!
This is the only blog I’ve read this entire week and I’m sending HUGS.
Can’t wait to catch up with the rest of your posts when I get home. 
I’m so excited for you and your family!! Sending you all the best wishes!
I want to see pictures of those beautiful kids in those adorable shirts. I am so excited for you. Love and hugs to you all.
Hooray for cupcakes!
I also love Zoey’s Attic. That’s where I got BB’s announcement shirt when we were expecting LB!
Also, I’m just so very excited for you. Sending our best!
LOVE that Etsy shop! I got similar (but with pink birds) shirts for A and the soon-to-be Miss M. Enjoy your weekend!
so much cute.
i’m so proud of you pushing through this when you can….to make special memories AND for allowing [or trying] rest when you need to, also.
LOVE YOU!!!
Those shirts are so cute! As much as you can’t wait to see them all wearing them, we can’t wait to see the pictures! Good luck on Monday.
Very Exciting!! I love the t-shirts!!
Have a great day on Monday Beth….I am so excited for you. I will keep you in my prayers!! Can’t wait to see pictures.
Cutest shirts ever! I totally added her Etsy shop to my favorites for whenever we are blessed with another. Hope this weekend is relaxing and enjoyable for you. I’ll be praying for you on Monday!
Beth,
I am so incredibly excited for you I can barely stand it. Just today I while I was driving in my car, I said (to myself of course) “I can’t wait for Beth to have her baby on Monday”. That is how excited I am for you (and your awesome family). My very very best wishes for a safe and healthy arrival of your newesst blessing. I wish you tons of happiness for all time.
Those shirts are PRECIOUS! Love it.
Also, I am all kinds of jealous of you for the cupcake thing. (Not the uncomfortable-ness) I am in dire need of something sweet and cupcakey at the moment.
If I stop by this summer you’ll take me to this favorite cupcake place, right?
I’m so excited for you. That precious baby will be here so very soon! Sit back, relax and enjoy your weekend. And sleep lots!!
Oh my gosh, those shirts!! Be still my heart!!!
Still think you should had the little man today…
tee hee…
SOOO Excited for you Beth!!! Can’t wait to hug you and the little stinker!
Love, Katie
So excited for you, can’t wait to see the little guy and for you all to move on to the next exciting phase of your lives!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend. Congratulations and I can’t wait to see pictures!
Hope you got a really big cupcake with lots of frosting! MMmm!
SO cute! Can’t wait to see photos of them in those shirts!
Wow, I love those shirts. Also love the cupcake special treat.
I’m so excited I can hardly see straight, he can’t get here fast enough! And those shirts? So.Stinking.Cute. I love them!!!!
Years of Fridays from now you will look back and read this post and never comprehend that there was a Friday without your baby boy. There is such joy in your words, your cupcakes, your precious little shirts… and the universe is celebrating with you! And words cannot begin to explain my joy, my happiness and my love for you and the moment I hear your news will be among the happiest of my life! xox!!!
Monday: What a great day to be born, a day of beginnings, of fresh starts, full of memories from the days that have gone before. Raising my cupcake to you and wishing you a restful weekend!
Those shirts! Thinking of you and wishing you a very very sweet birth.
(Whatever the hell THAT means).
Serioulsy, quick and easy right?
RRRRiiiggghhht.
xo
I LOVE those shirts! How adorable! Yay for Etsy!
And yay for cupcakes! I gave up sweets for Lent, and I keep seeing these beautifully decorated cupcakes at the grocery store that make me salivate when I walk by. And I’m not even pregnant! I can’t wait for Easter!
Thinking of you this weekend as you anxiously await your sweet boy. Sending prayers your way for a safe and easy surgery on Monday!
OMG, I have those same shirts! I can’t wait for my girls to wear them when baby #3 gets here. I am just a couple of weeks behind you!
I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog and can’t wait to hear of the new addition!
OOOH, I can hardly hardly wait! XOXOXO to you and the family Beth!
If the t-shirts are that cute WITHOUT kids and baby inside of them, imagine how much cuter they will get.
Enjoy your last uncomfortable weekend. Time keeps moving. And soon….
I love this countdown but I admit it’s hard to wait. Maybe the scheduled C-Section doesn’t make it easier because if it weren’t for that I’d have myself believing that it could be any minute. I’d probably be camping on your couch.
And those Etsy shirts? Absolutely perfect!
Hang in there. Just think the out-of-town sisters will soon be on their way.
I think I want to have another baby just to get those shirts! LOVE!
Oh, poor mama! Not much longer now. Your post brought back a memory of when I was just weeks away from having my third. I was so waddle-y by the end of the day, that to make dinner, I had to hold on to the back of a Fisher-Price chair for support and push it around the kitchen floor like a walker! Haven’t thought of that time in years.
Hugs and good wishes.
I love those little shirts!!! So sweet.
So excited for you to welcome you new little guy! I also bought a shirt from there for my 3 yr old daughter to announce our pregnancy. Love them! I can’t wait to see pics for your 3 in their shirts.
Awesome T-shirt
rest up this weekend, you are almost there. sending lots of good thoughts your way…
Oh my word, those SHIRTS! Those are too stinkin’ adorable! I can’t wait to see THAT picture!
I’d love for you to email me an address to send you something…
Love those shirts! I bookmarked that Etsy Store too!
Praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby!!
Those shirts are SO CUTE!!!!!! Can’t wait to see the kiddos in them.
Can’t believe the big day is just days away now! Can’t wait to hear all about his arrival, and see his adorable babyness!! Best of luck on your delivery.
Wish I had found her etsy shop 11 months ago…love those shirts.
Love your blog. I usually read on my phone, and cannot comment. On my laptop now, so . . . I have 4 kids, and my first baby was a boy born on March 29, 1990. Yes, I am old (er). Good luck!
I love those T’s. They are perfect. Your baby day is just around the corner and I can’t wait to see him wearing that.

and check out the award that the IE Mommy gave you!
I’m so happy for you. I hope I’m blessed with lots of babes in the future. I have one now, and he’s 3, and we’re trying for #2. I’m hoping and praying that we’ll be able to have so many more. I’m envious, in a good way, of you and your waddle! Prayers will be flying your way on Monday!
I just stumbled upon your blog. What an exciting time! I’ll be praying for Monday. And I’ll be back to see and hear more.
Come on over for some mom inspiration and encouragement.
Many blessings to your family. Happy Monday!
