Wednesday

Today Is Wednesday. The Last Wednesday of "Candice & Archie Hebert." We will soon be Candice, Archie, and Emery. My Last Wednesday before I am officially a "mom." My Last day of Work. My last Wednesday before my life changes.

I am so ready for this change! I can't wait to meet Emery. I Want to know what she is going to look like, and how much I am going to love her.

I think I have everything ready. My house is clean, clothes are washed. I can't say I'm nervous about the labor part. What keeps me up at night is thinking about all the family coming into town and wanting to make sure everyone has somewhere to stay and what they are going to eat, etc. For example I woke up at three o'clock Monday morning and thought, "I should Have something cooked so they can all come back to the house and eat", Archie said I was nuts but I'm doing it anyways. I also think I will feel bad If they have to "Wait" a long time like if I am in labor forever and she doesn't come until the wee hours Thursday night. I will feel guilty for everyone waiting so long. Call me crazy (Archie has already) but these are the things I'm worried about. I know once we get in our hospital room Thursday it will all go away, I hope...

I am so thankful That Emery is so loved and all her family is making the trip for her arrival. She will enter this world surrounded by tons of Love. I just wish I had a HUGE house to hold everyone! But this is the downside of living out of town I guess.

On another note, The dogs have been acting out the past few days. When I say dogs I blame them both but deep down I know for a fact that it is Scooter doing the damage. He has gotten into our bathroom trash twice this week. And they, (Scooter) has never done that before. I woke up at three this morning to sounds of him gagging so I jumped up and threw him of the bed onto the floor where he puked up items from the trash and parts of a chew toy. These items would have never made it out the back door if you know what I mean. Guess they are trying to get as much attention as possible from us!

Archie and I are anxious for tomorrow to get here and are praying for a fast delivery! Please keep us in your prayers.

Love!

Here is the updated slide show, I ha vent added the last two pics because they are on my camera and my camera is packed already! But I will one day :)

Ready or Not!

Ready or not it Looks Like Emery will be here sooner rather than later! I went to the doctor this morning and first started talking with Dr F about maybe inducing me the week before she is due, the first week of November. THEN she checked me and changed her mind. I am 50%effaced and dilated to a one but her head is Right there. Which I know a one is nothing, and probably no big deal to be 50 % either. Dr F kept saying how her head is down down and is literally in her hand. I said "yeah Ive been feeling lots of pressure down there!" and she said well that's why! She then asked when my next appt was and I replied, next Thursday the 28th. She said great come with your bags packed that way you can be home from the hospital by Saturday. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Is what I was thinking and I am sure what my face looked like. SO the 28th it is. Guess I am not having a November baby and at least she wont be exactly on Halloween (although it is still way close) which sucks but someones gotta be born that day right?

Reality hit me this morning. Like really hit me. In seven days I will be a mom and it is no longer Archie and I (and milo n Scooter). No longer just us two. I'm nervous and scared and emotional and just AHHHHH! DR F said to have a good weekend with your husband and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Just us two enjoying each other before there's a little one too. If you have any recommendations on things we should do let me know!

Miserable

The Definition of Miserable is as follows:

1. unhappy or depressed; wretched

2. causing misery, discomfort, etc. a miserable life

I think this just about sums me up!

Antsy

Well I am getting Antsy for Emery to make her debut. I turned 35 weeks on Friday and last weeks check up went well. My Doctor will start "checking" me at my next appointment. This weekend we did a few chores to get ready for Emery. We Semi-packed our bags and put the car seat bases in both vehicles. It was a strange sight to see when I got in my car this morning and looked back to reverse out the driveway. I thought to myself, "wow this is gonna happen soon." But How Soon??? That is the magic question. Yes I know God made this 40 weeks but sometimes the baby comes early. How early?? I just want to know!!! I'm sure OBGYN's have wanted to know that their whole career. If I knew I wouldn't be worried to let Archie go hunting. He wants to go and I'm sure he will go this weekend but what about next? My Doctor says this will be my last trip to Beaumont (part of my territory) for work and said to tell those doctors see ya next year! Which I am not complaining because I hate driving back and forth to Beaumont every week. The good thing is I feel great. Large but Great. I'm also getting worried about how long it will take to get the pounds off. I think about it all the time. I know I know what everyone says but I still think about it constantly. Call me crazy! I don't care! It's just me. Well hope all is well with you!

Lake Charles Shower

This past weekend we went to Lake Charles for my Baby Shower. My Family and Friends did such a GREAT job on everything! From decorating to gifts it was so nice. I Truly appreciate all the hard work and time they put into it all. Archie and I are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that can't wait to meet Miss Emery. We got some Fabulous gifts! There was SOOO many that I was worried we would not be able to haul it all back in Archie's Truck but with some good organizing and planning we crammed it all in. We still have some things to put together but I have done a pretty good job at putting it all where it goes. Although who knows if its in the "most convenient" spot or not but I will figure it out when she gets here! Here is a slideshow from the shower. Click on the X so the Pet thing goes away, I can't figure out how to get that off. Again, Thanks to everyone who made the shower so special.
