Last Doctor Appt

We had our last doctor appointment today before we meet our little guy.  He is due tomorrow, but seems to be extremely comfortable in my belly.  Me...not so comfy!  My belly gets very heavy at the end of the day.  My back and feet are taking the brunt of it.  I only worked a half day and I am still exhausted and completely worthless.  I told Gabe I would clean out the trunk of my car this afternoon with my extra time, and I probably took out 5 little items.  You should see my trunk! I still have stuff in there from when we moved out of our house in October!  I forgot what my trunk looks like when it is clean, seriously. It is time to move things out so I can fit the stroller in there, not to mention better gas mileage!  :)

I know mine and Gabe's families are becoming more and more anxious to meet Baby Brody, as we are too, but he is on his own schedule and will come when he is done cookin'.  If he continues to be stubborn and then he will be here on Monday, the 16th.  I cannot get over all of the emotions I am feeling.  Not only am I nervous about the delivery, but now I am beginning to think about what happens after he enters the world.  Will I feel a connection with him?  Will I want to hold him?  I hope I am not giving myself post-partum even before he comes.

You are almost there...hang in there! The feeling of being a Mom the first time you hold him is indescribable...you'll know it instantly. Can't wait to see pictures.

I didn't feel that serious connection to Blake for a couple of months. I loved her of course and would do anything to take care of her but it took a while for me to get all into mommy mode, start relaxing and really seeing the true miracle that motherhood really is. So don't worry if it doesn't happen immediately. I hope Brody gets to come out in his own time, I know doctors set time limits but I will be praying for yall that your body starts labor on it's own...the natural way. Keep haning on and he will be here before you know it!

Lindsay yes we are anxious to meet Brody - but we are also wanting you to have some comfort - know on your little body this is a load - I love you and know you will be the best mother ever -there is absolutely no doubt in my mind - it will all come when you hold that baby for the first time - we have all personalized this little one so much you will feel like you have known him forever - and if your harmones are confused all the love will follow soon---there is no other mother in all of the world I would rather have for my grandbaby than you - all my love

You will do great! The labor and delivery will all soon be a memory and you'll have the best reward ever. Good luck!
