Hey!! we are approaching the arrival of Scarlett! I will go to the hospital at 5:30 am on Wednesday and if all goes according to plan we will have a new baby girl by 8:00 am!!! I've been working like crazy to get her room/nursery all finished and it's almost complete!!! I'll be posting pictures today or tomorrow. I'm getting a little nervous for my C-Section but I'm hoping things will go a little better with recovery this time around. I am definitely in better health/shape than with the boys at delivery, and I'm going to forgo the morphine for some alternative medicine directly following surgery... Last time I got really sick afterwards and was really out of it and some of my first memories of meeting the boys the day they were born are pretty foggy. So hopefully that will make a difference. Other than that I am ready to go! I've had an unbelievable pregnancy and it was really nice to just be normal!!! With that said I'm done carrying around this bowling ball and I'm ready to hold this baby in my arms!
In other news we got a dog.... I was not very pleased about this. Devin has been dying inside to get a dog for years! he was trying to get one the week before we moved out of his parents but I forbid him! So I'm surprised he waited 4 weeks after moving in!!! He had major Dog fever last week and said regardless he was getting a dog! I was pretty adamant that he wait until after the baby was home but as you can see that didn't happen! I did give him some guidelines which were; no puppies, no males, and NO Big dogs ! I have always had small dogs and did not feel comfortable getting a large dog especially since my boys are absolutely terrified of ALL dogs! I was afraid a big dog would be down right awful and that it would end badly. So what does Devin get?!!! A male puppy German Shepard.... He did a LOT of begging and pleading and didn't nessecarily do it without consulting me but I was definitely less than thrilled! And it didn't help that the second we brought him home he peed on the tile and I slipped in it while carrying a chair in from another room and I pretty much landed in the splits 38 weeks pregnant... I literally cried! I could have killed Devin right then and there!!!! Luckily things have been MUCH better since then! He has been the best dog hands down I have ever owned its been almost a week and that was the first and last accident he had so although he is a puppy he is completely potty trained. He has been great with the boys who have definitely warmed up to him and now can't leave him alone! He has accepted the fact that he is their own personal jungle gym and deals with it! He already follows simple commands and is incredibly mellow. Needless to say Django has won me over. And Devin is the Happiest man alive it's been like Christmas for him! His life long dream has been to have a German Shepard so I guess he has hit the pinnacle!
As far as other news goes we are definitely LOVING our new house! It's been so fun to decorate and just have our own space again! The boys are both walking really well now and just wander all over the place! They are also starting to put small phrases together! It's so stinking cute!!! And nice to actually know what they want for a change instead of playing 50 questions!!! Well that's it for now!! Next post will probably include some pictures of our new arrival!!!
