Thoughts

For the past few days, I have been a little down. I am not sure why. I have gotten Addison’s room ready for the most part and everything seems to be falling into place for our trip out to San Francisco. I think it may be the reality that she will be here so soon, and I know that as long as she inside me I can protect her, but once she is here, it is out of my control. I know that God has a plan, and I do believe in him and have faith, but sometimes, I just get the feeling that I am helpless. I wish that I could fast forward a few months and know that everything will be ok with my little princess. I think that the waiting allows you to think about every outcome which can drive you a little nuts.

I know exactly where you are at. It is so scary to think about what is about to come. Everytime I feel Maxton kick it is amazing and bittersweet because I know he is so strong now and I can only pray that he will be strong enough to overcome all of this. I keep telling my husband I hate all the anticipation and uncertainty. I just want to know that it will all work out the way I want it to. Hang in there. When do you leave for San Fran?

Marion-

I could have written this exact post. I think it is normal for us to have these feelings of uncertainty. I was telling Craig last night--I wish I could be pregnant for 12 months! I know in my head that is not an option, but in my heart I want to keep Kaden safe as long as (selfishly) possible. I agree with you that the feeling of helplessness is the worst part, but by staying positive and healthy for our LO's we are giving them the best possible chance. Let me know, too, when you are coming out. I should start my every-two-week appt's the first week of Feb. So I will stop by and say "hi" :)

Much Much Love and Support and Continued Prayers for the three of you!

Marion,

You probably don't realize this but even mommas with well babies have anxiety! I can remember (believe it or not) when I was pregnant with Allen and Hope the uncertainty of what will happen was so scary. I can't imagine your stress level with everything going on with Addison. BUT I do know this as you do, God will carry all of you through this. Our church is in constant prayer for all of you. There is not a Sunday that goes by that someone doesn't ask about you. I pray for God's peace for you and Jason and pray that He will put a hedge around Addison to protect her.

Love
Sherry

What you are feeling is totally normal. The last trimester seemed to drag for me because of all the appts and just wanting the big day to arrive so we could know what would happen. The best advice I can give is to cherish every moment of the pregnancy. Once she is repaired and home the time will fly! Addison's nursery is beautiful!

I wish you didn't have to go through this. I remember feeling all sorts of emotions during the last trimester. Enjoy each day being pregnant. I would sing to Nayeli and that always cheered me up. Stay strong! We are praying for you and Addison. Give your belly rub for me. Tell Addison she has a great mama.

We are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers!

I remember the feelings you are feeling now and they were so overwhelming at times. Once she gets here all those feelings of anxiety will be so worth it!

Let us know if you need anything!
