The final hours of being a Mommy to one...

We leave for the hospital in an hour (4:30 am) and I have barely slept a wink. I am uncomfortable and as the hours slowly tick by I realize that I am becoming more and more nervous. I have said many prayers over the past nine months and prayer that all those will be answered today.

This is my "journal" if you will, and I need to mention all the crazy feelings I am having. (Maybe its just the hormones and lack of sleep...) I am sad to be leaving Mason this morning. Knowing that he will no longer be my baby. He is such a sweet boy and I cherish every moment I have had with him over over the past two years. As today has approached I have often thought of our birth experience with him...what a fighter he was and what a blessing he is. Although, my patience has not been what it should the past few months, I want him to know how much I love him and what a great big brother I know he will be!

I am also feeling very excited (and anxious...explain the lack of sleep!) to meet Miller. I have been trying to imagine what you'll look like, weigh, what your personality will be like... I just can't wait to hold you and have you here safe and sound. Only a few more hours of waiting...

My husband is laying here snoring as I "blog" my emotions at 3:30 in the morning. I am so grateful to have him by my side and to raise two incredible sons together. I pray that today will be a great day for him...he was so traumatized when Mason was born and I know he is terrified for today.

Please say a prayer for us today and the next time I post it will be about our sweet baby Miller. Wish us luck! Oh and because I can't have a post without a picture (or two...) here is Shery and I last night, 35 weeks and 39 weeks. And Mason's last picture with brother in mommy's tummy...hopefully he is still full of kisses when he meets him!

Cap and Gown Official!!!

Saturday, June 16th, I officially graduated and received my MAT. It was HOT (the black gown and hood didn't help!) I am 38 weeks pregnant and scheduled for my c-section on June 25th. They moved me under a tent for most of the ceremony (I guess they were worried I would go into labor!) There were 917 graduates and the ceremony went surprisingly fast, considering! Kevin had to go back to work on the 15th so he had to miss it (saving his time off for baby!) My awesome parents made the trip over though! I can't thank them enough for all their love and support. They are such awesome parents and have set such a great example! They are always there for each of us...my siblings and I have truly been blessed! I am so thankful to be finished with school and want to thank all those that helped and supported me throughout this journey!

RB Auctions...(Grandpa's Favorite Shopping Trips!)

Grandpa Andy invited us to go the grand opening of the new RB Auction Yard in WA. We drove up and had dinner with him and got to walk around the new auction site. Mason got spoiled rotten by all the RB employees... He got a race car, tractor, balloons and a new hat! He loved the real race car and playing on the equipment with Grandpa. I'm sure we will have many more auction visits in our future, Mason had a blast!

June 25th - The BIG day!!!

A few weeks ago we met with our doctor and he/we decided it was best to do a c-section with this little munchkin. We had such a horrible experience with Mason and we're hoping for a much smoother delivery this time! The c-section is scheduled for June 25th at 8 AM (Yes, that is 12 days away!). We are super anxious and excited to meet Miller! Kevin will get off the boat on the 24th and my mom and sisters will be coming that day as well. Then we will head to the hospital bright and early on Monday the 25th. The countdown is on...less then two weeks! WooHoo!!!!

This was at 36 weeks... I am now almost 38 weeks. 

This is the growing belly at 24 weeks, 28 weeks, 32 weeks and 36 weeks! 

Life Lately...

Mom is getting BIG and UNCOMFORTABLE! Mason is getting more and more energy! We have loved having Daddy home the past few weeks! He is such a big help! 

Mommy loves days when Mason takes three hour naps! (Then she gets on too!)

Mason loves reading his books (And his blankie and binky...we won't go to bed without them!)

We have had fun going on walks with the Jack and Logan and having play dates! 

Mason is overly attached to his Daddy... (Right) When Mason is hanging out with Daddy! (Left) When Daddy left Mason at home to go fishing with Uncle Beve! Mason literally cries hysterically if Kevin walks into the garage without him. Mom is going to have a great time when Daddy goes back to work this month! 

We did A LOT of gun shopping this month. Kevin bought himself a 257 Weatherby...and he is just giddy about his new gun! (Mason loves his new nerf gun too!) 

 These three love the water! 

We went out to Dave and Brenda's property for Memorial Day... Mason had a blast playing with his cousins and riding on the four-wheelers! 

Mason also decided he'd start helping Daddy mow the lawn! 

We are have tried to keep ourselves busy while we hurry up and wait for Miller to get here! The weather has been hit or miss...Mom is ready for dry weather but I can definitely live without the heat for a few more weeks! We have a busy few weekends coming up and then its baby time! We can't wait!
