Are you serious? I'm dying here. 54 days to my DUE DATE, which in my life means SOONER! Koy was 15, Jerzi 17 and Libbi 23 days early! So that would be 39.. 37.. or 31 days! And with Lib i actually went into early labor at 35 1/2 weeks. That's only 3 1/2 weeks away! I REALLY don't want to do bed rest so lets hope we don't do that again. Still.. LESS than 40 days probably! YIKES! I'm hoping for a miraculous happening and actually carrying this baby til 39 weeks, feeling good up til then.. we will see :) 40 days is WAY too soon for me to comprehend!
Although we are ready.. we moved Jerzi up with Koy, Libbi into Jerzi's room and baby into Libbi's old room, actually Koy's old room :) I lucked out big time and was SUPER blessed with good friends and family. You see, i sold EVERYTHING at a yard sale the summer after i had Libbi. I held onto a couple things, pack n play, crib (but Libbi still sleeps in it) and some of Koy's clothes that were my favorite. But we needed quite a bit. The Heywoods gave us a car seat, car seat cover, crib and a TON of clothes! The Larsens gave us a bumper pad, sheet and mattress. I took back a swing i had given Brock and Whit (yes, i was a total indian giver!) and Sunnee also gave us clothes! Wow we are lucky! All i need to date is a stroller, but not even sure what i want.. a double? Or a single and make Koy push Libbi in an umbrella stroller.. hmm.. not sure.
This time is much different than getting ready for Libbi to come. I remember getting her room ready and having a complete meltdown. Not knowing if she would ever even come home to her room. I didn't dare buy things, afraid i've have to return them. The emotions i had are in-describable. It was a weird time. I'm feeling really blessed to have another baby and go through the 'normal' emotions of getting ready for a new baby!
Kids are excited, Jerzi is going to be tough i'm afraid.. she is already talking baby talk, using binkis, playing in the swing etc.. yes i said JERZI not Libbi.. Should be interesting! Koy is ready to have a brother, we ordered him and babe some 'Big Bro' 'Lil Bro' shirts with footballs on them. He is excited :)
..and until further notice.. his name is Drew Lloyd :)

I love the name. I know the feeling you had with libbi it is a horrible feeling, when they told us they didn't know if megan would make it i lust thought how can i come home with just one baby after carrying them both so long those first few days where scary. I'm so glad he is so healthy and is he is going home to an amazing family. Best of luck!!
I like his name~ he really is going to be here before you know it! Let me know if there is anything else you need:)
Cute name! And I am so glad that you are able to have the "normal" emotions this time around! I'm so excited for you and make sure you use me and call me when you need help!
I remember those crappy emotional days before Jersey came. I didn't buy anything. I still felt really hesitant to buy anything for Jett and now that he's here I still have a little anxiety. It's funny how you can have 2 good, normal experiences and then the bad one comes along and changes everything! Glad you have amazing people to take care of you! Miss you!
