Not much time left

As this week draws to a close, I have so much anxiety. First, how do you prepare yourself for major surgery, a life changing event, and not spending time with your sweet baby girl like your use to. Well you can't! So I am just doing the best I can with the situation. Last week we didn't have playgroup on Monday and she really missed playing with her friends. We just swam all day on Monday it was really nice. Tuesday we had lunch after my doctor appt, then Wednesday I took Kiersten to the movies to see Madasgasgar 2, she did really well and liked it. Thursday we met Nick for lunch at Rainforest cafe, Kiersten enjoyed it. Then we went to visit a friend for a few minutes. Friday Kiersten and I went swimming with some friends and she enjoyed it! Kiersten has done really well in her big girl room, it's just so beautiful! On Friday the baby's furniture came, and we had some friends stay with us and they have a little girl almost a year. Kiersten loved playing with her! Then Saturday night we took Kiersten to a Habachi place, she liked it. Sunday we got the nursery ready. Monday we had playgroup here, today I bought Kiersten a dollhouse and I will give it to her on Friday from the baby. Tomorrow we don't have much planned, but Thursday will be a busy day. It's my last day with Kiersten so I am going to get my haircut, then take her to lunch with Nick, then do paperwork at the hospital, and then take her to bowl. Then at night we will go to dinner, all 3 of us for the last time. I don't know if I ever will be ready, but I am definitely anxious about meeting the little one, the sex, and what it looks like. I guess what I am mostly nervous about is having a c-section my recovery time as well as being able to take care of Kiersten. I hope all goes well, and I am freaking out over nothing. I also hope I do well being away from Kiersten and she does well being away from me. We are attached at the hip.

Kiersten is officially a big girl!

Memorial weekend was both fun and tiring. I had my shower that Saturday. It was awesome, the decorations and food were perfect. The theme was circus, the food and decorations fit the theme perfect. The best part was the kettle corn favors..YUM! Kristin had so many great ideas, she is just so creative. There also was a great turnout, got so many great gifts and I am greatful to everyone that made it. After the shower I came home and had to get food ready for Cheyenne's birthday party, then took a nap with Kiersten. When she woke up we ate and swam, had cake and just had fun. The rest of the weekend, was nice just ate, hangout and swam. Nick and I went on our last date since my parents were here. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant and seen a movie. It was fun! Last week we didn't do much just relaxed....which I need a lot of. Friday we had maternity pictures I can wait to see them. Kiersten did really good....I am so proud of her! Then Nick had a dinner to go to so I took Kiersten to the aquarium, then we ate dinner, then I treated myself to a Coach diaper bag, as we we're leaving Grapevine had fireworks so we sat and watched them. It was a really great night. I love spending time with Kiersten and I know it will change but I hope she and I will be okay with it emotionally. Saturday Nick went to Texarkana to bring some furniture we had there, and I am unable to travel Kiersten and I stayed home shopped, ate lunch, napped, swam and went to bed. Starting Sunday I said I was going to start potty training Kiersten. She sat on the potty and went, so I put underwear on her and she had an accident, I thought to myself this is going to be a long drawn out process. She went a few more times in the potty but I was prepared for a lot of messes to clean up. Much to my surprise she had no accidents on Monday, stayed dried in her diaper all day, even during nap. She went pee every time I put her on the potty. She has had no accidents in her underwear yet....knock on wood. She has stayed dry durng most of our outings, I try not to stay gone long, I did buy potty protectors for her to use on public bathrooms. She had even asked to use it while we are home, and during our outings. She even pooped in it, which I thought would never happen! Needless to say how proud I am of her. I am actually enjoying this. If she continues to do good I will buy her big girl panties and see how that goes, and just put her in pull ups at nighttime and naps. This week we were getting the last finishing touches on the rooms. The beadboard was put up and painted today. Saturday her furniture will be here. I am excited for 2 reasons. As much as I love cuddling with her in bed, I can't get real comfy, she is a snuggler and right now I just want my space. Also nick and I get to decorate it, so I will be happy everything will be in order soon. I just hope she does alright after sleeping with us for over a week. The baby's furniture should be in any day now too. If babiesrus could figure out what they are doing! Next week I have a few fun things planned for us, An outing with one of her friends from school, then maybe a movie.
