As most of you probably read in my previous blog I have struggled some with my health in the last month and am still having some issues with my bladder and kidneys. Because of how my little man is positioned on my bladder I just can’t seem to empty it all the way which has been causing me to get infection after infection! My doctor decided to put me on an antibiotic that will help with this, but unfortunately I have to take it every day til I deliver so instead of paying for refills on this prescription drug without really knowing how many more days I’ll need it my doctor decided to schedule an induction for April 25th. It is so nice to have a worst case scenario day in mind and has actually helped me get super motivated to attack the TO DO list I posted last blog. Lets go ahead and take a look at that TO DO list so I can assess what I actually have gotten done since I last posted:
1.Take down glass shower doors in Lucy and Baby Co’s Bathroom.
a.
5. Spray/kill dandelions.
6. Pick up correct diaper genie refills (No longer being sold so a new diaper genie has been purchased)
7. Wash up baby toys
8. Dust all the blinds in the house
I think I am doing pretty good! The shower doors are something I will have to have help with for sure and the ordering of pictures will require a lot of sitting in front of the computer which I will hopefully have time for this weekend.. we’ll see.
So other than the serious TO DO list progress I have to tell you all about April 9th… I welcomed the Molly Maids into my home and something amazing happened and they left it sparkly, clean and fresh! Anyone who has ever thought about doing this should really have it done.. even if it is just once. It feels so good to have a clean home and to have it all done at once! None of that cleaning the upstairs and by the time I get the downstairs done the upstairs needs it again! Having them take the burden of scrubbing my house from top to bottom allowed me to spend my weekend free of cleaning and I even painted two pictures and decorated the empty wall in Baby Co’s room.
My house is still very clean and all I have to do is maintain which is soo much easier now!
Since this is probably my last pre-labor blog I wanted to share one more set of letters to Baby Co. I hope you all enjoy and hopefully my next blog will be to tell you about a short/easy labor!!

Hey buddy, I am sitting here now with a lot going on. Mom went to a doctors appointment today and found out that you are going to come to see us next week! we can't hardly wait. I have something special for this letter. Your sister Lucy wants to tell you some things before you finally see her.
Dear Baby Brother
I love you! So please develop. I love you sweetie pie. I gave you a toy box today. You will love it. What is your favorite color? Do you want to go to Mexico with us next year? I want to take you to Mexico so you will have a chance to go there. You will love it. I swam with dolphins and you and mommy and me can do it again! Your room is awesome. It has blue diamonds. Real blue diamonds. We just did it like that for you. I want to teach you how to dance, how to swim, how to share and I love you and can't wait to see you and hug you and kiss you and teach you stuffs. See you soon! Love you baby brother!
Lucy
As you can see, we are all excited to see you. Mom is in your room right now getting things ready for you. She said she will write you tomorrow.
You have no idea how much you mean to me already...I absolutely love you and know that when i finally...FINALLY see you, that you will make me the proudest dad in the whole wide world! Love you son.

Hi Buddy! In less than 1 week I will be able to hold you in my arms and say that to you! I am really not sure if this pregnancy has gone by fast or slow… I think right now it feels slow because you could be here any day and I am so excited to see you! You are quite the wiggly little worm and even though you are running out of room in my tummy you are always moving and kicking (you especially like to do this when I am trying to go to bed!). I will miss those little kicks and jabs, but am so ready to finally have you! Dad, Lucy and I are so excited to have you in our family and know you are going to fit in with us perfectly. We have been doing a ton of last minute stuff to get ready for you and even have your car seat in the car ready to go! It was so funny watching your Dad put it in.. he had just gotten out of the shower and put on clean clothes when he came out to the garage to help me... by the time he got both of your car seat bases installed in the two cars he was super frustrated, had a cut hand and was sweating like crazy! After he finished though he was so proud of himself for getting them in correctly and then we started talking about having you sitting back there in your car seat and I could tell how excited he was. I can’t wait to be able to take you places and show you things and just watch you grow up. You aren’t even born yet and I already can’t imagine life without you. I love you so much and will always do anything for you, remember this especially when you get older and know you can always come to Dad or me with anything you need or want to talk about. Nothing you say or do could ever change our love for you and we’ll always be there for you.
I love you! See you soon!
Love Always and Forever,
Mom
As you can tell Baby Co will soon be coming home to a house full of excited people! I can't wait to share his name and his sweet little face with the world!
Til Then,
Lexi
