BLAST

TAKE NUMBER FLIPPIN' TWO!!!!

I had about finished this whole blog post and it got DELETED!!!  I am so upset.  So now, this one will probably be half as long because I am annoyed and don't want to retype everything!  

Here is Mr Phoenix K Coburn's lil foot.  Look at his arch!  I see a budding athlete in that arch!  Haha ;)  We are really excited for him to come!  We have just about everything ready, I just have to pack my hospital bag, get the monitor we want, and his bath shampoo and lotion!  I wouldn't mind one bit if he came any time after next week.  But I am not going to get my hopes up...  I am just getting so big and so is he!  Yesterday we walked into Petco and the saleswoman looked at me about exclaimed that I needed to go to the hospital because I was going to pop then and there, she was sure!  Nice, lady.  Geez.  Hahaha :)  

The cats are also showing that they know something is going on.  I am bound and determined to not let them be neglected when PK comes.  The treats are stocked and Catopia is vacuumed and stocked with their favorite kitty toys!  I recently put a few stuffed animals in the crib before PK comes.  Freshy noticed the new occupants of the off limits wooden jail and immediately had to investigate whether they were friend or foe!  She did lots of sniffing, quite swipes with her paws and finally decided that they were not a threat to the home.  Haha :)  Just wait till there really is a real baby in there!  I'll report how that actually goes later!

Josh got some new specs!  I sent the below picture to my sister Em and she replied "Well, hello Doctor Coburn..."  Amen Em... in about 3 years.  Haha.  But we both love them (which is a miracle) and doesn't have to always sit in the front and squint at the white board during class!  

I am slowing down and it is hard.  I love to have a clean house and dinner ready.  I love to have exercised for the day and feel great from it.  Now I just get exhausted so easily and feel bad about the house not always being in the order that I want it to be.  But I suppose it comes with the job of finishing up on building a HUMAN BEING.  Haha...  

Church has been hard too, it is really uncomfortable to sit like that for 3 hours.  But it always seems like something is taught that has just resonated with my spirit and made the uncomfortableness not be such an issue.  The Lord really has blessed me and helped me through this pregnancy :)  I know he will help me through the labor and delivery as well!  Tender mercies are always happening in our day to day lives :)

I also have been crafting a little more lately.  Over the summer, Em taught me how to make cloth flowers.  So last week I turned them into a little bunch and put them on a cute lil wreath!  It was actually really easy.  I have found that if I give myself a little time every couple of weeks to craft, that it goes by quickly and cute things come out of it!  

Well I am already getting tired for bed!  I have been doing a hypnobirthing class and as I go to sleep, I listen to the mp3's for it.  They are so great!  It is a British woman's voice telling me about how positive my labor and delivery will be and how to breathe through contractions and relax.  They are working great so far, because just mere minutes after I put the mp3's on, I am out like a light!  It's wonderful, because so many women claim to be total insomniacs near the end of pregnancy!  I would DIE without sleep!  So thank heavens for hypnosis!  :)
