40 days until we meet you! - Sunday July 26, 2015

Dear Baby Ethan,

We had a nice and busy day.  You were quite active as usual.  Your Aunt Daisy, Cousin Anna Beth and Rose came to hang out for awhile.  I feel bad for Rose keeping her cooped up in this room.  She started going to the door to get out after an hour or two.  Usually your dad and Rose just stay for an hour or two each night, so she is not used to being here longer than that.

We just tried to keep the children happy and watched HGTV! Baby Anna Beth is having some pooping issues, and is requiring an enema/suppository to poop.  She is over 8 pounds now though! She is over a month old now.  She was born on June 25th.  It was great to have some new visitors.  I also got to enjoy holding baby Anna Beth for a bit.  It's so different holding a new born versus taking care of your sister!  I also am realizing it is going to be quite a lot of work caring for both you and Rose when we get to take you home.  Rose loves Anna Beth, but she is also sad that I can't pick her up anymore.

I worked on my MBA paper for a bit after aunt Daisy and Anna Beth left.  Your daddy came and picked up Rose so she could take a nap, and he could get a bit more done.

Then your daddy and Rose came back to take their showers for the day, have dinner, and watch Battle Bots! We've enjoyed watching the robots fight it out this summer each Sunday.


I was still having some cramping and odd pains randomly, but no bleeding, so it was a good day!

11 nights in the hospital as of now, and 40 days until we get to meet you!

Upcoming Events

Tomorrow I am going to watch The Bachelorette and try to get my MBA paper finished, so your dad and Rose are not going to visit.  I'll be sad to not see them, but it will be good for them to get to have a regular night at home.  I feel bad that they have been spending every evening here in the hospital.

It sounds like we should get to see how your growth is going on August 6th when we do another sonogram.  Just 11 days away!

August 15th is the 6 year anniversary for your daddy and I! We got married August 15, 2009 in Kansas City. I feel so lucky and blessed to have a good husband that is so low maintenance.

Your Ummichi will be here Friday August  21st for baby Anna Beth's baptism.  She will be here for a bit to help take care of Anna and Rose.  That is just 4 weeks from today, when you will be 34 weeks along and in even better shape to be born.

Love you,

Mommy
