Tuesday

The last time I wrote I talked about running into an old friend. For those of you who went to BHS it was Haley Hawkins. Her and her husband are living in Branson, have a five year old daughter, Haven and are expecting their son, Heston, any day now.
It is so amazing to see how much we've all changed since those days at BHS. Who and what each of us have grown up to be and do. To see some of my closest friends have successful careers and families has been really great. Nothing too surprising from anyone that I'm still good friends with but our ten year reunion, next year, will prove to be interesting I'm sure.
Nine weeks, give or take, and counting now before Kayler's arrival. Even though I've had two ultrasounds that say baby girl there's still a part of me that won't believe it till I see HER. We're going to have a lot of pink to return if she turns out to be a HE. Hopefully that won't be the case. I've done a lot of mental prepartion for having a daughter and for all of a sudden to have a son would be quite a shocker.
I'm a little anxious about after the baby is born and how I'm going to handle everything. Am I going to have enough help? I'm trying to get Justin convinced to take at least a week off from work when she's born. He's worried about not having a pay check during that time and I'm worried about recovery and survival. Hopefully he'll turn around and realize when the time comes that he really needs to be home with his wife and daughter. He's a hard working man but a bit of a work-aholic sometimes.
The nursery is coming together nicely. I still need to clean out the closets but we're making headway. Hopefully it will be ready in time for her arrival.
Lindsey--Thanks for reading my nonsense. Hope the transition back to work is going okay. I dread that day. Good to know you have a sitter you trust. That's so important.
