On the Countdown

I started writing a blog post, but this past week has been so terribly awful that it was a really depressing post so I deleted it and instead I'm just going to shout out to those who made this terrible week a little easier to bear! Thank goodness this cold is on it's way out and we'll be snuggling this little boy in less than 2 weeks! 

My coworkers-I was feeling pretty exhausted and run down at work this week with a cold coming on and being swollen and pregnant. My coworkers are great at support, sympathy, helping out with my patients, and keeping my mind off of things. I had to take off Thursday and they covered my schedule and checked on me throughout the day. I'm grateful to work for a great dental office with great girls!

My friends- After I posted how sick I was on facebook and asking for prayers, I found there are so many sweet friends, old and new, that had kind words and thoughts for me. It kept me from burying my head in the pillow and crying the whole day long. Kind words can go a long way, never hesitate to give them. 

My mom & sister- By Saturday I was feeling a little better so my mom and sister came over for our last "girls shopping day" before we are slowed down by this little guy and his stroller, diaper changes, and hungry demands. Although I think my waddle and many bathroom trips slowed us down anyway. But it was great to get out of the house and pick up some last minute baby things.  

My friend, Kiersten- Thank you for bringing me medicine today! My friends have all offered to stop by and help with anything, even though they are packed full in their own lives right now. It's so great to have their love and helping hands when I need it. 

Most of all, Kyle- Poor guy has had sinus problems on and off himself. He has had to do nearly everything for me, especially this week and he's doing it without an argue. I know we are both exhausted, anxious, and our patience for each other is wearing thin. He has been running errands, taking care of the dogs, picking up things I drop, living off frozen pizzas, and watching my once cute face puff up. Plus being busy at work, working a new area of town and I"m sure having his own daddy worries for the big day.  I don't know how I  would have survived the end of this pregnancy without him. I'm a lucky girl.
