Going on 37 weeks along with baby number four and we're FINALLY feeling some baby fever! Baby boy is the same weeks old as I am along in my pregnancy so naturally we have been focusing on him and apart from those monthly, then bi- weekly and now weekly doctor's appointments I think we've kind of forgotten he'll actually come out some day... Soon! (I think I've remembered better than the rest of my people nothing like impending delivery and sleepless nights... Why do those start before baby is born?!....to keep it fresh on the mind!)
Just the other day in fact Tate noticed that my belly is huge! He's like 'whoa mom you're big! What happened?' What a sweetheart... So I told him baby Drake was growing in there and showed him that if he put his hands on my tummy the baby would give him a high five. Tate was fascinated and laid by me for almost an hour talking to baby Drake, giving him high fives and kisses and giving him knuckles! It was so precious and eventually Emerson joined in... They kept grabbing my tummy and saying come on baby Drake, come out I kiss you! They also kept saying over and over, 'mom! Two babies?! We have a baby! That's a lot of babies!' (That's what Tanner and I have been saying for about 35 weeks!) Baby boy I think is ready for baby Drake to come out so he can have some room on mommy's lap again, he lays, sits and cuddles into my belly to go to sleep then Drake kicks him right in the face! They're already prefect brothers!
So these next few weeks are super crazy! I've done absolutely no nesting so it's time to buckle down and get going! So far we've moved Tate into the basement bedroom and he LOVES it! He thinks he's very cool! He's such a good boy down there too ... And we have an alarm system so mom's not as worried either! (DirecTV sells them now so we get a free system, heaven knows I'd never buy one!) Now I need to get the nursery ready with all the cribs! I have all the stuff, sorta, but I've yet to put it all together and clean and organize it. I know I have lots of boy newborn clothes, I am not sure where they are for example! Plus, there's lots of paperwork and doctor's appointments to get out of the way with this adoption.... Three days away.... So we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off but that's what life's about! We wouldn't have it any other way and we're looking forward to meeting and holding baby Drake Keith!
