The Days Before D-Day

I figured the best place to start out would be Friday, August 7. I could go through the last bits of my pregnancy but it isn't all that interesting. What was interesting was how same but different this pregnancy was from Abigail. With Abby, I always had to sit up straight because I constantly had a head in my ribs. Not the most fun with a breach baby. This time I was getting shooting pains down my legs because Madeline was so low. We later found out when she was born that her head was even a little cone shape because she was so ready to come out. Little did she know that heading down was not the way she was going to come out. Naturally, the second one wants to come out the "normal" way and the first one didn't. Whatever. As long as I had my healthy, happy baby, I didn't care which way she came out.

So back to Friday...It was my last day of work. Of course, like last time, work was not too prepared for me to leave. I had only given work 6 week notice of my official last day which meant to them that they found my replacement the week before. Now, that isn't exactly a lot of time to explain everything I have been working on for the last 15 months. But, I wasn't going to lose sleep over it. I had Madeline to lose sleep over soon. HAHAHA.

One thing I wanted to do before Maddy came was to have just a fun day with the three of us. We decided that we would go to the beach. I put on my circus tent (maternity swim suit) and we all braved the beach.

We had such a great time and it was a great way to close out our trio chapter. The next two days Josh and I took advantage of my parents coming in on Monday. We went out on two dates and ran some last minute errands. Everything was now ready. The stage was set, the lights were on...now we just had to leave at 4:45 AM on Wednesday morning to meet our Cletus.
