well it's been a rollercoaster of emotions the past couple days and i'm glad i made it through!
my sister in law was due july 3rd with her 2nd little one and her water broke 2 days before my due date. it was the most bittersweet moment i've experienced in ages. i was so excited for her, so excited to be an auntie again, so excited that the martyn family (although she's an arn...) would be expanding, and of course very excited our little guy would have a cousin so close in age. the part that really got to me was that because she lives in calgary, that meant my mother in law would be gone for 2 weeks to help her out. i was heartbroken. i had a complete meltdown that lasted for quite some time. and thankfully, for cameron and a great friend, i made it through it all and saw the positive light at the end of the tunnel. it was so hard not to be selfish at that point...and it wasn't like i wanted her here for me, i wanted her here to hold her grandson in the hospital and all that fun that comes with a fresh delivery. anyways, i got over it and i feel so blessed to have her and the rest of my inlaws close by. i feel sad that my sister in law lives so far away!
after having her water break nearly 4 weeks early, morgan lynne paige arn arrived at a very health 6lb 10.2oz on june 6, 2010. as far as we've heard everything is well and good with the little arn clan...hopefully they can get home shortly...hospitals are never all that fun!
i spent the entire day yesterday cleaning our house...and not just cleaning, really cleaning. i washed light fixtures, went through old boxes, dusted everything, swept and washed all the floors, organized the laundry room, cut up all our fresh fruit so it's convenient and ready to eat, really...i cleaned everything! it felt amazing to check so much off my list of things to do! i wondered all day if this was what people call nesting or if i was just forcing myself to get everything done as time is quickly ticking away (well....not too quickly that is...).
cameron finished the floors last night!! we were up until 10:30 finishing them, but they look fantastic! the stairs are done, the railing is up, the moldings are all back up...it looks amazing! i was so happy to have them done. i could tell cameron was overjoyed they were done. he works so incredibly hard at work and home so i was really happy to see one more of his projects be checked off his list. my life would be so much more difficult if i didn't have him. i realize every day how much he actually does for me to make my life easier...he's an absolutely amazing partner in life and i wouldn't have it any other way. he's like my superman who constantly rescues me. i love him with every ounce of me.
i've officially reached my 40 weeks today. this baby is fully cooked and the world is now waiting for his arrival. i'm feeling anxious for him to come, and part of me feels like he won't come on his own. as much as i'm dreading an induction...something about it just seems like it's looming over me. i have a doctor's appointment today, so that will hopefully stir things up a bit. we shall see...
