The night before life changes

Scheduled c-sections are so weird...one day a baby is cozy inside your belly, and the next day you know the baby will be out!

I'm sitting here on the couch (when I should be sleeping) reflecting on the past 2 and a half (almost) years of being a mom.

When Jake was born on Dec 7, 2010, I was filled with so much joy. It had to be one of the best days of my life...meeting a little miracle made from you and your hubby. A gift from God for sure. He is all boy and I love it! Having a son is a blast!! Terrible 2s aren't so terrible yet and I love watching him learn new words and learning to communicate with sentences!

Now..I'm sitting here feeling kicks and rolls and anxiously waiting to meet my 2nd miracle. After Jake, I wondered how I'm am going to love another kid as much as I do Jake. I know it's going to happen, just hard to fathom- but I already love this baby so much and she's not even out. Will she be like me? Will she have Joel's perfect nose like jake- I hope! Will she be as sweet as Jake?

I can't wait to do mani/pedis...clothes shopping...boy talk...all that good stuff i did and still do with my mom! Such a special relationship between a mom and a daughter!

Joel- seeing him as a daddy to Jake makes me tear up, too. He is SUCH a great dad to Jake. He is sooo helpful and loves well on our son. I'm excited to see him interact with our daughter.

Tomorrow my life will change. I will be a mommy of 2- A family of 4. More money, more stress, more tears, less sleep...

But so worth it.

38 weeks!

I can't believe in LESS than a week I'll be a mother of 2! I'm so excited. This week was my last week of work, so next week Ill be able to get everything ready and hang out with Jaker!

Top of the World

What song is currently on my I-could-listen-to-it-forever repeat list??

Randy Houser- Top of the World

Perfect feeling good, I'm in love, feel good song!!

I'm not a HUGE Randy fan, but I'm really enjoying his new CD. Runnin out of Moonlight is another favorite from his newest album.

Check it out and let me know what you think!!

 
"Top Of The World"

Hand in hand, up on Lovers Ledge
Sittin' out on the edge
Our legs hangin', look at God paintin'
The sunset from this truck-bed
It sure looks perfect

Yeah, everything about this is right
And everything about tonight

Baby don't it feel like we're the highway
Radio turned up and we're the song
That's on it and baby don't it
Feel like we're a mile high
Can't breathe, you can see everything
Moon, the stars, it's ours, it's like we own it
Baby don't it feel like
We're on top of the world, top of the world, yeah yeah
We're up on top of the world, top of the world, yeah yeah

Make a wish before that star burns out
That's a little bit harder now
When you got what you want, what you already wished for
This kiss, this moment
Yeah, I just wanna stay in it

Cause everything about this is right
Yeah, everything about tonight

Baby don't it feel like we're the highway
Radio turned up and we're the song
That's on it and baby don't it
Feel like we're a mile high
Can't breathe, you can see everything
Moon, the stars, it's ours, it's like we own it
Baby don't it feel like
We're on top of the world, top of the world, yeah yeah
We're up on top of the world, top of the world, yeah yeah yeah

I hope the sun don't rise too fast
I want this moment to last
