The Start of Something Grand...

After many family members asking if we were going to set up a blog, I decided it might be time (now that I have a little time on my hands!). For all you that probably know, I have been confined to bed rest since July 7th, 2009. The pregnancy has caused my blood pressure to raise a little more each week and they finally decided in order to get me to term, that I would have to be placed on bed rest until delivery.

I am set to deliver 3 weeks early (at 37 weeks) on August 3rd, 2009. As you can notice from my date of this posting, that is 6 days away! I cannot believe how fast it has all gone! Before I know it, Ms. Kali Elizabeth will be here!

I can say I am very excited and very scared at the same time. I certainly have no clue about kids! I know I love my 2 nieces to pieces, but that is about as far as my knowledge of children go! ha! Everyone says I will be a great mom and Tyson will be a great father and that everything will come naturally to us both. Let's hope that is true! My motherly skills include opening the back door and letting Starsky out to "potty" and when we go somewhere, Starsky goes to the vet to be boarded. I wonder if they have anything like that for kids? Hmmm, will double check! :)

Tyson has been working in ScottsBluff, NE for the past few months, so the distance has been really hard on us both. He wants so badly to be apart of the whole pregnancy experience. I think in the back of my head actually how lucky he was that he missed some of these "experiences" I have already gone through! ha! He is coming home tomorrow to prepare for Kali! I can't wait to have him back home for a few weeks and see him hold his little baby girl for the first time!

Hopefully all will go smooth over the next few days and we will both be able to rest up and prepare for our new little addition!

P.S. Kali has the hiccups right now...keeps bumping the laptop up when I am typing....I think she knows momma is talking about her :)
