Awaiting Robert "Taplin" Bourne

Pregnancy is a very interesting process. The 1st trimester feels like it is never going to end with the morning sickness, the new adjustment to increased hormones, and new found anticipation of how this addition is going to change our lives. The 2nd trimester is filled with preparation, excitement, nesting, and a new found energy level. Well and then the 3rd is filled with joy, expectancy, a decreased energy level, and a growing belly (which brings adjustment to comfort level in sleep).

As my due date progressively gets closer, Kyle and I are anxious to meet our darling boy and to see his sweet face in person. I have found myself working on a "Baby To Do List" of items to get accomplished before Taplin arrives. A friend sent me a cheat sheet which has been helpful so I don't forget some things with this silly oh pregnancy brain I have developed. Oh and I am trying to not get nervous about delivery, so there are additional prayers added to my list for the whole process of the next 36 days. I am just thankful to have several girls to walk through this season with me who have either experienced this prior or are currently experiencing it. Needless to say here is a small tidbit of what's on my mind for today and what do get done in the next 14 days so I am well prepared as I am hoping Taplin makes his debut on December 7th.
