Below is a picture of 'The Home Delivery Box'...it's something that I don't like to think about too often, but it is in my mind more than I would like it to be. This box is the 'emergency box' in case I don't make it to the hospital. I am prone to having very quick labour so the midwife team has kindly requested that this box have a special place in our home...just in case the medical professionals have to come to me!!!! I am praying that this box will NOT be used.
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of 'the baby boy' - as he has come to be known in our house. Every extra twinge sends eyes darting around the room. I think that we are ready to go...bags packed, baby items washed/purchased/set out. Now it's just a waiting game...but life must go on. AND it does!!!
The bags are packed and ready to go...with medical notes at hand.
Moses basket with clothes folded in it ready to be used.
Today, I am looking after 2 sick kids with the cold/flu lurgy that seems to been running riot around these parts. Aleah seems to pick it up every time it passes by, and Samuel came down with the aches and shakes last night. So, besides not sleeping well because I'm being kicked and pushed on the inside, having to get up several times to use the 'loo', I've also woken up to coughing, sniffling, crying children outside of my body. Actually, I must admit that I have only really opened my eyes to check that everything was ok...Dean has been doing most of the night-nurse duties. He is really good and patient about all of this.
The next big job on our 'to - do' list is to get the Christmas tree and put up all the decorations. I have started with our 'playmobil' nativity set that is only out because it got left behind from last year. All things going well, we will pick out our tree on Friday and 'Deck the Halls' on Saturday...unless we have a new arrival then we'll just have to see how things go!
So, Kelli - hopefully these pictures will please you especially, and you'll have to wait and see if I allow a picture of the bump to be taken, let alone posted!!!

Yea Kris!!! I'm so excited to see this post girl. =) Hopefully you're at home delivery kit won't have to be used, but what a Bates story that would be huh? Ha! Sorry the kiddos are out of sorts. We'll be sure to pray for you guys at dinner tonight. I still think a picture (covered of coarse!) of the bump is necessary, but to each his own. Wish we lived next door so I could come over and help you with things as I'm sure you're tired and ready for this turkey to come out of his oven. Love and miss you all!!!
