Hopefully Coming Soon

Hoping, Wishing, Praying, Thinking....... Baby Peterson will be coming soon!!


I thought that I would write down some of my feelings about this precious baby boy that is hopefully coming soon! I am so anxious for him to come, and nervous for the challenges. I love the newborn stage and their precious little spirit! I keep trying to imagine what he is going to look like. All I can picture is my sweet baby Teague in the hospital so maybe they are going to look quite similar. I can't wait to hold him in my arms and kiss his little cheeks.


I do have some reservations..... and that is how Teague is going to handle all of these changes. I think he already senses that things are changing, and his reaction to this is to be a bit of a monster. He is really testing my patience, and is more than I can handle these days. He has already staked out his claim on all of his special toys, and his silky blanket. I think he feels he needs to do this because when getting out all of his clothes I told them they were his and now brother was going to wear them. He is pretty nervous now that baby brother is going to take over everything. I don't want him to feel pushed away or left out. We read books and snuggled in bed last night, and I can't help but think when its going to be the last time with just the two of us.

I love this boy, he makes me smile and is my whole world!!

My little snuggler. He is going to be such a good big brother. He keeps asking me to grab the baby out so he can hold him.


I have been dilated to a 4 since Monday, and quite honestly was hoping things would have progressed a little faster! The unknown and the waiting game is so hard for me. All day and all night I just keep thinking when is he going to come. I am having an easier time waiting because right now I am in Rupert at my parents house, and Kyle is in Pocatello trying to finish up a house. Where I am so close and don't know when he is coming the Dr (and I suppose us) felt better being a bit closer to the hospital. Kyle is keeping his phone close and said he would drive 110mph. We had an ultrasound on Wednesday to check and see how big he was since Teague was a little bigger than I could handle. I cringed and my stomach dropped when she said he was already 7lb 4oz. The tech said wow he is a big boy!! Great not what I wanted to hear but I guess bring it on. Just to compare things Teague was 7lb 5oz at 39 weeks. Right now I am 37 weeks, oh the joy of not being able to be induced until you are 39 weeks!

Teague and I have been hanging out at my parents house the last few days. Teague loves being out here, and it has been nice having extra help! I even got to have an awesome photo shoot with Jerica yesterday. She is so creative and takes the best pictures. I was kinda hesitant, but am so glad that I did it. I will have the pictures to cherish forever! I am now sad that I don't have any like this from when I was pregnant with Teague. I get teary eyed just looking at them, she captured some very precious moments.

I have enjoyed being pregnant and love feeling his little movements. Although now days they are pretty intense. It is such a miracle having a baby inside of you that you have created. I don't want to wish it away so quickly, because I know that I will miss his movements inside of me! I did that with Teague, even though I was holding him in my arms it was like I was empty not having him inside of me. On the other hand my poor body is so swollen and I think my toes are going to pop off any second. I can't wait to hold you little baby Peterson, please come soon. Help Mom out and not wait until I am 39 weeks! I love you so much already and can't wait until you come and join our little family, making us a family of 4!! Hopefully an update to come soon with pictures of our new little guy!
