Two big days this week!

Tomorrow is my last day at my job. Although a little sad about closing this chapter in my life, I am very excited about the new chapter unfolding in front of me. I've made some great friends over the last 7 years that have become like family, but now I'm at a point that I have to concentrate on MY family.

Friday is bedrest check-in day at the hospital...I'm packing my bag like I'm going on some vacation, and its hard to believe that I'm going to be away from my home for 10 weeks! My poor cat, Delilah, is going to think that I've died! My hubby and I tried to spend as much time this weekend just doing totally random things like going to Dragon*Con and last minute trips to babiesrus to finish the baby registry. Its crazy to think that when I leave my house on Friday that I will be returning home in 10 weeks with a baby and dismissing my uterus. I'm sad that I will have to sleep all those nights without my husband. My sweet hubby that rubs my head when my snoring gets out of control (thank God that all the rooms are private!). He plans on being at the hospital nearly everyday and spending the night on the weekends, but we're the type of couple that do EVERYTHING together so this time period will be huge for us...but, its temporary and for the greatest reason every...

Life is changing drastically this week but I've never been more ready for change...ever...

  1. Jen, I send lots of prayers your way and *hugs*. I don't know if you remember me, but you befriended me on babycenter after I lost my son in July...you were one of the first to send me some support and I will forever be thankful for that. I am thinking of you and hope all turns out well for you and Cooper. I will be following your blog and praying for the best for you and Cooper. :)

  2. Ten weeks will go super fast! You'll have do lots of blog posts, online shopping, and watch some good series on dvds. Enjoy your last day of work tomorrow!

  3. I was just thinking, we haven't seen a belly shot in long while. You should take one before going into the hospital.

  4. Oh Jen, I pray the 10 weeks will fly by because I know how it feels when one is away from home for a couple of days let alone 10 weeks... You have to keep us updated all the time. Blog daily if you have to! Lol! Actually I honestly hope that on some week ends you'll be given a pass... :) Your cat is going to miss you but tell her that you have to go for some time and that when you come back it will be with a bundle of joy in your arms. They understand more than we know/believe. Lots of love and prayers! Mirna

  5. B and I are that kind of couple, too :) As much as I would welcome hospital bedrest, the thought of it makes me sad! I know B would want to be there (and I'd want him there), but I'd also want him home with our dogs, so they don't forget *both* of us!

    I know it will be long and difficult, but we'll all be thinking of you and cheering you on the entire way!!

  6. Yeah, Chuck is wonderful. I use to just kick you out of the bed or jab you when you snored :D Big hugs! I'll come by and see you when I'm passing that way!
