Well it's Monday morning and I am wondering if this little guy is ever going to want to come out. I think I jinxed myself last Tuesday by taking it easy once I started getting a steady flow of contractions, because I haven't had anything like that happen since that night. Kevin did remind me that it was about 5 days before I had Addie that we did go into the hospital for a "false alarm." That got me excited to think that the weekend would bring us a new baby, but no such luck. What the weekend did bring us was our wonderful friends and neighbors (Danny & Min and babysitter, Emily) back home from holiday. This truly eases my mind with where Addison will go when we really do actually get to go to the hospital. Granted I am not technically due until Friday and Addison came right on time, so I don't have anything to be complaining about, but I am so excited to have my little boy come into the world. It's been such a fast 39 weeks of anticipation and I love him so much already that I am dying to see his face and kiss his cheeks and hold his tiny little fingers. Addison has been getting ready too. She has learned to say "baby" now and loves carrying around her little baby dolls, feeding them bottles and changing "nappies" (diapers). I'm hoping she'll be as excited when little brother gets here.
I've been reviewing my "literature" about signs of labor and ways to relieve pain and breathing and all that to satisfy this weird anxiety that I have about going back through this process. Even though it should be pretty much the same, I feel like it's going to be completely foreign once we get to the hospital...of course I'm in a foreign country so this feeling should be natural, right?
Hopefully we have news for you soon!

My goodness, he really doesn't want to come out yet, does he?! I was hoping and praying for news from you this weekend saying that he had joined the world. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he arrives early this week. ;o)
I keep checking your blog hoping for the "news" (I know you are hoping for the news more than the rest of us)... but try to take comfort in the fact that there are a lot of us ready to help & praying for you along the way. Take care & try to rest!
I thought for sure I would come home and baby Beckham would be here:)! Love you missed you and praying for you !
He is too comfortable inside. Tell him that we are all ready and prepared. Can't wait to see him.
You know I feel your pain!!! Still thinking of you and praying for you! I just love babies and am so excited for you guys!
