January 12, 2012

so in less than 24 hrs I'll be in a hospital bed being induced... the hardest part about this whole thing is that I don't want either of my children to think less of me for doing this. Kaylee asked me tonight if it would be ok for her to hold him. I said of course I would be and she in return said you know he is still my brother even though he is going to live with that family. I comforted her and told her that she was right. I hate this feeling that I've let her down or that I'm doing something wrong in her eyes.

Today Is The Day

Ok so today is my due date. Ugh I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore. The sleepless nights are starting to wear thin on me.
As most of you know I have chosen to give the baby up for adoption. Mike and Cheryl are a loving couple that have a three year old son. I know that this is the best decision for my daughter, my unborn son and myself.
My four year old is coping with it the best that she can and I seem to be buying more stuff for her to make up for this. However, even though she is four I am trying to let her be as involved as she can be. She attends all my doctor appointments, has met with the adopting family, and I even allowed her to get the baby a few things.
 I know that I had started this blog for couponing but it also says mommy in the title so I figure that I can also share what I'm going through during this process. If you have any questions about me or my  plan please leave a comment and I will answer promptly.
