i am recovering from a few days of being a single mom.
mr. anderson returned yesterday after being gone for business---and i am so glad to have him home.
9 months prego, PLUS 5 small children equals exhausted.
(as if i wasn't exhausted to begin with)
seriously, all the single ladies...how the he-zeck do you do it?
many props and fist bumps to you.
so, i didn't get a picture with any of the littles this week.
i know, GASP.
so, i pulled an oldie out...one from when sweet baby kohen was just a few weeks old.
i picked this picture because 1) it's so dang cute and 2) i'm gonna have another nugget really soon and this picture gets me excited.
i love my little nuggets.
isn't he scrumptious?
i have a feeling this nugget in my belly is getting ready to make an entrance.
i have been early with all my babes (milo, born at 36 weeks weighing in at a whopping 7 lbs---fatty).
and i am officially 36 weeks today...i have been having contractions all this week...but they always stop.
a few have been pretty painful, which freaks me out because it reminds me of the impending pain i'm about to go through. (i give birth naturally)
mr. anderson says i shouldn't be scared but i tell him to shut his mouth.
he would be scared too if someone said "in a few days/weeks you will be hit with constant pain for 12-15 hours, and then you will proceed to push something way too big, out of your body. and it's gonna hurt. a lot."
so yes, mr. anderson. allow me to be a little bit scared.
cause you would be too, mkay?
someone just give me an epidural and i'll pretend i'm not a hippie for one day.

yes, tell mr. anderson that you most definitely have the right to be scared. heck, I got an epidural and I would be scared too! child birth is no easy task.
ReplyDeletebut you do make some really cute little nuggets, so I guess it is all worth it right? :)
hoping for a smooth labor and delivery for you!
I absolutely can not believe you are 36 weeks already! And I'm dying for your little "nugget" to get here so we can see what it is. I'm feeling it's another boy! And the NAME, I'm just going nuts to know what you are going to name it!!!
ReplyDeleteso excited for your new little blessing! :D

Sweet picture! I had an epidural with my first one and never went back (only two more ~ you so have me beat ☺)! But I would never go back. I felt so much better afterwards. Not tired and more like myself. Anyway, prayers for you that all goes fabulously! And personally, I am looking forward to seeing pics of another beautiful Anderson baby!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!!! I think the black & white makes it even better -- it looks timeless :)
ReplyDelete"someone just give me an epidural and i'll pretend i'm not a hippie for one day." haha love that.
ReplyDeletemy husband travels for work quite a bit and it is HARD with little ones. i can't imagine it being 9 months pregnant with 5 little one. you are a super momma!
ReplyDeleteI just had my second son, but he was my first med free delivery, and yeah...you have every right to be scared! haha but it is totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteWe have gone back and forth about natural birth. My husband's mom gave birth to 4 out of 6 children at HOME! She is a champ. I would love to go natural, but sometimes I think I will chicken out :].
ReplyDeleteepidural is the way to go! lol! looking forward to the arrival of your new bundle of joy!
ReplyDeletethanks for hosting ETC!
xo,

Praying for a smooth and quick labor and delivery! 36 weeks already?! Time flies. Enjoy your sleep now (or what's left of it :)).

You will do great in Labor! But I can honestly say - I am dreading that again! and super scared to face it again and I'm not even pregnant yet! I want another one, but I hate the pain!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not brave enough to go natural. I told everyone at the hospital that my daughter wasn't coming out until I had an epidural. Good for you for braving the med-free, hospital free birth...again :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a CUTE picture!!
ReplyDeletegosh you're so gangsta.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to "meet" the newest Anderson :) I have a BAD case of baby fever so I'm living vicariously through you!
ReplyDelete36 weeks - yay! Can't wait to hear if this newest little nugget is a he or she!
ReplyDeleteWe live in the UK and in the socialised medical system here most women have their babies naturally.
And most of them don't want to have a second child.
Props to you for doing this for the 5th time naturally! I'm 22 week prego with my 3rd and will be scrawling "bring on the epidural" in big block letters across my birth plan. :)
Yep, you sure do have beautiful babies. This week's picture made me all excited to see the one in the belly soon. Can't wait to find out boy or girl to add to your fun mix. Here's hoping for a safe and fast delivery:)
ReplyDeleteso excited for your little one to get here too! You have such pretty babies! Hoping for an easy delivery! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, too cute! Can't wait to see your future baby! :)
ReplyDeleteholy insane! you give birth naturally?!?! omg. i have no kids but that just freaks me out!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm 4.5 months preggo with my first and planning to give birth naturally. I'd love to hear your experience!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a whole lot of natural birth! For some reason I thought you only did the natural thing with your youngest (I thought you had epidurals with your first three), but that is amazing!
