keatin = gone

Keatin is gone... :( Not going to lie...I am a little sad. And I realize I am probably more emotional about this because of being prego...I just miss her, and know our days as "mommy and daughter" are numbered. She is off to Storm Lake for an "early" Thanksgiving visit. Tomorrow, she will hang out with Grandma Barber and Great-Grandma Heeren...and on Wednesday, she will be with G & G Petersen. I know she will have a blast...she was really excited...I just miss her. I was kissing her before she left tonight...and she just leaned in and gave me a big one on the lips. :) Aaahh. :)

We had a busy weekend in Ames. Friday night, Bri and Tyler spent the night on their way to Marshalltown/Cedar Falls. Saturday, my parents came into town. Mom and I got pedicures (LOVED IT) and Josh/Dad did some serious football watching...went to church and out for supper...and Bri/Tyler came back late Saturday night (after bar hopping with friends) - they needed a place to sleep. Sunday morning, Bri and Tyler got up and left...and Jen/Joey were on their way to go to the CU/ISU Men's BB Game with Josh and Dad in Des Moines. Oh - and the doorbell rang and there stood Grandpa Barber...he was driving back to SL from the Quad Cities. He stopped for 15 minutes, and then was on his way back to work at the hospital. Jen and Joey showed up a bit later. 4 were off to the BB game, Mom went shopping, Keatin napped, and I did some school work! Whew! Oh - and Jen/Joey spent the night Sunday night, and stayed home with Keatin this morning just to play...and then took her to day care mid-morning in a swim diaper (apparently, Joey asked her which diapers/pullups mommy uses and she somehow pointed to the swim diapers that were shoved way up in the corner of her closet...seriously, would have liked to see that exchange). :) However, this did give our babysitter a really good chuckle...and me too. :)

Here is a picture I took of myself tonight - 36 weeks. The c-section is 3 weeks from today...actually, I will already have a baby by this point 3 weeks from now - AAHH! I have really been feeling/thinking/picturing a little boy the last couple weeks...not sure why, just the way it is... :) I go to the doctor on Wednesday...


Oh - and been meaning to invite everyone in all your "free" time...check out my counseling webpage at school. I have been working hard at keeping it updated - I might even create a school counseling blog at some point...we will see how much free time I have. :)
