Reality hit me hard yesterday!

So it has taken awhile, but finally the reality of baby bean has set in, like really set in! I took a mental health day yesterday, which was much needed, but I was so busy!! Any way I decided to try to do some things for this baby. Bailey and I went to the cities to pick up Brady's new dresser so the baby could have his old one. We also did some school shopping, Bailey had fun picking out his clothes, a boy that loves to shop, gatta love it! Both boys got some cute things for a reasonable price, so they are both pretty well ready for school, can't wait! I also purchased some bottles and pacifiers for this baby, that was a big step for me!

So anyways, while the baby clothes were washing and drying I unloaded Brady's dresser and moved that dresser into our walk in closet (I can't believe I have to share my closet with 2 boys) and Bailey and I unloaded Brady's new dresser and got his room situated. So while folding and hanging these baby clothes and organizing them into sizes, it really hit me, oh and the smell of the dreft laundry soap, I can still smell it!! This baby is coming in 5 weeks or so and there is nothing I can do about it! You all may think I am nuts, which I am, but besides that, it all just kind of felt like it wasn't happening, but soon we will be a family of 5, family of 5...... honestly I never thought I would get married, let alone have children... and 3 of them for that matter, 3 boys to top it off.......

WOW, I do have to take a step back and say that Rodney and I are so very blessed to have each other (ok I miss him alittle) and to have our beautiful boys and that we have the opportunity to expand our family with this baby! Family of 5.......... sounds good, the Braatz family of 5, I better practice saying that!!!

So that is my reality check and eye opener!!

Stacy I can believe you are having another baby. You are a great person and your family means everything to you. God knew what he was doing when he got you knocked up again...haha. See I love the baby smell also but I love the fact that I can pass them back at the end. LOL So is this it or maybe one more to the BRAATZ family?? I am so excited to see what this little bundle of joy looks like. It awesome seeing how happy you are. You deserve it.
