Today is the day

Well since the date is officially September 28th, today is the day that Gracie is going to be born. At 7am I will be at the hospital for the induction. For all I know though I could’ve progressed since Thursday. I’ve definitely felt a lot more cramping and such since then but I’m not sure what to think about it since I’ve never been pregnant before. I had really bad lower back pain yesterday and right now she’s moving like crazy. At this point though, I want her to hold out a few more hours. I’m picking up Randy at 6 and from there we’re going right to the hospital.
Her name is going to be Gracie Lynn Beverly Rumble. The Beverly has been added in due to wanting to recognize my grandmother. As much as I don’t want to admit it, she doesn’t have much time left and this is one way to pay tribute to her I think. My family likes it and Randy is definitely on board with the idea.
We had a good day today visiting with my family. We brought Colby out because mom is watching him while we’re at the hospital. I miss him terribly already. I went to take Randy to work and he went to call Colby. We both concluded we would be lost without him. Then we had mom take a pic on her cell and send it to us. My big baby boy. This house is so lonely at night without him. We decided to go to Applebee’s for dinner since we didn’t have to worry about Colby being home alone and used our gift card to have our last meal as a couple without Gracie being introduced to the world yet. It was quite yummy and I have leftovers in the fridge.
Since I’ve been home I managed to slide the dresser out of the way to sweep/swiffer/mop the bedroom and tackle the rest of it since Colby’s hair loves to collect, put all the dishes that were clean away and wash the dirty ones, wash and hang up a load of laundry, and tidy up any things out of place. I don’t want to come home to a mess. I’m doing ChaCha and almost 2 days ahead to compensate for not being able to while I’m at the hospital. Then I need to hop in the shower and catch a few zzzzz’s since I’m leaving at 5:30.
I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m scared. I can’t wait!

It’s funny how much we miss our pets. When I was hospitalized for early dilation I practically cried all day every day because I missed them. But when I was induced two days after being released, it wasn’t nearly as hard to be away from them, for obvious reasons.
I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow! Good luck, I can’t wait to see pictures!

Gracie will share my grandmother’s birthday! This bodes well, my grandma is freaking awesome.
Try to get a couple hours of sleep if you can! Big day coming up!

I hated being away from Lexi and Duo both times we were in the hospital. Duo threw a big fit both times, once I was back.
I hope everything goes well and smoothly, and hope you get the birth you want. Get some sleep while you can!

Good luck Manda! For your sake and Gracie’s sake I wish you weren’t going through with the induction, but I respect that it’s your choice to make. I hope it goes quickly and smoothly, and that Gracie makes her appearance soon!

Good luck! I hope everything goes as smoothly and easily as a birth can!

GOOD LUCK, AMANDA!! I’m so excited!!

I hope everything went well! She should be here by now I am guessing. I love the idea to honor your grandmother with the name as well.

Hey Manda and Randy, congrats on baby Gracie! I wish I could read about her on your twitter page. I’ve been following your website for about a year up until now. My niece had a baby today– his name is Jax.
Congrats again!

Congrats to you both. Hope everything went smoothly! I would also like to follow you on twitter & I was but now I’m blocked, and i’m not sure why? So if you could let me know that would be great. Hope I didn’t offend you or something.
Take Care.
