This has become my new mantra. I find myself repeating it over and over during the day. Sometimes, I lower my hopes and change it to "I will survive today." Because, if I can make it to the kid's bedtime, I can do anything.
Pregnancy statistics: I will be 36 weeks on Friday. My doctor is predicting a baby possibly 2-3 weeks early. (Which means, after next week, anything is possible). Or else I will be induced about 10 days early "if I make it that far." His words, not mine. I have a stack of baby laundry to do, stuff to get out of storage (you know, like a car seat) and we have to somehow find a place to put this baby in our 2 bedroom apartment.
Baker statistics: Currently has a double ear infection, fever and bronchitis. Moved from crib to toddler bed so 8 o'clock bedtime means he isn't staying in his bed until 9 or close to it. Potty training put on hold because, as mentioned earlier, I am just trying to survive.
Lauren statistics: Full of energy; way, way, way too much energy. Preschool, piano and soccer only seem to make her more hyper instead of wearing her out like I had hoped. Plus, it means I actually have to be places at certain times instead of just sitting around in my pajamas, which is what I really want to do.
Brian statistics: In his last 10 days of school; it is crunch time now. After this, two weeks of finals which will only be worse. Pray that no baby comes during finals. Graduation, one week off (which is when we are hoping for baby) and then he starts his Bar Exam review course. So, we won't see him again until August.
Say it with me folks: I will survive. I will survive.

Good luck Hilverda family with all that you have going on! Congratulations to Brian on graduating from law school and to you both on the new addition. Exciting (but exhausting I'm sure) times by all, yes?
By the way, that last comment was made by Danielle, not David. Though he does wish you all the best of luck as well :)
I know there is a lot of stress going on in your life right now, but like your all too frequent kidney stone problems; "THIS TOO SHALL PASS."
I had no idea you were that far along! Congratulations. Anytime you need a break send the kids downstairs. We can run around with them until they are pooped.
I feel so bad for Baker. I just got over that crud. I had the flu, bronchitis and a sinus infection. I lived on snowcones (we have a machine if you want to borrow it) and soup for a week.
You will survive!
These are the times I so wish we lived closer. I would love to take those two off your hands for a bit so you could rest. I hope and pray everything just goes like clock-work and everyone is stress-free and healthy soon.
Sus, I am totally there with you I will survive! We are in a similar boat, but I am not about to have a baby, and Mike is not even close to being done yet. So, maybe we aren't in a similar boat, but I totallly get the no husband thing. I will pray the baby comes on B's week off. Hang in there! Love you!
