17 Days...

I have scheduled my induction. We are on the countdown!

Unless I go into labor first, the baby boy Tripp is coming on Jan. 27th. I am quite certain that I will not go into labor early, though. Never once has happened. I always get to suffer miserably through those last few weeks & days, waddling around like an old lady. Swollen feet, swollen face, aching back, heartburn, constant trips to the bathroom, endless kicks to my itty-bitty bladder, it's all so enjoyable! I sound like I hate being pregnant- which is completely not true. I really love it. Just not the end!

I got the nursery all put together last week. It makes it feel a little more real. I never feel fully prepared for a new baby. It's always a big crazy exciting leap into the unknown.

So, excuse my lack of posting the past little while. I know for certain that in a few weeks I will have lots to say & show you.


Oh and the name, you ask?

Burton Roderick Tripp

Burton ( My Mom's Maiden Name)
Roderick (Old, old family name on my Dad's side)

I love last names for first names. A bunch of gals have done their own maiden names for their kids like baldwin and Sholer. So cute. Will you continue homeschooling with a new baby?

Karyn, I know you are super busy. I need info from you when you have the chance. I am considering home school. Can you tell me why you decided to do it? +? -? Will you be doing it through 12th grade?
