Tonight Cody and I went to the hospital to take a tour of the labor and delivery area...it was a good thing to do and it made me feel less nervous about it all. For some reaxon I am so much more nervous for the delivery of baby #23 than I was for Max. I think it is because with Max I worked at the hospital and I knew how things worked, and I knew some of the people....this one is just a mystery! Also anytime I think of Max coming to the hospital to visit the new baby it makes me start to cry... I don't know why-I think it has something to do with how much his little life is going to be changing. I just imagine him coming in and needed me to comfort him because he I disappeared on him for a few hours and me holding the baby and not being able to do it! Also somethimes I think about how much I love Mr Max, and it is hard to imagine feeling the same way fo another child and that not taking anything away from him too! For some reason this stresses me out! )if this doesn't make sense jsut know that it is probably because it is the late night ranting of a pregnant woman!) Hopefully it will all go ok and Max and I will make it through with as little trauma as possible. Since I am a bad blogger lately and I'm guessing/hoping that this will be the last one I do before the baby here are some pictures to my cute little boy, whose life is drastically changing and he doesn't even know it!
Max on a recent trip to St George. He was swimming with my dad and when my dad put him on the rocks Max said, Mommy take a picture...so I did-who could resist!
Max and his cute little friend Jace, who has moved... he asks about him all the time. I am just trying to convince his parents they need to move back to CA!
Cody's mom bought Max this cool floaty swimsuit, which he loves-even if he is just wearing it in the backyard....I'm not going to lie, it is pretty dang stylish!

You and Max will do just fine. He will come to love that little baby and they will grow up to be best buds! You know what great relationships you have with your siblings. The hard part IS making sure you do spend some time with him each day. It's your life that will drastically change my sweetie. Good luck to you all! :)
I experienced all the same feelings before I had Madi. I was stressing over how Jed would deal with it all too, and I'll admit, we did have a bit of a bumpy start. Jed told me to "send her back." As hard as it is, make a big effort to pay as much attention to Max during those first few days and let him help you out with caring for the baby. It won't take long until he just loves the girl and becomes a protective big brother and probably tries to help out too much. I was also worried how I would learn to love another kid as much as I love Jed but as soon as Madi arrived I was filled with love for her and her own little personality. It will all work out. Best wishes!
Max will love her...mostly. But that's what sibling rivalry is all about. By the way, I didn't know it was baby 23 for you...where are all the rest?
You will do great! I am excited for you. I'm sure Max will be the best big brother EVER!! :)
I second Naylor's comment: Its YOUR life that is going to change drastically.
I had a dream last night about you and I saw that everything went smoothy and perfect with your wee one's arrival. Peace to you Laura.
Good luck to you! I am sure Max will do great with his little baby sister. He will be a great big brother. I will keep checking your blog to see when that baby comes.
Baby #23! Get going, Laura! Man, you're -21 right now. :)
