I have LOVED being pregnant. I love watching my baby girl move around inside and watching Leo's face when he see's and feels her. HOWEVER, I am sooo ready to be done being pregnant. I can't wait to roll over in bed without needing any help. I'm ready to not have to beg Leo to give me a massage. Ready to not feel like Capri is going to burst through my skin, or trying to bust her way out of the birth canal a fist at a time.
I have all her clothes washed and ready for her to come home. We are so excited to meet this little girl and ready to kiss and hug on her!
Other news: Leo's mom has been having a hard time getting a visitors visa to come and visit us for a few years. When Leo was sick it took the embassey having to get phone calls from our senators office in Oklahoma to get her here 4 months later. It's just sucked. Well after she's made a few visits without staying a long time and proving that she's trustworthy they finally issued her a 10 year visa. Now she can come and go as she pleases! We are so excited for that. We were hoping that she would be here for the birth, but her plane ticket isn't until Sept 12th. I'm not waiting until then to have this baby! Howver, she'll be able to stay a few months! She's a wonderful cook and Capri is her first grandbaby!
Again, other news: About two weeks ago Leo and I walked into sacrament meeting during opening remarks when the 2nd counselor came off the stand walked to me and pulled me out into the foyer. He says to me, "We didn't want blindside you, but we're releasing you today so you can have more time with your baby." I just kind of looked at him in shock. I mean, I have a telephone and someone could have called it. They had time to do it. I knew that they had talked about it, because the president told me. But then I was made to feel like it wasn't going to happen and I was so happy. I loved my calling and being with the kids. Leo and I had been in Texas the day before and wanted to stay an extra day but came home because I was supposed to conduct primary. So I got to find out literally like 3 minutes before everyone else. This is the first ward I've ever been to that releases every single new mom. I asked a bishop in another ward if this was common practice and maybe I had just been missing it, he said no. Is this common practice in your ward? If it is, I would feel better knowing that my ward isn't totally wacked! All well, it will be interesting to attend adult Sunday School and RS for the first time in more than 2 years! I wont know how to conduct myself!
Oh, did I tell you that I'm getting induced on the 29th? Just 9 days away!
