Oh hey. What are you up to today?

Oh, just working?

Me? 

I’m having a baby. #nbd

__

Well, today is the day. This gift from God is being born. We are so very excited and cannot wait to meet him.

Thank you, from the deepest parts of my heart, for praying and for all your well wishes. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to adequately express how much it has meant to me. 


A little housekeeping:
I plan on focusing 100% on the baby and learning how to be a mom for the rest of the calendar year, with an occasional blog post throughout the next couple weeks. So, things will slow down a bit here in the blog for the duration of 2013, and then I plan on getting back into it pretty regularly in January. As always, this is assuming everyone is healthy and doing well. If more time needs to be taken, it will be taken.

Again, depending on how everything is going, I plan to still be relatively active on Instagram, in case you want to see his tiny self. 

As far as content goes, I don’t plan on sacrificing my “beauty blogger” status altogether just because I’m becoming a mom. The blog may be a little baby-heavy at the beginning, but I am not secretly anticipating it will become a full-on mom blog. I’ll just ask that you bear with me during the transition time! 

__

Since my husband and I knew this was going to be a c-section, we both have mentioned to each other that it’s slightly disappointing* that we won’t be ambushed with a “MY WATER BROKE” moment. 
(*I had about 1 day where I felt sorry for myself that I wasn’t going to get to experience the whole “calling my husband and tell him I’m having contractions” moment. And then I pulled it together and decided not to stew on what isn’t happening, and instead to simply be grateful that there is a safe way to him to vacate.)

So we joked about me calling him while he’s at the gym this morning and saying, “JUSTIN. I THINK TODAY IS THE DAY! GET HOME!” right about the time he finishes his work out. 

Or, I’ll pretend my braxton hicks contractions are the real ones and waddle out to the car while yelling, “HONEY! GRAB MY BAG! IT’S TIME!” that is neatly packed and placed by the front door. 

But in all seriousness, I do think the car ride to the hospital is going to feel unusual. It’s such a normal route, but what we are driving to go do/experience is kind of unbelievable still. 

So, thank you again for your excitement and kind words. I can’t wait to introduce you to him.

Congratulations and good luck! It’ll feel surreal for a while. My husband and I still look at each other in awe that we’re parents and our kids are 3 (as of today!) and 21 months.

Best wishes!! I know what you mean about driving to the hospital. When we left for the hospital in Sept, I just kept thinking about how we’re just taking this route as if we’re going to the mall or another dr’s appt…but that when we drive it again, we’ll have A BABY in the car!! Blessings to you & prayers that all goes well!

only 10% of the people’s water break on their own so there’s lots of us who pushed for endless hours that didn’t have that experience either. And you aren’t missing anything by not pushing cause after 26 hours, I ended up in a c-section anyways. Congrats and enjoy your little one.

So exciting! That drive to the hospital to have a baby is so unusual. It’s the same, but so very different. I’m so very excited for you. You’re going to be a fantastic mama. I loved my c-section experience. Just stay on top of the pain meds and you’ll be great! Praying for you this morning!

My second boy was a csection breech baby. I wish you a healthy baby boy and a speedy recovery. Make sure you take it easy for the next few weeks! Also, make sure they check his hips. Being in the breech position sometime causes problems with their hips. My little guys was in a brace for a few months because his hip joint was too loose. All the best to you and your family.

My prayers are with you today. I had 3 c-sections and I know some people will say that they are horrible. Mine were very easy and the recovery was not bad at all. One great thing that a nurse told me after my last one was to massage my stomach (after baby is born) a couple of times a day. She said that I would be wearing my jeans within a couple of weeks. She was right! A week later and I was back in pre-pregnancy jeans. Best advice ever!

Enjoy every minute of today!! Praying that everything goes smoothly for you… and if it doesn’t, just try to roll with it. Your and your baby’s health is the. most. important. thing. Try to go easy on yourself the next couple of weeks. You are going to be experiencing feelings like you’ve never had before — extreme happiness, extreme fatigue, and just general crazy hormonal emotions. It’s TOTALLY normal. Just make sure to ASK FOR HELP when you need it… don’t try to do it all. Your job is to take care of that baby and yourself. Let everyone else do the other stuff. 🙂 Congrats!!

Katherine @ Grass Stains says · 12.13.13

I went into labor with my first three on my own and then had to be induced with my fourth (and she ended up being my only section, because she wouldn’t turn) … and although it was odd to me to “know” the date for the first time, I still experienced the same excitement and nervousness of all the other times. I am so excited for you and Justin, and you all are in my prayers today! Can’t wait to hear all about it. Take care!

Allison says · 12.13.13

Congrats Katie! You are a beautiful woman of God, and are going to make an amazing mommy! I know you probably won’t read this before the c-section starts, but I had to have an emergency c-section and I would do it all over again (minus the emergency). I told my husband I would rather have a c-section than go to the dentist 🙂 You’ll do great! Praying for you today!!!

Don’t worry you’re not missing anything too exciting with the water broke experience. Honestly it felt like I peed myself and I was sooo thankful it didn’t happen naturally in my jeans! LOL I hope you have a quick recovery and a healthy bundle of joy!! Congrats!! And I look forward to the baby posts as much as the beauty ones!

Yay! Blessings! Having your water break isn’t awesome, anyway. With my first, my water broke while I was eating dinner in a restaurant. Kind of the water-breaking nightmare, so be glad you don’t even have to possibly think about that!

Happy Baby Day!! 7 years ago this Sunday we welcomed our sweet Megan Noel into the world (by planned c-section, as she was breech as well – those December babies, I tell ya!). Praying for his safe arrival and for you & Justin as you start this AMAZING journey being parents. There’s no greater gift, except Jesus, that we get in this life. Thank you for allowing thousands of strangers into your life to be a part of this exciting day!! I’m more excited for Baby “B”‘s birth than Prince William and Katherine’s baby! 🙂

Congrats! I was induced with both of my boys, so I never got the “It’s time!” feeling either. But they were both born healthy and happy so I cannot complain. Enjoy the most wonderful roller coaster ride ever, being a mom is so much work and totally life changing, but so, so worth it.

It may feel like someone took your life, dumped it upside down into a jumbled mess, and walked away, leaving you to figure out how to fit everything back in place. It may take some time, it may be super easy, but know that no matter what your journey looks or feels like, it’s normal.

You will be an amazing mother – enjoy every moment of it, time flies by so quickly.

Congrats, congrats! Sending your family some Northern IL prayers, but holding back on the blistering cold and snow. Whatever your method of prep and delivery, every birth is different and special in it’s own way. Btw…you’re not missing out on the water breaking. Mine occurred at a busy & popular hot dog place during the lunch rush! I haven’t been back since even though it was 15 years ago.

Kate,

I’m so excited for you and I can’t wait to see what he looks like and how you guys are doing on instagram! 🙂 I am having a baby in February and I JUST told my husband last week that although I would not ask for a c section I’m a little jealous that you have it all planned out and just know the day. I feel like I’m not going to know when I’m supposed to go and I’ll end up driving 30 minutes and being sent home haha. Oh well 🙂 There are pluses and minuses to both I suppose!

I LOVE your blog. You do such a wonderful job! I just wanted to congratulate you on the birth of your very handsome little man! Enjoy every moment. Our youngest is already 5 and I can hardly believe those baby days are gone.

Oh this is so exciting!!! Will be praying for you today and the beginning of your motherhood :). You’ll love it! And having your water break is SO overrated – I’ve had it happen with my first, then had a scheduled c-section with my third (last July) and honestly, not having contractions this time made the whole thing much much less stressful. I actually miss the whole experience (and do NOT miss the first one lol). So enjoy it!!

Hello Kate! I am a long time follower of your blog, but I have never commented on any of your posts before. I am a lover of all things hair related, and have enjoyed your tutorials and reading your opinions. I have learned so much from you. I have never commented on anything before, but feel compelled to write today.

For the last couple of weeks I have been sending up prayers for you and your family. For calm nerves and a safe delivery. For a second, I chuckled to myself, because I was praying for someone I have never met, but being a blog friend and seeing your journey, I was just so happy for you and felt compelled to.

Welcome to the world. Mister David! And I wish you and your family many blessings and well wishes!

Hi Kate…I too, am a follower who has never commented, but thoroughly enjoyed all of your posts on hair and all things beautiful.

I am so very happy for you and your husband! It can be hard to keep our emotions and expectations in check during the throws of pregnancy. All the stories and possibilities of ‘when’ and ‘how’ these precious gifts come into the world can make anyone feel envious or disappointed, just to name a few emotions. I trust that you will discover, just like when planning a wedding, that it’s not about the way things start, but the journey we take after the beauty begins. It’s all part of our story and every one’s is beautiful.

I am so very grateful that I have the privilege of sharing in your story. Especially reading your post today. It makes me feel like “WE are having a baby today!”. Thank you for taking us with you.

Blessings and gratitude to you both,
Tina
(Mother of 3!)

Oh, congratulations! I hope he has a wonderful and safe entrance into the world.

When you come back, I would love to hear about the c-section recovery process. I can so relate to how you’re feeling. We were told at my last ultrasound that I may end up with a c-section. I have also felt that feeling of disappointment that we may not get that rom-com moment of rushing out the door, leaving a wake of forgotten bags and chaos in our path.

You’re in my prayers today. <3

so excited for you! and it has been so much fun following along because my daughter is having her boy this coming monday, dec. 16 – she has experienced many of the same feelings you have and it’s been kinda cool that you’re both in almost the exact same place in your pregnancies – enjoy your down time and can’t wait to see pictures 🙂

i am here to give testimony of how i got back my husband, we got married for more than 9 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do,i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted traditional spell hospital for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 1 week my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still live me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he traditional spell hospital casted on him that make him comeback to me today,me and my family are now happy again today. thank you traditional spell hospital for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact [email protected]. and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.

I lost my 5 years relationship during October 2013. My ex left me with so much pains and since then i have been heart broken and shattered. I have contact many spell casters and they rip me off without any result. I have Emailed so many sites online looking for a good spell caster till i was directed by a 22years old girl to Dr.okalo At first i never believed him?but after i did as he directed my ex came back to me, and now he never cheat on me,he love and respect me. if you have any problem i quickly advice you to contact him now on this email: [email protected] , i assure you that once you follow his direction all your problem will be solve and gone forever.
