This is what I spent my day on today. I actually thought I was going to go into labor last night. I woke up sick to my stomach and having contractions-but my contractions went away after about 2 hours. I was in an absolute panic @ about 2am thinking I was going to have him early--and I am TOTALLY not prepared! I looked all day on Wednesday for new PJ's and slippers for the hospital, but of course could not find a thing. So, as of last night, I had nothing ready for his arrival. I still needed to make the angels for his isolet and wash his hats and booties--I asked God if we could "please just stick to the plan"--Next Friday was really going to work for me :) So, this morning I went and got the things I needed to make his "guardian angels" (to me that was the most important preparation) Here is Addison's and below is Max's. I also made another one, but I have not yet gotten permission from his Mommy--so I don't want to show it yet. They really turned out cute, and I think will "cheer up" his isolet.
I want to say "thank-you" to Marion and Jason & Ashley and David for all their support and letting me honor their "CDH Angels" in my own small way. I truly believe that they will be with Kaden during his battle.
As for the unimportant "hospital bag", I am on a mission to find jammies and slippers tomorrow...

Kristi,
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! You did a fantastic job!
Oh, and I know what you mean about the hospital pjs...honestly, the times I've been admitted here in Cleveland, I've worn my velor sweat suit...comfy, but not so much like pjs! I need to get myself some, too!
Good luck on your shopping quest! And Mr. Kaden, do Mommy a favor and hang out inside her until Friday! (It's safer that way!) :-)
Love and Prayers,
Sheryl
Kristi,
ReplyDeleteWe're due about the same time. My induction is set for April 9th. You and Kaden have been in my thoughts the past couple days. It's crazy that they will be here in a matter of days!
I too had to search for new slippers and a robe for my hospital bag. It forever for me to find something. I hope you bag packing goes well.

Aww.. Maxtons little isolet angel looks great. I have already begun talking to him about mister Kaden and how he needs to protect him. I have also told him to help give you all strength and to help encourage you even when the doctors are telling you things you won't want to hear- trust me, they are not always right!!! I am going to now tell him to tell Kaden to stay put until next Friday! Love ya!

Those are so, so cute! And they made me cry when I looked at them. You are such a sweet and encouraging person to honor Addison and Max that way. Prayers to those families and yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing you have done. Those angels will watch over your little man.
ReplyDeleteWhen my baby John was in the NICU, another family who lost their CDH baby gave us a stuffed puppy who watched over John. We have that puppy in our nursery now!
Continued prayers for you....
What a thoughtful thing to do. They are adorable. STAY PUT KADEN!!! Just a few more days.
ReplyDeleteHaven't even given the hospital jammies a second thought. I better get busy. My due date isn't until June, but I know it will sneak up on me. Let us know where you found them when you get them... LOL!

What an amazing idea. Thinking of you and praying for you as the day comes when you can meet Mr. Kaden!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about you and praying for a safe delivery on Friday! Our angels are looking over Kadan and your family.

Love the isolet angels! We are praying for your family daily, Kristi. If there is anything we can do for your family from NC please let us know.

Those are so precious. Made me cry.
ReplyDeleteI know Corben is making sure Kaden will fight the battle! I think about you and Kaden all the time. I know your due date is close. I'm confident he will be strong, healthy and absolutely perfect. He has too many angels not to be!
Thank you for thinking of me and Corben and please know you are in my daily prayers. You hang tough, Kaden! The world awaits your arrival!! :) :)
How beautiful! What a wonderful way to honor some amazing guardian angels :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
Hey Kristi. I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you as you prepare for Kaden's arrival. I still have four weeks and I am super restless. I bet it is hard to believe he will be here in just a few more days!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristi and Craig,
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking about you and praying for little Kaden. Kristi, stay strong and positive and continue to tell Kaden how fantastic he is. Your little boy will pick up the good vibes from you and amaze everyone! We are praying for you.
And do keep us updated when you get a chance.
Hugs from the UK,
Ingrid, Alex & Alina
Kristi! You have been on my heart all day today. I hope you are doing well. I was worried that little Kaden was here (if that is the case I hope he is doing good!). I will praying for you, especially on Friday. Kaden's birthday will be exactly one month from Max's! I REALLY hope that things go well for you all. Praying for you.
