Coryell Update

Coryell arrives in 24 days! Eek! We are so ready, so excited, so nervous, so overwhelmed, so thankful. This pregnancy has been tough mentally for me. I can admit that openly now. I think it's better for me to talk about it than keep it in. I've been very nervous. I haven't felt all that great. I've been terrified and a bit disappointed about having a girl. I realize how dumb all of these thoughts are but sometimes the truth is ugly. I have fully relied on prayer and God to get me out of my slumps this time around. I have felt God change my heart thru the last 9 months and I think he has me prepared to be a mama to a sweet little girl. My wonderful friends threw me a beautiful and oh so fun baby shower in April. I received tons of cute girly gifts and just felt very loved that day. I was surrounded by best friends and that is what made it so special to me. I think at that moment I really needed to look around the room and see all of these beautiful friends and mama's, that took the time out of their day to bless me and Coryell. The room was full of friends from all different parts of my life and I loved every second of seeing them all together in one room. Motherhood is hard and it's hard to see friends regularly and really be intentional with our conversations and time together.
Anyway....Coryell is doing great. She's a mover, she's ready to meet her brothers and keep up with them. Her room looks beautiful. Ryon painted the walls a light gray and her bathroom is pink. Her bedding and decor is coral, pink, gold and turquoise. It's all just bright and fun. I have enjoyed getting organized for her. I have to give all props to Ryon though. He has been nesting for months and has done so much to get ready for her. He's made bunk beds for the boys, painted their rooms, made us a bigger kitchen table, forced me to get Coryell's room going.....I have been thankful, because without him, I probably wouldn't have much done. The C Section is scheduled for June 8. I have had some swelling recently with the heat and some contractions, but for the most part I'm okay. She's still laying very low and making it so difficult to lay. My pelvis hurts horribly. But it will come to an end soon! We can't wait to meet you sweet Coryell. And your brothers are super excited!!
