OK, so I'm praying this baby comes early so I have more time with her before returning to work, but I'm also having nightmares of her coming early. I'm scared I'll be out of town or won't be able to get ahold of Jason. I'm starting to panic about the pain and the scariness of giving birth (not that I truly know what to expect). Then I get the thoughts that I have no idea how to be a mom or how to raise an newborn. I guess once it happens, they say you just know and have mommy instincts, but ugh........then I remember how tired I am during the school year and all the work it brings and I hope that our baby knows me! Soon oh soon....this will all just be a memory! I can't wait for her to just be here! We're down to 44 days (6 weeks left). 44 days sounds shorter than 6 weeks to me....and then I start thinking...she could come earlier, and then I realize this is going to happen before I know it!
OH, and Jason and I were sitting in the living room the other night and talking about how much our baby weighs right now and her approximate length. Then he asked what is an average length for a baby at birth. After I told him, he did the math and reminded me that this little one probably has another 4 inches and 3 pounds to go in the next 6 weeks. How in the world........where is she going to fit!??? AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ahahah This is crazy!
where everyday is an experience...
Us...the parents
Our boys
Our growing baby GIRL!
Our newest addition to our family...
ABOUT US
Jason:
Jason knows I have a blog set up for our family, but he probably won't be contributing anything to it, so I guess this is my chance to say whatever I'd like to about him...ahahah jk! Jason is a wonderful husband and daddy to our little dogs. He works at ONU and in his spare time loves playing video games and watching movies. He can tell you anything you want to know about literature...he's a smarty pants! He is the oldest of TEN children, loves the Indianapolis Colts, and is an AWESOME cook!
Karla:
I'm a crazy, over-dramatic girl who loves family and friends. I teach 2nd grade, and I"m loving that job right now because one perk is summers off! I love ice cream, polka-dots, Karen Kingsbury books, babies, the elderly, my husband, and my dogs. My life goal is to have twins and run a marathon. The second of the two goals, I completed in October 2007 with my best pal, Ryanne. The biggest change in my life was the birth of our little girl in August! She's my pride and joy. I LOVE being her mommy....not matter how many sleepless nights or dirty diapers I deal with! :-)
Reggie Bill:
Reggie is named after retired Reggie Miller of the Indiana Pacers. His middle name is after our great friend Bill who Jason went to college with, and who we lived next to while in Kentucky! ahahah. He's a cocker spaniel....and he's the BEST dog around! He loves to sleep, ride in the car anywhere we go, cuddle with mommy, and play with his little brother, Byson.
Byson Leroy:
Byson is our little baby dog....we got him in February 2007, and since then, he's grown about a trillion lbs! He's a fawn colored boxer with a black mask...Jason's dream dog. He loves to lick EVERYTHING with his gigantic tongue, chew things he's not suppose to (such as cable cords and ink pens), bite Reggie's ears, leap across the living room, and play with his daddy.
Baby Brynne:
Brynne Reece Aukerman was born on August 23, 2008! We love her so much already and cannot believe what a miracle God has given us!

Karla you are going to do great! I remember feeling the same way.. scared about labor and about being a mom.. but once it all starts happening.. just remind yourself that your body was made to do this and really that baby is coming out one way or the other and your body will make that happen! You are going to be a wonderful mother.. I am so excited for you.
