The Coxes

Here it is Monday morning, just me and Adyson. The house is so quiet ... it's almost eerie. My mother and mother in law have taken Landon and Hudson back to OK after spending the weekend with us. Contractions were strong and frequent throughout the night Friday, and the grandmothers thought they would come down and hang around Saturday to see if anything was going to happen. We were busy all over the place Saturday and by the evening they were not that painful, but they were so long and close together. No more during the night, so it seemed best for them to just head home for a few days.

Plus Jeremy left Sunday morning for OKC and he will be there to spend time with the boys in the evening when he is done at work. I have been able to rest a lot over the last day and half. Adyson is such a thoughtful girl. She loves to cover me up and surprise me with a fresh glass of water. We have been cuddling a lot in my bed reading the new library books we got Saturday. Our theme for the week is clocks.

Most of the day yesterday was spent playing barbies and coloring a very detailed pattern (for almost 2 hours). While we were finishing up coloring with her new markers last night, Adyson looked up at me with her huge eyes and just smiled, gave me a tight hug and told me this had been the best day of her life! I love how she is becoming so affectionate and starting to share her feelings with me. Tucked in bed last night, she fell asleep in my arms while I read her the Bible. As I stared at the peaceful child, I relived the last 5 years we have had together. It seems like only yesterday it was her birth that I was anticipating and now here we are sharing this new excitement together. She so badly wants a little sister. It seems that this one is going to be a boy, but God I know you hear this little girls heart and it would joy her so to have a baby sister.

Hoping this baby will hold off until at least Wednesday.
