After two weekends in a row of having "Oh my! This baby may be coming today" moments...here we are on Sunday night trying to keep our minds off of it and just hoping that the next time really IS the "time" to go to the hospital. It is such a different experience to be ACTUALLY prepared for the birth of a child instead of it just coming as an early surprise! We've set up the bassinet and changing table, washed all of her clothes, set out diapers, put together the double stroller, and have done large stock-up-the-pantry grocery shopping trips-twice! I've even had a bag packed for myself and Nolan which has been sitting in the van for over two weeks! If she doesn't come soon I'm not sure what else I'll do to keep me busy!! Even Nolan told his baby sister to "come out now" today!
I know I'm jumping the gun, I still technically have two more weeks-but I just NEVER thought that I would actually be pregnant THIS long! I've been prepared mentally to have our little girl since my 34th week (since that was what my Dr. said was technically pretty safe). I have a new respect for friends and relatives that have always carried to their due dates...pregnancy is a lot different after the 32 weeks that I experienced with Nolan!
I really do like being pregnant and love the feeling of this little life squirming around in my belly. I'll take the heartburn, and the backaches to make sure she's good and ready to come out. I just feel like an excited child on Christmas eve just waiting to see what Santa brought me! Both Kenny and I can't wait to meet our little girl! Wish us luck, and any labor inducing vibes you've got please feel free to send my way!!
In the meantime-here's a few pictures that we've taken as we have been preparing.
