I am 37 weeks pregnant. This is not hard for me to believe because I'm huge, barely sleeping, and ready to have a baby! I'm still having lots of contractions though nothing that is evidently putting me into labor. While I would dearly love to have this baby out of me I am of course happy for every day that he gets a little bigger and healtheir inside. I'm also still not sure I'm ready to have two! :)

Our house is a lot more ready now though. We powered through most of my to-do list over the course of a weekend and few days. The clothes and blankets have been washed, oohed over, folded and put away. The bassinet is out of the closet (though not yet assembled). The baby carseat is freshly cleaned and the baby bundler is inside of it to keep the tiny little guy warm.

The coming home outfit has arrived although I haven't sent back the first one that was way too big. Our current one is adorable and actually the right size (and since I'm writing this after the fact and pre-dating it) we have an adorable matching hat and bootie set from Aunt Laura. Okay, so I'm still looking for a little brown jacket for him, but I do have one in blue that I can use if I don't find another... :)

I bought some diapers to see us through the first few days and remembered why I hate disposable diapers. Hopefully, all will go well and we won't need to buy more than what I have. I have my childcare worked out in a way that I feel pretty good about so that's been a huge relief to me. I'll be getting some meals from both MOPS and the ladies at my church so that's nice to know about as well.

It's crazy to think that this little baby who currently feels like nothing but kicking feet and elbows will be here in a matter of weeks and will be nothing more than a lumpy little sack of mashed potatoes (as Andrew likes to say).

There still are some things I want to get done before his arrival, but we're working our way through those and really to-do lists can be done or not without much consequence. At this point I'm definitely ready to meet this little guy. Oh, and if you haven't heard yet...YES we have a name picked out and NO we're not sharing. :)
