Wow! Cannot believe we are actually here at the end of week 30!
In a way, I never thought it would come with this baby or any baby-- in fact, it was always just a dream that I would be a mom one day and have a baby that is actually my own-- and now it is my reality.
Sure glad it's happening.
I am intimidated & anxious but thrilled & tickled; calm but terrified and antsy but ecstatic! So many emotions and I am sure they will continue to surge these next few weeks.
The orange is because Baby Emmett weighs as much as 4 of these guys (3 pounds)-- of course I couldn't hold 4 nor did I want to buy 4!
Some things we still have to do in the next 10 weeks:
1. Wash baby's clothes
2. organize nursery
4. attend baby showers (my favorite)
5. pack hospital bags
6. register at the hospital
7. clean the house/ get puppies groomed and ready to meet you
8. get pre-natal massage(s)
9. celebrate daddy's birthday, mother's day, my birthday and 2nd anniversary
10. set up the porta-crib, put car seat in the car
As you can see, I kind of crammed more than 10 things into my list but there is still a lot to get done and hopefully it will help pass the time!
Here is to the countdown even though I know it's up-hill from here!
