So close

We are so close to being done!

The bunk bed arrived this morning so the boys will be sharing a room by this weekend. Now, to try and figure out how to keep their clothes separate. LOL

All the baby essentials are in the house and ready to be installed. The car seats will be dealt with this weekend to ensure they fit in our respective vehicles. The crib will be wiped down and assembled in the near future (after moving Nic to Nathan's room) and then I can deal with the basket of baby clothes that need to be put away. I have a little more stuff to wash before baby arrives (toys, bottles, soothers, etc) but I'm essentially done with that.

I have started to pack my hospital bag. My toiletries are set except for my glasses and I've got most of the socks, undies and jammies that I need. I still need to figure out what I'm taking for the baby but that'll be done in the near future too.

Giving in a little to my OCD side, I have packed a small emergency bag for in the vehicle. Nothing much, just a couple of towels, a snot sucker and some garbage bags. An online friend, who is also pregnant right now, asked what that was for. My response was in case I go into labour while we're out and about, I can sit or lay on the garbage bags and towels and not bleed or leak amniotic fluid on the seats of the vehicles. It seems logical to me...LOL OK, I'm paranoid and a little OCD but if it makes the Mommy happy then it is all right!

7 Weeks 2 days left until my expected due date...It's coming faster than I thought.

Wow that's actually pretty smart thinking.

Ahhh, I can't believe it's so close! But I think you should have a little talk with that baby about who's boss, and staying put until Mommy has safely arrived at the hospital!

Erin thinks I'm wierd for packing an emergency bag. She thinks I'm over thinking...(pout)

As for talking to this baby...I was induced with both Nathan and Nicholas so I am VERY paranoid that I'm going to go into labour on my own and he's going to be a GIANT baby.

I feel like a first timer when I think about going into labour on my own. And because of history, I think he'll be a biggie.

No...I don't think you're weird...just a little tiny bit off...LOL LOL LOL...sorry again!!! LOL.

All kidding aside, it's probably a good idea, I just hadn't heard of anyone who ever did it, that's why I asked!
