Yes, three weeks to go. I'm officially full-term tomorrow, so I'm thinking that's a great day for a baby. Or even today! I feel....done; overdone to be exact! Ready to go. Ready to not be pregnant anymore (although I constantly remind myself I'm likely going to miss this someday.) Truly, I'm just so ready to meet this little one. This one's just felt different all the way through. Probably because he/she was a surprise gift from the beginning. There just feels more of an element of surprise to this precious life and I'm dying to see and hold him or her. Reminding myself lots that it's all in His timing....and soon enough. (Yes, I will be saying that over and over and over again!) :)
I think all is pretty much prepared. We completed our powder room remodel a couple weeks back and I love it! Didn't think I could love a powder room so much! I'm regretting not having taken a before photo 'cause I sure love the after! Yesterday, we finished getting Gab's new furniture completely set up and her old nursery set moved into the baby's room. I haven't ordered any new bedding yet (should we need it), but I'll probably just hold off until we meet this little son or daughter. Ronnie set up our new double stroller today (love it so far) and two new rocking chairs should be arriving in the next 10 days. I've washed all the windows upstairs and washed and ironed the curtains in our bedroom and the boys' (just have needed to do that for a long, long time.) Have a smattering of boys' clothes and girls' clothes washed, along with boppy pillows, and the infant car seat padding. Anything else? I'm sure, but really just feels like we're missing a babe!
At this point, I guess holding out for another two days won't be such a bad thing. We have tickets to see Michael W. Smith tomorrow night. He was the first concert I ever went to. We're taking Clay with us. Expecting it to be wonderful.
So exciting, Carrie!! I wish we weren't so far away.. I'd bring you guys dinner and take the big kids home for a play date. We'll be praying for that vbac and a smooth, uneventful labor and delivery. Lots of love from AK.
