3 Weeks to Go

With little more than 3 weeks to go, I figure I better finally get my ass in gear and get what I need...I have a crib, stroller and an exersaucer that were all given to me, but I still need a few other things. Realistically, this kid could come any day, as at 37 weeks it is considered full term. Boy, even writing that scares the crap out of me! Things are good, heart rate is usually about 144 or so, what that means in terms of boy or girl in regards to old wives tales, not sure. So long as it is healthy, it does not matter. Will keep you posted as time draws near...

The Final Countdown

So with little more than 5 weeks to go, I can tell you I am getting scared. Not so much of the labour and delivery(been there, done that) but at the prospect of starting all over again. Monday will mark the beginning of my last week at work before I begin maternity leave and although I look forward to spending time with Evan, it means that the new arrival is not far off. I am slowly putting things together and with not much room to spare in a 2 bedroom apartment. Thankfully, I have a good support system behind me and people have been more than kind in passing off baby items they no longer need. I will keep you posted as the time draws near.
