Everyone that knows we have been working on the room has been asking for pictures. Sunday we finished (yes, computer desk will be removed)! Paint is done, fan #2(first one was defective and almost caught fire) and curtains are hung. The only things left are the rug we ordered to be delivered, the crib to come (We will have by the end of the month...Madi's crib that a friend is borrowing) and then the BABY to arrive...which brings me at my next point...30 WEEKS!!!
This is very scary to me as time has flown by. We get weekly update e-mails from a baby web site and it lets us know "whats going on this week". Today I read it and one thing in particular made things surreal besides the fact that they say he is 3 lbs now. The statement went something like this; you have now reached single digits until he is born. SINGLE DIGITS! For those of you who know us know that Madison was born 3 weeks early (36 weeks). This means that if baby brother wants to follow in big sisters footsteps....we only have 6 weeks left! If he decides to grace us with his presence at the 40 week mark we have 9 weeks left. Both exciting but unnerving at the same time.
I cant wait to meet him and have him bring our lives joy but at the same time nerves are rising about managing two kids. Yes, people do it every day but it is new to us. I feel like there is so much more to do to get ready. I am trying to complete as many school assignments as I can before the delivery, I start my internship next week, Madison has started soccer, we are going to have the baby shower on March 7th, doors need to be hung in the baby's room, I need to get the carpets and grout cleaned....etc...etc....etc. No one wants to hear me ramble but I feel like thats all I can do at this point.
As a final thought...I hear there are bet on my side of the family on if I can keep his name a secret as I have never been able to keep a secret before. Well, the challenge is on!!! To up the challenge to everyone we will now place a friendly wager on who guesses the correct name before he is born as well as who can get the closest to the weight. The prize will be determined at a later date. GAME ON!!!!
