Getting Baby - Ready

Let the countdown begin - less than a month remains!

This is the big weekend I've been waiting for - lots to accomplish to ge ready for baby. Right now I'm waiting for the carpet cleaners to show up. From there I'll hit Target, Babies R Us and a few online projects. My goal is to be baby-ready by Tuesday, should we have an early arrival.

I have my sights set on March 20, but should baby get anxious and want to come out earlier, at least we'll have the place pretty near ready.

Admittedly March 20 seems really far away as the weeks pass (that is a week after my due date but seems like a safe bet since 1st babies are usually late, and selfishly I'll be on maternity leave longer into summer). Things have gotten a bit more challenging - I was so tired this week and sleeping is no longer the ambian-like experience it was a couple months ago. Lot's of interuptions between bathroom breaks and readjusting. And I'm sore all over - mostly from working out but simple things that used to be a slacker workout are kicking my butt now. In fact, even walking the dog is really tough some days.

I'm not complaining, because I still adore the whole experience, just saying I can better understand why my fellow moms-to-be get antsy towards the end.

Breaks over - gotta get back to work!

not ready yet...

baby, baby, stay inside...

wow - lots to do in February. everyone is asking if I'm ready for the pregnancy to be over. no way! beyond the fact that I love all the secret nudges, hiccups, poking elbows and toes; and not taking into account the amazing natural high I've been riding for months due to racing hormones; I'm just not ready yet.

no matter how much I do , there seems to still be so much left undone. lots of goals next weekend, which is long due to the holiday and free of any obligations or classes. I must wrap up the remaining items.

the other major factor, which no one but me seems to realize- is that it is so easy to carry the kangaroo inside, the chaos really hits once he's outside. what's the rush??

though I'll admit, I had Bid's little bundle curled up on my chest for an hour this weekend and it was pretty awesome (he's just seven days old). I do want to meet our little guy, just need a bit more time to make his welcome perfect...

Another fast, over committed weekend, however I did get out of training early yesterday which totally helped make Saturday more productive.

Hubby left for Vegas in the morning for the annual boys trip for SB weekend. Parents leave tomorrow morning for Costa Rica trip (sis joins next week) we were originally scheduled to go on...until Baby S made himself known anyway.

Everyone is off on fun trips, and I'm waddling around town trying to get the house ready, still lots to do.

Few minutes left in the Super Bowl - not overly impressed with the ads this year. Anyone else feel the same?
