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!
