Babies, Babies Everywhere!

I feel like everyone and their mother are having babies right now! I know so many people who have just had their sweet, precious babies and I'm not going to lie, it makes me SO "hungry" for our baby to arrive! 4 weeks feels SO short compared to the 36 weeks I have been pregnant so far, but at the same time...4 weeks seems like F.O.R.E.V.E.R! :)

I have such mixed feelings about her coming early. On one hand, I am soooo ready to meet her, dress her up, kiss her little cheeks and see what she looks like. I also would love her to be on the "smaller" size versus a 10 pound, 2-week overdue chunker haha. On the other hand, I realize that she is MUCH easier to take care of while she is still on the inside than she will be on the outside! haha SO, I am deciding to take the next 4 weeks and ENJOY sleeping in, relaxing, and all that good stuff because I know my life is about to change in such a drastic way. When will I ever get to sleep in past 9:00 after the baby is born? Probably not for 20 years haha.

I added this picture because it looks like I might have dropped?? I don't know...

I feel like I have a lot to do to get ready for her to come. Kaitlyn will be here on Tuesday and I am putting her to work haha. She is most organized person I know and I am hoping she will help me with some stuff that seems overwhelming to do by myself haha:

Wash all baby clothes and organize closet

Nursery ready

Final shopping for baby stuff

Pack bag for hospital (include check-in form and birth plan)

Freezer meals

Maternity pictures (MAYBE. I'm usually not a fan, but maybe she can take just a few)

Other than those things, we will relax, sit by the pool, go on walks, eat ice cream (because I crave ice cream all the time) and talk, a lot. I also want to go to the Jelly Bean Factory because I have heard it's really cool.

So, that's it for now. I am feeling comfortable for the most part, very happy and incredibly grateful for so many things. I am grateful for my sweet, supportive and patient husband, wonderful family near and far, and healthy, growing baby. I am so grateful to be living in Walnut Creek. For the first couple weeks, living here was an adjustment (naturally) but I fell in love with the area very quickly. Mostly, it's the people here. I honestly feel that Heavenly Father guided us to the exact place that we need to be where we could meet some wonderful people! We are very, very blessed!
