Before the holidays, I kept telling myself "Don't worry about or even think about the baby coming until after the holidays." So if I would think of things I needed to get done, I would just add them to a list that I would then tuck away until after the holidays. Well, somehow "after the holidays" came much faster than I anticipated. Since coming home, I have made about 100 "To Do Before the Baby Comes" lists. I have a list of things to clean and organize, things to buy, things to do with Ava, things to make. Thanks to Christmas and my birthday, I have most of the big things we needed for him, we just need clothes and diapers and a few other small things. We bought an airplane ticket for Bryson's mom to come out when the baby is born...which makes me feel about a million times better knowing she will be here to help with him and with Ava. I can't imagine a better person to be here to help during that time - she is amazing!
Now, we are down to 60 days until his due date. And I feel like we have so much to do. But then again, in all honesty, he could come tomorrow and we would be pretty much ready for him. Most importantly I just want to soak in the next 2 months with Ava as my only child. As much as I tell myself I will still give her as much of my attention even after the baby comes, I know that is impossible. So for now, I am going to spend as much time cuddling, dancing, singing, running around outside and kissing my sweet baby girl who I adore with all my heart.
