Prepared

Are you ever really 

ready to bring a baby home?

My guess is probably not.

But let me tell you,

something inside me clicked

(or maybe snapped, depends how you look at it!)

and I have been nesting like never before!

I thought it was bad a couple months ago.

It doesn't even compare.

Friday I was cleaning the bathroom,

a normal chore.

When I decided to scrub the baseboards.

Thursday I was cooking lunch,

when I got frustrated trying to find a spice.

Sure enough,

by the end of the afternoon

each and every cupboard in the kitchen

had been emptied, cleaned and reorganized.

We've got everything ready to go,

washed, scrubbed, prepped.

Now all we have to do is wait.

Last night for the first time,

I thought it may be it.

I was having the worst Braxton-Hicks 

contractions yet

(can I just get an "Amen" from all the

women out there who hate them as much as I do?)

and they had somewhat of a pattern.

Within about 20 minutes or so,

they began to subside and 

after a bath they were gone.

As happy as I would have been to have her here today,

I am glad she's staying in a bit longer.

She is (I am?) someone is, 

full term on Tuesday.

ANYTIME after that,

she can come!

Lately,

I have been doing my best to finish off

the pregnancy enjoying it to the fullest.

Spending quality time with Spencer,

relaxing by the pool,

sleeping when I'm tired,

enjoying time with friends,

journalling and getting the finishing items in her room ready.
