35 weeks down, 35 DAYS to go!

Yeah probably not!  I went a week early with Dylan so with no medical basis I am kind of assuming I'll go early this time too.  As long as he's healthy and ready a week early is fine!  So...35 days or less.  We are pretty ready.  The nursery is done.  It is adorable.  It is Lion King theme but very tasteful with browns and sage.  I love it.  Just like with Dylan's room, Jake hand drew and painted a mural on the wall.  Pretty darn special that our kids can say their dad did that.  Littlest boy's clothes and linens are all washed and put away.  I have little things to do like sterilize bottles, bring the swing out from the basement, etc.  The major things I have left to do are pack for the hospital and put the car seat in the car.  I'm hoping I still have plenty of time for all that though.  I have 14 work days left and am SO ready to be on leave.  Being on my feet most of the day and carrying my heavy bag is taking its toll on me.  I have an ultrasound this coming Thursday to check the baby's size and see what position he is in!  I hope everything looks perfect, I have faith that it will!


I remember last fall when I was trying to get pregnant I had 5 friends either pregnant or trying to conceive.  Every night I would pray for their healthy pregnancies, deliveries, or to be blessed with a baby.  The sixth prayer was for conceiving our baby.  I am happy to say that as of yesterday ALL of those women have gone on to conceive and deliver healthy babies.  Sure, there has been fights with infertility, complicated pregnancies, and sleepless nights with newborns, but the prayers worked and what a blessing for all these women!  Now its just time for me to deliver my bundle soon and its come full circle!  Wow God....you done good!

I check in with Dylan to see if we have any concept of this whole "baby" thing but I don't think he does.  He will hug my belly and say baby but I don't think he comprehends what a gift we have coming for him.  Haha, that's probably because he will NOT see it that way for a little while.  He likes his mommy time so I hope he'll be somewhat open to sharing it.  I am enjoying every moment I have left with him as an only child.  He continues to become smarter, sweeter, and funnier everyday.  I hope I have the instantaneous bond with my new son as I had with Dylan.  He is the light of my life and silly as it may sounds...I think I'm his :)
