My belly feels SO HUGE! We had some pictures taken the other day that I'm really excited about. I waited so long to schedule this that they won't be developed until after the baby has arrived (I hope he's here by then!), but we'll put some on the blog when we can.
The baby is due to arrive any time now... Knowledge of this fact motivates us in different ways. My parents are going to go ahead and hit the road this evening to arrive here tomorrow. The plan was for them to "wait for the call" but with a 17 hour drive, that thought was unnerving. Ben is working a lot at the church and finding a substitute teacher for each event "just in case". Some days I cry (it happens easily these days!), and some days I'm just a flurry of energy because I want everything to be ready for the big day. Yesterday and today I am painting trim in the livingroom and hallways so that we can have that completely done.
Last night I had a doctor's appointment after which we went out to eat. We did this becuase we don't expect to be able to as much with a baby and we used coupons and a gift card at Panera so that we didn't have to pay at all! Then we had money to go share a cup of ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery (my favorite!). After eating we browsed the outlet malls for a rug for the baby's room... By the time we got home I was tired but BEN got the "nesting" bug! At 11PM he started installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a new doorbell, and a front porch light. And I thought I was crazy! :-)
Well, I'm not sure if we're ready for our life to change so drastically, but we're tired of waiting, so BRING IT ON!!
POLL OF THE DAY:
Give us your favorite boy names - we are still open for suggestions! :-)
