One month left

It’s just one more month until my due date. Whoa. That’s scary. For 8 months now it has seemed like this date would never come, and now the baby could potentially come at any time (or a week or two late). And like Santa, I’m making my lists and checking them twice of all the things that need to be done before baby gets here. Luckily, Matt and I had a very productive week last week.

Last week I had my 35 week doctor’s appointment and found out Spot was head down. So let’s hope she stays that way. Everything else was good and my next appointment is set for the day after Christmas. 

We also had the chance to visit a couple of daycare centers. And doing so kind of made me feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The first one we visited was VERY nice, but also VERY expensive. The second was the lowest price and the smallest facility, and while I’m sure it was a very nice place and ran by very nice people, it just didn’t feel right for me. But the last place we visited was JUST right. It feels nice to have that item checked off the list.

We also had a tour of the hospital where we will deliver last week. They showed us the very nice rooms and made sure we were all registered. So once it’s go time, all we have to do is show up!

On Saturday I spent the entire day organizing the baby’s room. Ever since we first started receiving baby gifts, the room has served as more of a catch all for the pile of baby items we’ve received. Now it’s clean, clothes and blankets are washed and put away, and we can walk in the room without tripping over a Bumbo seat or baby bathtub. I just need to finish (making and) putting up the decorations. That will have to wait until after Christmas though.

The room BEFORE I cleaned. I'll post photos of the after once it's all complete.

 

Speaking of Christmas, we’re excited to spend the holiday weekend with both sets of future grandparents and a few future uncles and aunts. Merry Christmas everyone!
