As of last week the baby is measuring a week and a half big and at my 30 week ultrasound she was almost 5 pounds. In a few weeks I will be having another ultrasound to see how big she is and at that time the doctor will decide when she will induce me.
I think we are ready. We have decided on a name (although we are keeping it a surprise), we have a new baby swing, a new car seat (who knew they expired?), and I even bought some diapers the other day. We still haven't arranged a bedroom or any arrangements for her to sleep, but that doesn't take much right? Griffin has been sleeping in a toddler bed in hopes that he will be ready to move into Reese's room by the time the baby is ready to move into the nursery. Last week Griffin decided to take his diaper off and poop on his floor...hopefully we can get past this stage before he moves in with Big Brother!
The truth is when I write it all down, it seems like we are pretty well prepared, but when I think about it I feel totally unprepared. I have been working a lot and May is such a busy month with Reese's school that I simply feel unprepared. I keep reminding myself that if every thing isn't in its place the baby will still come, she will still be loved, and the best part is she won't even remember what a wreck her mommy was through it all!
I've heard it said that God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, but right now I think God overestimated me! In just a few weeks we'll find out!!
