Wow. Its been a long time. We've just been preparing for this baby to come, which, according to my doctor, could be any day now!!! CRAZY! I went it two weeks ago, and he said i was 80% effaced and at least 2 cm dilated... He took me off work for a week so i would make it full term, and now we're just waiting. In his words - "work hard now to encourage him to come out by himself." Ha ha ha so we've been moving stuff around, painting the nursery, cleaning carpets, and all sorts of organizing and cleaning. I started making the baby bedding the other day - i have 4 of the 6 bumper pads made and I'll finish those this weekend, along with the bed skirt and window treatment. Nate has started hanging shelves in the nursery and has been such a good sport about moving the things i need moved, and helping me with all the home improvement and cleaning without complaining. :) I love that man!
I've had two showers - one with my side of the family and one with my ward. I am so grateful for how many people came! After coming home from the second one, i just sat on the living room floor with all the gifts and tried to show Nate everything - i was so stunned by how much there was.... Tomorrow I have one last shower with Nate's side of the family. After that, we just have a few last things to buy and put in the nursery and we'll be ready!
Poor Savannah has been wandering the house with a worried look in her eye... She thinks we're moving again and it's making her nervous. The other night, we had just finished moving stuff into the nursery and were sitting in there enjoying it, and she was standing outside the door. We called her in and she was so excited to be able to come in with us but she wouldn't stay in there - she knows an even bigger change is coming soon and she doesn't know what it is.... ha ha ha she'll be great with our little man though.
