4 More Weeks

I just realized it's been 2 months since my last blog. I am terrible at this. I often think "I really should write a blog post soon" but then I can't think of anything really funny or interesting or insightful to write about and the last thing I want is to bore people to death... But I guess you are reading this on your own accord so I really have no reason to feel bad for you.

Let's see, what shall we talk about today? Pregnancy? That is what is consuming all my time and energy (literally) right now. My due date is in just about 4 weeks and I am ready to go! Chris and I are both definitely nervous to go from being responsible for one human life to two, but we are trusting that God will take care of us every step of the way. Mostly I am just excited to meet her already! And of course I am excited to be done being pregnant. Those of you who know me know that I haven't had the most pleasant of pregnancies. Although this one seems to be going pretty well right now compared to when I was this far along with Elijah, so that is a definite plus.

Now I am just really hoping that my nesting instincts will kick in because our apartment is in dire need of a cleaning. Also, we need to get a new bed for Elijah so we can turn his current bed back into a crib for the baby. And that also means rearranging his whole room and probably ours too because I'm sure we'll have the crib in here for a while until she starts sleeping through the night. Luckily we have all the necessities right now (carseat, co-sleeper, stroller, swing, etc...) so we don't have to go out and buy anything in a real hurry (well I guess we will need to get some diapers). Also, we have been really blessed to have friends with little girls that have graciously given us all their old baby clothes so we aren't going to have to buy any clothes for her for quite a while.

So, in short, we are ready for baby Zoe to come! As Elijah puts it, "Baby Zoe gotta get out Mommy's belly!"
