Holy Moly! We are officially 32 1/2 weeks along on this 40 (probably for us, closer to 38) week journey! It’s just soooo hard to believe that you’ll be here in just a few short weeks!

We had our last baby shower (a coed shower hosted by all of our Uline friends) last Saturday. It was soooo much fun to be on the receiving end of such an awesome party for a change. It’s quite different than being the hosts. We’ve pretty much received all the necessities off our registry so we are all set. The only major things left are a high chair, pack-n-play, and an extra car seat base for your dad’s car.

Now we need to focus on all the other things we still need to do, like: making cabinet space for your things in the kitchen and linen closets, finding a daycare, solidifying a pediatrician, replacing the bald tires on my car, packing our hospital/diaper bags, laundering all of your clothes and blankets, deciding how we want to organize your dresser drawers/closet, etc. Maybe this is the “nesting” part they refered to in the baby class?!?!

Speaking of classes, we are taking CPR and Basic Baby Care this weekend. I think they are going to teach us things like how to bathe you, how to change your diapers, how to swaddle you, how to hold you, etc. I tell you what, I don’t know how our parents did it without all this guidance….this is a whole new world to us!

Well, I guess I should get busy working on that to do list. Wish me luck….
