And by ready, I really do mean ready. His bag is packed, his bassinet is folded next to the bed, ready to hold him. His clothes have been washed in Ivory Snow, which is what I used for Morgan as well, and they are folded and put away. I have one more small load of last minute items to wash - my carseat/nursing cover, a couple little pairs of pants, a blanket, etc. Car seat is coming on Sunday, and will be installed on Sunday! My parents are even bringing the first batch of newborn diapers, so that's all done as well. I'm ready. We're alllll ready.
I am not looking forward to the birth. I want to see him, but am suddenly very aware that I'm going to be sliced open, organs out, in pain, and I've never had surgery before so I have no clue how my body will handle it.
Anyway. He's coming! And I'm trying to gracefully experience and enjoy the last week of being pregnant.
My next post will be our birth story :) Yay!
