getting ready

We are starting the countdown. 37 days until the big day is here.....(I just wish Dr. High Risk would let me schedule my c-section already!!!) March 9th is the target date. I know, I know, I'm not due until March 31 but with the kind of incision I had to have with Jack, they don't let you go past 37 weeks. So....March 10 is 37 weeks and my doc does c-sections on Tuesday so that's how we got March 9.....a Tuesday EARLY in the morning.

Anyway, we have been slowly but surely getting ready for Brooke's big debut. I am getting so anxious it's ridiculous. I washed all her newborn and 0-3 month clothes this weekend. (it was only 2 loads since her clothes are so small). Her room is getting painted this week sometime I think. I got the swing out of storage at my parents house. And.............I bought a new car seat and stroller. We totally didn't need one at all. It's such a selfish little gift. We still have Jack's and it's in GREAT condition and it's one thing that I told Matt from the beginning that we didn't need to get because Jack's was fine. But.........I REALLY WANTED PINK!!!!!!! And since this is my last baby and since she is a girl.........Matt said I could have whatever I wanted!!!! And it was on sale at Target and so.....I went to Target and it was the last one so I bought it!!! And now I'm selling Jack's old one!!! RIDICULOUS I tell you!!!!

But it's super cute isn't it?!?!?!?!

Anyway, I'm thinking about getting our bags packed too. I have this feeling that if I don't, I'll need it and then I won't have everything. So I will probably start that this week sometime. I just can't believe that I am almost 32 weeks!!!! 32 weeks!!!!!!!! I am so thankful that I have made it this far without any complications. It's defintely a miracle!!! Everyday I thank God that I have been able to keep her inside and she has been able to grow. I may finally get my fat baby I've always wanted.....with rolls and all. THUNDER THIGHS even!!! HAHAH!!!

I always have loved Anne Geddes pictures and even when I was in high school I always wanted a fat baby. Like these cute babies!!! And I got Jack. He doesn't have any meat on his bones at all....but still a cutie patootie. I think Brooke is going to outweigh him FAST!!!!!

Anyway, I'm off to the doctor again tomorrow for my 32 week check up. Might be getting my first steriod shot but who knows. Dr. High Risk likes to change his mind a lot. But....by not getting the shot, that means he thinks Brooke will cook at least a week longer!!!! We like those words!!!

More pictures to come of Jack. I left the camera at my mom's with new pictures....so keep checking in for new pictures soon!
