31 weeks, 5 days

So I am about 8 weeks from delivery! ;) Exciting? Yes. Frightening? Definitely. Overwhelming? Every day.

Yesterday I kept a friend's 10 month old and her 3 year old. Those two, combined with my own 2 year old made me very aware that life is about to get extremely challenging! Lennox loves babies but he loves to tackle them and try to pick them up. That's not going to work very well with a newborn and concrete floors, is it? I know I will be in better control of my own kids than I am of other people's kids but I am starting to get very anxious.

I did get the baby's bedding in yesterday (and some more clothes from ebay :)). I also discovered that the chair cover that I didn't use for Lennox's room actually matches the new bedding perfectly. Now I just need a few days of free time to shop around and paint and buy some furniture pieces... when will I get free time? Oh yeah, I won't. Oh well. I think I have decided that even if this baby's room is lacking in creativity and finishing touches, she won't be lacking in love and kisses from her parents and big brother. That's what really matters (that and how cute her clothes are).

Now I am down to seeing the doctor every 2 weeks. I think yesterday may have been my last time to haul Lennox to the doctor's office with me. Seeing an OB is so unpredictable. I waited a very long hour and 15 minutes (trying desperately to entertain a 2 year old) for her to breeze in and tell me I look fine to come back in 2 weeks. I wish I could just call her and tell her I look fine. That would save me alot of trouble. Oh, and the nurse went ahead and pushed me to the next pound even thought the scale was clearly not balanced!! The nerve.
