Ever so close
With only 16 days to go, we're feeling the looming pressure of getting ready for our newest arrival. How can you go from an anal mother-to-be who has everything planned to the T to a Mommy of 1 who wings everything at the last minute??? Well, I don't know how, but that's me!!! I would have flipped had I been so behind before Olivia was born - but I hope it's not a sign of things to come with Zach!
Honey, Mommy promises that as soon as you're here, she will not procrastinate any more - you'll be her number one - or at least tied for number one!
Well, we're still set for the 7th. We go back on Wednesday for the "Up Close & Personal" visit! Boy, haven't had one of those in a while!!! We're crossing our fingers for progress, but realistically, we don't expect to see any. I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks, some of which are very strong, but nothing to make me think that I'm dilating any!
Zach is a hyper as ever...only now he takes my breath every time he moves. He's so big and so rowdy - there's not enough room for him AND my lungs!!!!
We did "finish" his room. We still have to hang the curtain and put up the ceiling fan, but overall it's done. I really like it and can't wait to share pictures! I think I'm more excited about airplanes that I was about butterflies!!!
Olivia is still doing great. She's learned to burp her baby doll, so I'm sure she'll be a big helper when Zach arrives. Josh is BUSY!!! His weekends are usually full of different types of commitments, but he's taking 3 weeks off to be home with me, Livi, and Zach! I can't wait for that!!!
I have to be honest - I'm tired!!! It's 11:35 and I should be in bed, but having the quiet house to myself while everyone is sleeping is rather peaceful. Even Zach's calm and still!!! I'm really hoping to finish all of my deadlines at work so that I can take a few days off before his birth. Right now I just feel like I need some "down" time!!!
On a brighter side, I was able to hang with the Ladies from church tonight. We get together once a month and gab (mostly about kids) and enjoy time away from the hubbies and wee-ones! I always enjoy myself, and it was a much needed escape after a stressful day at work. Zach was treated to Strawberry Shortcake for dessert - and he LOVED it!!!
In exactly 15 days and 9 hours I will no longer be pregnant and I will finally meet my baby boy!!! The clock is ticking - and despite not being ready - I'm SO READY!!!

It's soooo close! I can't wait to meet little Zach.....I am sure that he won't come out quite the full grown quarterback that you are expecting. Hee hee. Livi & Morgan are gonna have lots of fun with him!
wow! it's almost here! how exciting! i will be praying for a wonderful delivery!
We can't wait to meet you baby Zach! Oh, and I had a great time last night too! :)
I am so excited for you guys. Everything will fall right into place. Do not worry. Zach will fall right into the family and soon it will be like he has always been with you guys.
Don't worry I didn't even have a nursery for David when he came home! He just had a pack and play in our guest bedroom (since we were building our current home) and he didn't even sleep in there until he was like 6 weeks old anyway. Just be sure you take time to take plenty of pictures of him (I know Josh will take care of that ; ) and try to document his life just as well in the baby book. As the #2 child I wish my mom had worked a little harder at that...but we all just do the best we can!
