Wow, it's been quite a while since I posted! We are down to the 4 week mark for baby Kaleb to come! The doctor confirmed today he is head down and at the point where if I have any more contractions (like I did the other night), they wouldn't do anything to stop them. So glad we got to this point and all is well! While we are counting down the days til we get to meet our sweet boy, I feel like I'm running through these last weeks in freakout and panic mode. I'm sure this is normal, but I'll still explain...
Nesting. I'm convinced Eddie doesn't believe this is a real thing and just thinks I'm nuts. The last few weeks I've had several crazy days where I organize, reorganize, clean everything, and still complain that it's not clean enough. Eddie usually just laughs, well, until tonight... I bought a cabinet from Walmart to go in the bathroom and after putting almost the entire thing together (which took 2 hours), I decided I hated it and we took it all apart and put it back in the box so I could take it back. I seriously wish I could have gotten a picture of his face when I said it was horrible and I didn't want it. Priceless.
Work. We are in a super exciting, yet crazy busy time. Between the GLS and launching a church (not to mention all the smaller events in between), it's quite easy to become overwhelmed and my head to start spinning. If you know me, you know I put everything into doing my job well and making sure everything is covered. Which is where the biggest freakout has come to play. I've tried to make sure everything at work will be covered while I'm on maternity leave - I've trained people to do parts of my job, typed up binders with detailed instructions, and made checklists and more checklists. But I still feel unprepared. And while I'm excited at the thought of spending time with Kaleb, I'm not a "stay at home" kind of person. I feel guilty that I'm not looking forward to this time more, but I think all the busyness at work right now has me completely preoccupied. Praying I can finalize things at work and feel more prepared for my time off.
All the newborn and 0-3 month clothes are washed, the hospital bag is packed and the nursery is ready (for the most part). I think all we have left to do is order the extra base for the carseat, and install the bases in our cars. I feel another complete housecleaning Saturday coming on... Kaleb will be here before we know it. :)
