It's amazing how much things change with each pregnancy. The love, anticipation, anxieties...those all remain, but you grow a little more reasonable (I'm pretty sure my hospital bag was packed at 27 weeks with Emma), life is a bit more hectic, and it's just different.
The past few days I've been realizing the reality of how quickly this baby's arrival is coming. I know I still have plenty of time (I'm 33 weeks, 2 days) but other than pulling out the bin of boy clothes, I've done nothing to really prepare for this baby. Poor little guy still doesn't even have a name! No diapers, nursery not ready, clothes aren't washed, no bags packed, no plan for the other kids, Oy vey.
This week I'm planning a target run with a friend due a few days behind me to stock up on the necessities. I'm also hoping to get Colson moved to his big boy room in the next week or two so I can start getting the nursery newborn ready. My nesting instincts are needing some order and plans and organization...,and a name wouldn't hurt. :) but at the same time, I am much more aware this time around that at the end of the day, it'll all work out. We'll have a baby, the other kids will be well taken care of, and the little guy won't mind if his onesies aren't organized in the right spot.
So I'll do my best to get everything ready over the next couple weeks and try my best to not stress over the small stuff. Easier said than done :)
wow! Less than 7 weeks until due date! Feels like just yesterday we were at the park and you told me you were pregnant :-)
