So as you can see by my ticker up there, we are in the last trimester, the home stretch for this new baby to arrive. I am starting to panic. Like, major panic.
I have no crib for this little new one (Zach is still claiming it), all the clothes are still packed away, we still do not have the rooms 100% switched, my house looks like a twister has hit it (w/ the majority of the disaster from the little twisters that call this house a home). Abbie has gym meets over the next few months, and show choir performances, I am going to work til I can no longer work, and not to meniton Zach and I have been under the weather all week and I have gotten NO sleep all week. I cant win!!
I keep hearing from alot of folks, it will all turn out ok, things will come together, yada yada. Easy for them to say. Zach graced us with his presence 3 weeks early, which if this one follows in his big brother's footsteps would be in approx 7 weeks. 7 WEEKS. To some of you im sure are thinking....hey 7 weeks, that's alot of time. OH no really its not. Not when there is this, that and everything else that needs to be done, bought, cleaned, stored, found, etc. And thanks to the way Zach decided to come into this world (middle of target anyone?) Im sure my mother will not let me 100 ft of a store in my last month or so of pregnancy which means I need to get all my shopping and such done like....Now? Then there is the dr. appts and of course the ever important last hair appt before the big day, the mani's and pedis that HAVE to be done before you are up there in those lovely contraptions with your feet in the drs face. Everything needs to be nice and purty for the big day.
So dont be surprised of here in the home strech I am on here ranting and raving, trying to figure out where to buy the home coming outfit, if I need a new carseat or if Zach's will do, what to name this new Griger, and to find the ever important double stroller that is going to be a MUST have for haul the two little ones in. Oh and I will have to move Zach's carseat in the suburban...where do I put him? I cant put him right next to the new baby...or the new baby will look like a red target sign to Zach and Im sure Zach will have the urge to share every toy with the new baby. So do I move him to the way way back? Usually we save that back seat for the naughty kids (ok not really lol) but it is way out of arms reach and well, I just dont know how Im going to work it. Ohhhhh and what about when I do go into labor??? Who is watching the kids? Who will put Zach to bed when daddy and I am gone? What if I go into labor while Adam is at work, kids are at school......here at home w/ Zach and have to wait for Adam to drive back to town???
Now I am freaking myself out MORE than I was....maybe writing all this down wasnt a good idea....just makes me realize there is SO much more stuff to do then what I thought!!
YIKES!
