I cannot believe that there are 10 days until Levi makes his entrance... but then, when I think about how uncomfortable I am on a regular basis... that still seems a bit long... ;)
I am trying to finish up preparing, it's just slow going with my waddling and all! I am getting my freezer meals shopped for, and then thrown into our deep freeze... I have his room ready (FINALLY), and the pack and play/swing/bouncy seat out downstairs... I've got the essentials... now I just gotta wash his clothes and pack them and my stuff for the hospital. Most likely I'll do it the weekend before... that's just how I roll! ;) HA! It only took me till I was what, 36 weeks to get his room done? But hey, at least it was done before he came!
We got new mattresses yesterday! To understand why this is news worthy, I must explain:
John got one of the very first sleep number beds from his parents when he was 15 or 16. Nice right? Well... that's the same mattress we've been sleeping on. It's ok, but not for me. I've been wanting a different mattress since we got married 5 years ago (Our anniversary is coming up on 10/21/11!). So... we FINALLY got one! YAY! I slept so good last night! Our old mattress, which actually is still in great shape, was moved to our downstairs office, so it can now also be a guest room. I had no idea the office was that big, but seriously, it fits with room around it an everything! So... family, we are ready for you to visit for the holidays!!!
Madilyn has been extra clingy lately. I've talked to a couple of my friends who have recently had a second child and they said a few weeks before the 2nd one comes a long, they see the preparations, and know a change is coming... they don't quite know how to handle it. Madilyn has been very attached to mommy and Grama. I have really been eating it up as much as I can, and probably going out of my way to "assist" this needy-ness of mommy... but it's ok. Soon, she won't be able to be held for about 6 weeks, and I'll have a baby attached to me, and this snuggling late into the night will have totally been worth it!
Keep us in your prayers as we enter this home stretch! Pray that I'll have energy to get this house together, and the meals together, and myself together! :) I am so excited to meet my little boy, and so nervous still about having a boy at the same time! I love that I'll see balance. I'll get to experience the daintiness of a girl, and the rough and tumble world of a boy. My life feels... full... amazing and blessed! God is really so good. Thank goodness he doesn't give us what we deserve, but blesses us instead! I feel abundantly blessed today!!!
Can't wait to post pictures of my sweet man, 10 days and counting!!! :)
