Anticipation

I don't have much else to post about right now, because all I can think about is Pumpkin's upcoming arrival. I have to say that I can't wait. I mean I really really can't wait. I'm now at that really uncomfortable stage where I want to kick in the towel and be done with it all. I'm sorry to say that it's at the point where I have opted not to take Aiden to a fun festival activity-which is sad for him, but I figure he doesn't know it was an option and it doesn't make a difference now. But to make up for my guilty conscience I blew up his little pool and we spent the day splashing around and he had a lot of fun with that.

I think I'm pretty well prepared for whenever the big day happens. I have everything washed, organized, and put away. I have the baby's car seat in the car already. I've been keeping up with the desk work so Micah doesn't have to worry about any of that. We are all packed up for the hospital, and I made my emergency contact lists yesterday. The only thing I have to do still is set up the pack-n-play in our room, which I'm doing this afternoon. Oh-and searching for another boy name. We have one, but I'm not sure I love it-and it just doesn't seem to fit the baby in my opinion. Life would just be so much easier if Pumpkin is a girl-I love love love our name for a girl :)

And of course not only do I want my body back again-but the suspense of not knowing has reached it's peak! I just want to know what Pumpkin is...and start loving on my beautiful bundle of joy. And Aiden can't wait either. He still carries Dolly around and wants to take care of her. Micah is trying his best to get caught up with all his work-and is begging me to wait until after the weekend (at least) and my family seems to feel the same way. I keep getting phone calls saying "don't have the baby yet-I am doing this today!" It's kinda funny since they knew this is a ticking clock that won't stop-and I don't have much say in it anymore. But I know they will be here at a drop of a hat when the time comes.

I love it when happy occasions bring families closer together. I can't wait to have everyone here and together again. And I was so happy that my Aunt and Uncle from Houston came for the afternoon for a visit with my mom. They are my godparents and we don't get to see them too often, so it's such a pleasure when we do :) But I did think it would have been cool to go into labor while they were here ;) Oh well...it will happen soon enough (I keep telling myself)!

So that's what's going on...a whole lot of waiting and anticipation. And then the chaos will begin :)
