Wow we are really in the homestretch aren't we? I totally feel like it's actually sinking in that soon we will be a family of 4! I could not be more excited about that. I am so thankful for a healthy pregnancy, and for this sweet baby girl who we will meet in just a few months. My heart is so full.
This week I had a mini panic attack while talking to Alex. I was starting to feel completely unprepared to welcome a baby into the world. I am a planner which I have mentioned on here before, I need things very organized to feel ready and to feel like I will be successful. I had things so organized with Lucy it was crazy, I also had all the time in the world to get things ready for Lucy.
The next few days after that conversation were spent switching out dressers in Lucy's room and ours, and getting a mattress pad for little E's crib. I also went through ALL of Lucy's newborn clothes and folded all the ones I knew I would use at first and put them in the dresser, as well as a box of newborn diapers. I felt 100 times better after we did all of that. Lucy's room looks a little sad.. but it's all in transition anyway, and I really can't justify re-decorating when we will be moving in a few months ;) So for now she just has a lot of toys in her room, I really don't think she minds.
Playing with the big Ole box!
Cannot wait for tiny little buns to fill these pants
I ordered this from target for $11 still need to glam it up with some gold paint ;)
Went to the Dr this week, and everything looks good. He said I was experiencing pre-term labor with my contractions and to just keep doing what I am doing. Tylenol, hydrate and elevate my feet when I feel contractions coming on. He said other than that everything looks great!
This week was fun, filled with getting things organized for baby E, just what I wanted!
I promise one of these days for a real picture ;) This is just WAY easier!

Best moment of this week: Watching everything come together for baby E's room. Organizing all her clothes, and diapers, and crib etc. I am so weird but organization totally soothes me!
