Week 37
Woohoo! Our baby is full-term today! In honor of this, Cat and I have had a very productive weekend. I guess it is really hitting us that there will be an actual BABY arriving soon.
We finished the nursery. Cat put together the Pack and Play. I started to pack my hospital bag. I finished the birth plan. We bought a pre-paid calling card so we can make calls from the hospital.
We also bought this killer Travel System. We were really torn on whether or not to get one of these but everyone we talked to in the past couple of days insisted they were worth every penny.
I can tell that Cat is getting very excited about the baby because he's been pushing this stroller around the house all day.
Cat's workplace had a shower for us on Friday. First of all, I have to say that Cat's coworkers are the nicest people. They are also happy and funny. This is a foreign thing. Nice, happy, funny people in an office building. No wonder he loves working where he does.
They had a yummy potluck for us and gave us THIS most excellent shower gift.
So we are very excited that our child will be riding in style, no matter what terrain we are on.
Gee, the only thing we are missing at this point is the baby. People are starting to place their bets on when he will arrive. I'm having contractions and starting to feel that "nesting" compulsion, but there are no other indications that our little one is ready to appear.
