Working and waiting...

...patiently.

Beck and I have been overhwhelming blessed by the wonderful outpouring of all the showers that we've been given.  I didn't begin to think that there could be so much stuff - and all of it so baby, some of it I'm only beginning to understand, and Little E's not even here yet!

We're just under three weeks out from our due date, and Little E's niece came  in to the world on the 15th of this month, happy and ready to meet the world!  We're eagerly anticipating Little E's arrival and each day I'm thinking of things to do to get ready for him - things I just haven't done yet, but nothing that necessarily has to be done.  I think that's called nesting and I guess contrary to popular belief, it's not limited to the mom.

I have a coat closet that I want to clean out and arrange.  I want to re-arrange our extra storage area - since we just used some of it to store some things from my folks and now it's a bit more unorganized.  I want to clean the upstairs area, and the downstairs bathroom still needs to be cleaned really well, especially since after Baby comes, so do lots of people.  I need to clean out the inside of our car, and the outside of the car.  I have a list of addresses I need to finish compiling to send out our announcements. 

Now understand, I'm not stressed about any of these things getting done, it would just lend me a greater piece of mind if those things were done.  Of course, with us  being just under three weeks out - he could come at any time, and I'm sure I'll be thinking I didn't get 'such and such' done.  Something tells me it'll be ok.

Another OB appointment

We have another OB appointment tomorrow - one of many that we've had, the most recent of which had us meeting with the nurse practicioner becuase our OB was called out of the office for an emergency.

We recently recieved word that Becky's sister may actually be going into labor tomorrow as well, so it's could be quite a busy day tomorrow.

Our OB appointment is the first of the weekly visits that we'll begin to make.  We're offically 36 weeks today, but tomorrow is our first of the next few weeks of weekly visits.

Little E. has been squirming around, as recent as just a few hours ago, quite a bit too.  Becky's been tired and had difficulty getting comfortable sleeping at night and staying comfortable all the way through the night, esp. since she loves to sleep on her back - she's been sleeping on her side for weeks - and continues to do so with a multitude of pillows and blankets to help make her comfortable in sleeping on her side.

Tomorrow will be our first real visit to gather information about weather Little E. will come early or if he'll just be 'on time' and Becky says that so long as he doesn't come before his cousin Peters, he can come as soon as she does, just not before.

We'll see what happens.
