One Week!

One week from tomorrow is the due date for our baby boy! I cannot BELIEVE that within the next week we will be parents!!! It is so crazy and exciting and scary all at the same time. I just cannot WAIT to see him and love him and kiss him all over. I think that we are about as ready as we can possibly be. My next "regular" doctor's appointment is on Friday. This is when they will schedule my induction. Scary! I am really hoping that I go into labor on my own before that, but if I have to be induced, then that's just the way our baby boy is meant to be born into this world!

I think I am going to miss my big ol' belly very much! I'm so used to having it there to rub and rest my hands on, and it's not going to be there anymore--well, at least most of it won't be there anymore, haha! It's going to be so weird to not feel him moving around in there. I will not miss the sciatic nerve pain I've had or the swelling of my feet and ankles, though!

This weekend, Amy came over and helped me go through the baby's clothes and organize them to get them put away. It was too confusing to me, and she helped me SO much! In the afternoon, we went to Burlington and looked at all their baby clothes and baby stuff. It was extremely packed and intense in there! After this, we went to Target and Babies'R'Us to do some returning and spending :) It's so fun to have my BFF pregnant at the same time...and with a BOY, too....we can talk about baby products, share information that we're learning, and she will be able to practice on our baby before hers gets here!

Ryan and I put together the bouncy seat and swing for Baby J, and Ryan put together the stroller and carseat. Here are a couple of pictures of him doing that:
That's it for now. Tomorrow I have a dermatologist appointment, and Friday I have the regular OB appointment, as well as an appointment with the Diabetes doctor. When I'm not at the doctor's appointments, I'll be working for Onlineformals. I also need to throw in finishing my Thank You cards for our showers in there somewhere.....this is all unless Baby is born in the meantime. We will see.......
