There's not much going on at home right now. The girls are starting school again on Wednesday. Can I get a Woot Woot?! I am SO excited for them to go back to school. I've been waiting for this day all summer!! No more stupid calls at work to tattle on each other. No more dumb text messages 18,000 times a day. I'll know exactly where they are for the majority of the day, and not have to hear them complain about this or that.
Can you tell I'm excited?!
I'm also starting to really freak out now. My son will be here in less than a month and a half. He'll be an actual physical presence in my home in roughly 5 weeks. I cannot believe how quickly this has gone. Back in January this day seemed soooooooo far away. September?! It wasn't even Spring or Summer yet, let alone the beginning of Fall! Now it's here. Well... Almost.
I have a list a mile long of stuff I still need. I have my 3rd and final Baby Shower tomorrow, and several gift cards from the previous two showers. I'll wait until next week and re-evaluate what I still "need" vs what I still "want" and go from there, I guess. I have his dresser pretty much organized. M has to fix one of the drawers - the track that it slides in and out on broke - and once that's fixed I can finish putting some of his blankets and sleepers in there. Everything has been washed and folded. Older clothing has been washed, folded, boxed and labeled. His crib and changing table are up - I still have to organize them as they're currently holding random toys and such.
M is freaking out over one small, minor detail. The fact that we don't have many diapers in the house. Of all the things to freak about that's what he's focused on! Here's my issue: The newborn diapers, which are the ones M keeps wanting me to buy in bulk, really only fit a newborn for a short amount of time. Unless you have a tiny baby or a preemie that is. I have one package of newborn diapers and the newborn diapers from the "diaper cake" that someone made for one of the showers. All in all it probably amounts to two packages of newborn diapers. I hesitate to buy more than that ESPECIALLY since at my last OB appointment this past Monday, in which I was barely 34 weeks, I was measuring at 37 weeks.
This could mean one of two things: Either my son will be a big baby or I have a lot of amniotic fluid. My OB said if I'm still measuring large at my next appointment - which will be the 28th - they'll do an ultrasound to see why. If he's a big baby - he may not use all the newborn diapers we currently have. I've tried to explain this to M but I think he just needs diapers in the house to make him feel better.
This about sums up my entire life at the moment. Trying to get everything organized and ready for my son to make his grand entrance, keeping my husband calm about diapers, keeping the teens alive long enough to start school...
I think I need a vacation.
