All I need now is the baby! :-)

36.5 weeks

Pretty soon I am going to be a MOM and even though I am still trying to wrap my head around this idea, I am getting excited. I am getting excited to see what he looks like, whether or not he will have hair, what his personality will be like, etc.

The past 10 weeks Dave and I have been attending "The Bradley Method" classes for natural childbirth. It seems all this time all I've focused on is "getting the baby out". Now that Dave and I are starting to be more comfortable and confident with that, I am starting to realize I have to prepare for once he is actually here!
I created this master "to-do" list and am trying not to freak out about everything I still need to do before he is here.
I think the big things are that I need to pick a pediatrician, finish up the nursery prep, and I really would like to cook/freeze some meals while my mom is in town.
I figure all the other little stuff will fall into place.

I am hoping to post pictures and the birth story after he is here. I really want to make sure we remember to write things down when I am in labor so I don't forget!
I can't believe I am going to have a baby soon - eeep!!!
