So, here we are... less that a month to go until baby day arrives, and I have to admit, I'm starting to get more than anxious to be done with being pregs and craving to have munchkin out and about!
As strange as it may sound, I have conversations with her at night. She doesn't say much ;) but I like to tell her that she's doing great and if she's feeling too cramped in there, she's welcome to join us all out here. Though whenever I mention that, she seems to hunker down as if to say "no thank you, I've got a good thing going on right now."
However, on the flip side, I'm a little freaked out about the reality of it all. LOL. Another part of my mind is constantly asking...
- Are we really ready?
- Will we be good parents?
- What if.... (fill in the blank with anything possible)
And are we ready? Well, I think mentally we're as ready as we're going to be, but I still feel like there's a tonne of stuff to get done around the house. For example... the crib still needs to be set up.
I'm proud to say I have packed a bag for the hospital already though, just in case. It was the strangest procedure to go through so far. I mean, in my adult life, I've never spent a night in the hospital, let alone a few nights. And I've never had a baby before... so the 'planner extraordinaire' is in completely foreign territory now. What on earth do you bring with you?
I've gone over tonnes of suggested lists, got advise from friends, and then, just ended up winging it for the most part. I think I've got the essentials covered, but really... I guess I'll find out when we're there. Luckily either Brian or mom could grab something for me if needed, seeing as the hospital is only about 10 mins away.
So the big question(s) comes down to... what have I missed preparing? and when is she really going to arrive?
I suppose I have to learn patience and trust that time will reveal the answers to both.
