We only have have many weeks?!?!?!?!

I cannot believe it is almost time for my sweet baby boy to be born! Some days it feels like this pregnancy has flown by and on others time goes soooo slow. Vance and I are both filled with so many emotions. I cannot wait to meet the little guy! I haven't been to the doctor in 3 weeks so I have no idea if I am dilated or effaced or whatever else I might be... I have had some Braxton Hicks contractions this last week but that's it. No other signs that labor is near. Especially not this nesting phenomenon that I hear so much about. I mean yes, I have a long list of things that need to be cleaned, organized, etc.; but do I actually get up and do them? No...not yet. I'm still hoping this instinct kicks in at some time. If not, I thinking of just hiring someone to do it for me :)

I've got Jackson's bag packed and ready but still need to get mine and Vance's packed. Got the video camera charged and ready to go, but can't find my camera charger. Of course this would be the time to lose it! Still haven't put the car seat in my car. I can't even figure out how to get it out of the stroller.... I need to be doing all of these things now but I haven't updated my blog forever! Why do I already feel so overwhelmed?

Our plan is to let this baby come naturally and not be induced or have a C-section (however, God might have other plans...) So all I think about is where am I going to be when I go into labor? Will my water break in the middle of the night or while I am at a patient's house or driving down the road? Will it break at all? How many minutes are those contractions supposed to be apart before I head to the hospital? What do real contractions even feel like? Ahhhh!!!! I am so anxious! I am going to the doctor on Friday for him to start checking me and we get to have one last sonogram. I am really hoping that this visit will give me some more insight on what to expect.

We did finally complete the nursery! All the finishing touches are done! Here are a couple of pictures:


Our dog, Pookie, had to jump in the picture because Braxton, our other dog, had already been on the blog before. Now all we need to complete this room is our baby boy!

Please keep our family in your prayers over these next few weeks!
