Only 13 more weeks to feel my precious little man inside. It seems like it just got started good, and soon it will all be over. The pregnancy part, anyway. Then the real fun begins. I have loved being pregnant, and know that I will love each of his developments once he’s here. He is quite the little mover. Sometimes, it feels like he’s having a party in there!
Daddy is getting more excited about his little boy, too. We went to Shreveport a couple of weekends ago and did a little shopping. We bought the bedding, camo at Bass Pro Shop, and a few clothes. My sweet husband was enjoying picking out boy stuff. He chose 2 very cute little outfits at one of the stores. My sister in law gave me her crib last weekend, and it is perfect. It’s cherrywood, which is what I was wanting. So I have a few little outfits, a crib, bedding, and a cradle. I have finished my registery at Target and Wal-Mart. Now I just need my house to be built.
We went back to Shreveport last weekend to pay for the appraisal and get some things going on the house. We have been pre-approved by the mortgage company, so now we’re getting stuff together for underwriting. Once they give the go-ahead, we can order our house. While we were there Saturday, I got to pick out the carpet, cabinets, paint, countertops, etc., for my new house. It was so exciting! Our estimated move-in date is August 15th, just a couple weeks before Jacob is due. It’s coming down to the wire. I’m thinking that I might want (need) to start my maternity leave about a week before he’s due so I can get the nursery put together and finish any unpacking that needs to be done. I’d really like to have my house in order before he arrives. Of course, being just days away from my delivery will most likely limit my mobility, but I’m sure I can call on some family or friends to come help me out.
I really feel like I should be doing more to get ready, but there’s not a lot I can do at this present moment. So I guess I’ll just spend my time cherishing each bump and kick. He’ll be here before I know it.
