Tomorrow is the 34 week milestone. Caitlyn is growing so fast now and I feel like my body is changing by the minute. Everything feels so immanent now that I keep getting momentary episodes of panic that she is going to arrive early on us. I finally understand the full meaning of the word "anxious" in a way I never have before. It's the craziest feeling of total anxiety about it happening too soon and absolutely not being able to wait at the same time. Sheer terror and total excitement. Huge quantities of both and equal parts of both. I just have to continue to remind myself that she's going to come however she comes and whatever the circumstances I will just make sure that I do everything I can to make her entry into this world a good one. In the meantime I'm focusing on getting ready for her arrival and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
In that fashion the nursery is almost complete and for this I am so excited! The crib arrives today and Katie is finishing up hemming the bedskirt and then all will be complete. I also ordered a few final essentials that didn't get picked up from our registry today such as the diaper bag and missing pieces of our breast pump. That is a huge relief towards feeling prepared.
Other things that still need to be done:
- Pack the hospital bag
- Reorganized some cupboards in the kitchen to make room for bottles and such
- Select a Pediatrician
- Lots and lots and lots of thank you cards
- Sort and store larger size baby clothes
- Launder all the new baby clothes and bedding
I'm sure there's more, but progress is happening and it feels good.
