37 Weeks, 4 days pregnant. Let's just start with that from here on out, shall we?
Today was a good day because:
1. I am very nearly done packing my hospital bag. All I have left are things that, if forgotten, wouldn't be a big deal like snacks, a change of clothes for Jeff, and a couple of my most trusted and comfy tank tops that will be easy to nurse in once baby is here. I have a hospital bag. This continues to blow my mind. I realized today that I am a week and 2 days away from the day that Carter was born (38 weeks, 6 days). This freaks me out - only because I haven't cleaned the house in the way I want. I remind myself that the baby won't know the difference ;)
2. How much more Carter is talking is evident with every single day that passes. It's amazing to see his language skills develop so much. Watching your kids learn and grow is one of the most rewarding parts about parenthood for sure. You truly don't know how proud you can be of someone until you have a child. No question about that.
3. Going out for supper with my family tonight to belatedly celebrate Curtis' birthday. My cousin, Nicole, stayed with Carter and put him to bed for us while we enjoyed a child-free supper out. It was nice to have time with adults and not worry about Carter and how much he was eating, how loud he was being in the restaurant and keeping him entertained. Afterwards, Jeff and I went to Chapters with my brother, Joel and his lady, Sarah, for Starbucks and a walk around a book store. Really, can anything be better?
I hope all of you had a great day :)
