Are you ready?

Well, actually NO.

No, I'm not ready for the baby that's coming "any day now" (as my doctor would say). At my appointment last week, my doctor asked if we had everything ready. I started to laugh because my husband and I looked at each other the other night and realized we had NOTHING ready for this baby.

With your first baby, you are ready for at least 4 months before that little one comes. With the second....life tends to get in the way of preparing for a new addition to your family.

We had no diapers, no bed, no clothes ready, NOTHING for this 2nd baby.....poor thing.

So, today, we went shopping and got everything that a baby could ever need: diapers, onesies, and pacifiers. I found my breast pump in storage, we put up the bassinet and got all the neutral clothes ready. I'm washing blankets and we're good to go!

All that's left is to pack a bag and wait for the baby. I have a feel that I won't make it many more weeks. My official due date is March 9th, but I'm having a scheduled c-section (don't know that date)....which is suspect is either very late Feb. or the first couple of days in March. But, this baby is pushing lower and lower each day. I wake up at night with sharp pains. I am having several contractions a day. My doctor said if I have 6 contractions an hour then I need to come into the hospital and they'll deliver the baby...

On Monday, I'll be 36 weeks and my doctor said I can go at any time. He's going to do an ultrasound next Thursday to make sure everything is okay and maybe I'll know more then.

Until then....we keep waiting!
