"P-Ewww"

Dear Diary,

Another blog post about pregnancy and my baby. Sorry folks, but when I am days away from meeting the little lady, it's all that is on my mind!

Well I am at that antsy phase. Had a dream last night that we had our baby girl and she was huge! Not like oddly huge, just more like a 4 month old instead of a newborn. And she had light hair, which I can't imagine she'll have. Someone (not sure who) named her a name we did not like so we had to change it AND for some reason my parents were taking care of her in the hospital so Garrett and I could get plenty of rest. Do you think that means they're planning on moving in and getting up all night long after we bring her home? =)

I usually enjoy dreams like these but this morning it just reminded me that it is still not time for our little lady to be here. It's definitely a good thing considering I still have plenty to do before she arrives, including packing my hospital bag (oops!), but it still doesn't stop me from wishing she was just here already. I am DYING to clean my house but want to wait until Saturday when Garrett can help and we are a little closer to Tuesday, you know, so I don't have to clean it AGAIN before we head to the hospital. I must be in that weird nesting phase because every little thing that is out of place, needs dusted or could use a good scrubbing is calling my name. Garrett would be mad at me if I did it all myself so I suppose I can wait a couple more days before I tackle the housework.

I had my last Doctors appointment yesterday, although I didn't even get to see my Doctor at all. She was very far behind, which has never happened throughout either of my pregnancies, so I was asked to see the Nurse Practitioner. I was a little disappointed as I would have liked to see my Doctor one last time before the big day, but I assume she must have felt okay enough about things to let me see the Nurse instead. I got to hear her heartbeat one last time from behind this comfortable home she's been dwelling in for the past 9 months and I got to leave the office knowing I wouldn't be back for any more checkups before the baby's arrival.

This little bundle of joy is moving like crazy, which probably means she's just as antsy to meet us as well. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to bringing her home, getting settled in, and spending a few days snuggled with my little family in preparation for Phillies Opening Day. If ANYBODY wants things to run on schedule, it is my husband, because he will get to have Opening Day off work. I haven't quite decided which he is more excited about, the new addition or baseball season. =)

Alright, off to spend another day with just the lady and I. Speaking of, here's the Addy Moment of the Day:

 

She goes to the gate and points upstairs. I say, "What's the matter? Are you ready for a nap?" She looks at me like I am crazy and I ask again, "Addy, are you ready for a nap?" And she squints her eyes, plugs her nose with her thumb and finger and says, "P-U!" (More like "P-Eww"). Sure enough, she had a stinky. Garrett and I only teach her quality words and phrases, Ha ha! My kid is awesome =)

Oh yeah, Happy St. Pat's Day! Oddly enough I have overlooked this until I saw all the FB status updates.

Sincerely Yours,
