Week 33: Floating Baby says 50 Days To Go!!!

Wow! Between the overwhelming amount of new baby stuff I am trying to find a place for, and doing my first loads of baby laundry, it is all feeling very real lately.
We only have 7 weeks (at the most) before Punkin's arrival into our world, and the reality of it all has most definitely hit both Bobby and I in full force.

Maybe it was seeing the massive amount of baby stuff I brought home from the shower, or a combination of several events lately...but Bobby has really started getting serious about his Honey-Do-Before-Baby-Arrives List. He put the pack and play together and made a place for it in our room. He put the car seat in the car against my plea not to (so I wouldn't have to drive around with an empty car seat for the next 7 weeks). He said he'll feel better if its in and all I have to drive around with is the base...the car seat can stay at the house....for now. Next on Bobby's agenda is to get the hospital bags packed. I am normally the way-too-far-in-advance packer...but that is for VACATIONS! This time I was hoping to put off the packing for awhile longer (not really sure why). But Bobby has decided we are packing our bags as well as the baby bag soon...very soon.

My in-laws just made their travel arrangements for their visit about a month after Punkin's arrival. They don't get to visit very often so both Bobby & I are really excited about them coming to stay with us for a while.
My Dad just decided to come for a visit Labor Day weekend so he can help Bobby on some house projects we want to get done before Punkin arrives. I'm sure all that type of stuff will get put on the bottom of the priority list if we don't take care of it now.

I have been training people at work on the different aspects of my job. Basically letting go of all my projects, so they can start taking them over while I am here to help if they need it.

Bobby and I will be attending a Childbirth Preparation class this Saturday, and I just scheduled us for a Newborn Care Class mid-September.

And.............I'm ordering my Diaper Bag TODAY!!!!!

So the combination of all the baby related stuff going on in our lives right now is absolutely making us realize what a short window of time we have left.....
