The Mullins Family: 10 days to go...

Diapers - check!
Wipes - check!
Clothes - check!
Blankets, burp-cloths, washcloths, etc - check! check! check!
I hope we're not forgetting anything since we only have (+/-) 10 days left before the big arrival. It's amazing to me how something as little as a newborn can change somebody's life in such a huge way, even before she's born. We've been preparing for this day for the last 9 months, and I think we're as prepared as one can possibly be, but at the same time I feel so utterly not ready for baby B to show up!

Last Friday my doctor said that most likely I will go into labor right around my due date or even later. Bailey is still up way too high, way too active, and I'm not miserable enough - I still have not had one contraction. Jeremy keeps saying she'll come on November 2, which would be exactly a week after my due date and a week before his birthday, in which case I think it should count as my early birthday gift for him :o)

Baby Bo

Both Jeremy and Bo have been absolutely awesome in our preparation. Bo has already sniffed everything in the nursery, tried to chew on a few toys, and found a good sleeping spot for himself - right in front of the crib. He also likes to hang out in there because we have a large bay window that he can look out and watch the neighbor kids play, dogs bark, and people walk - it's like his own movie screen. He's been patiently awaiting his demotion from the "baby" status...

I am still very busy at work with showings, writing offers, and closings - it's been absolutely wonderful! But by the end of the day I don't have much energy left to do anything, so Jeremy has been doing most of the things around the house! One of his latest "projects" was building a book shelf in the nursery. It turned out great and fits perfectly in the room. Now the nursery is completely ready!
