And the freak out begins...

Okay, so I'm 23 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. The past 5 or so weeks have absolutely FLOWN by and all of the sudden I am starting to freak out about getting everything ready for Baby M's arrival! I think it really hit me when I tried to schedule an out of town work meeting for November 21st. It took me a minute to realize that was only 7 days before my due date-lol, yeah that won't work! So that little realization got me thinking about the million things we need to do in the meantime...finalize day care arrangements, finish setting up her room, settle on a name (lol), register (what the heck do we really need/want anyway vs what just seems like a good idea to put on the registry), schedule maternity pics, figure out what the in the world I need to do to prepare for d- (delivery) day, the list goes on and on... These are the little things that keep me up after my nightly 4 a.m. bathroom break.

We have made some progress we've made since our last post though, thankfully! My amazing parents bought us the Penelope bedding from Pottery Barn! Y-A-Y! I am SOOO excited. I cannot wait for it to arrive!!!! Also, we found and bought a crib. It should be at our house this Friday (yay) and I'm promptly requesting that Justin get it all set up in her room so I can start putting wall decos up and we can look for the other furniture. Hmmm...that might be about it.

Oh, I'm forgetting the best part, we got to see the little peanut (well not exactly a peanut anymore--corn of cob I guess would be a better size description) on 7/26 at an ultrasound. She looks great! She's measuring right on track, at 1 lb 2 ounces (doc says 51st percentile). We got to see her adorable profile and have started making guesses about whose features she has. She is also kicking so much now. I love it! You can definitely see her moving around in my belly. I'll post the sonogram pics as soon as I figure out how to scan them into my computer...

Okay, well that's enough for now. Maybe I should go tackle some of my to-dos! :)
