As of this past Wednesday, we officially have only 4 months to go before our baby arrives! (give or take a week or two...). We are both getting more & more excited all the time. We know these next 4 months are going to fly by as well b/c there is so much happening from now until then. This week is Thanksgiving (which is so hard to believe!), then Christmas, then New Years, then we start our baby classes, then I'll have a few baby showers - and all of that brings us to March 1st! Crazy stuff.
Speaking of baby showers - Bryce & I have started our baby registries. We've registered at Target and Babies R Us. Bryce was quite overwhelmed during the process b/c he kept saying that he has no idea what we need or don't need. I told him to relax and just let me do the scanning! :) He liked that plan - and was much more at ease after that. There are so many baby gadgets you can register for, so it definitely can be a little overwhelming b/c who knows how necessary/unnecessary some of the stuff is. Oh well, though, b/c it's all so cute! Overall, we had a really good time registering b/c we could picture our little boy in the baby swing, or in the cute outfit, or having tummy time with the activity mat, etc...
We plan to paint the nursery in a few weeks, so I'll definitely post some pictures when that time comes. We've purchased a crib bedding set & will be painting the room to match that, of course. I can't wait - I think it's all going to be so cute & come together really well. We've also placed an order for a glider chair for the nursery, which should arrive sometime this week, along with a few outfits and accessories for the nursery. It'll be fun to see the room slowly come together from now until March!
I've been asked a handful of times recently if I'm getting nervous at all for the delivery, or for the baby, but I can honestly say that no, i'm not nervous (yet). The only thing that makes me nervous is the fact that I can't control which day this baby decides to arrive in this world! I wish babies always arrived on their due date so you could be ready & know what to expect ahead of time. I just wonder what day it'll happen, where i'll be when the contractions start or when my water breaks, what I'll be doing, if Bryce will be home from work, etc. As far as the actual labor and stuff goes, though, I'm not nervous about that at this point. I'm sure it won't be the most fun thing I'll ever do in my life, but it can't be that terrible, right?! I'll just have to keep reminding myself that the end result is worth all the pain.
Bryce & I spend a lot of time thinking/talking about the baby. We wonder what/who he'll look like, what his personality will be like, what sports/activities he'll enjoy - and things like that. There are so many unknowns but that'll be the fun part of watching him grow up. I know we both hope that we'll good parents and make the right decisions raising him. Mistakes will happen, of course, but that's how we'll learn. We'll do our best, though - that's forsure. It's just crazy how much we love him already and we haven't even met him yet. We just can't wait to meet our little guy!
