Well, we have reached THAT point where we now just wait for baby!
Crib is up!
Clothes/blankets are washed!
Room is set up!
Bottles/supplies cleaned!
Bassinet/swing/bouncer up!
Big Sister gift is purchased! and
Bags are packed!
Mom has reached 38 weeks, worn out from nesting, and has maxed out her maternity clothes:)
WE ARE READY!
Well as ready as we will ever be for our lives to change forever I suppose...
Emma tells about everyone she sees that she's having a little brother soon, and her little face lit up when I came home from my last Dr's appointment and told her that the doctor said he is big and strong and ready to meet us soon! She has loved helping prep the nursery and baby things and I hope her eagerness to be such a big helper continue once he is here.
The holidays were good to us and we enjoyed all of our family time very much. Emma was spoiled like crazy as you can only imagine and a few big hits/favorites this year for her were her VeggieTales cd/karaoke player, her Doc McStuffins puzzles, and many new books and legos. She will have plenty to keep her busy when mommy is busy with baby brother, let's just hope she transitions well to playing by herself more:)
Daddy was excited to get his new garage door openers, his Whirlypop, and some new Lynnville-Sully gear. (It was time this Carroll boy started sporting some L-S Hawk apparel:)
And Mommy was pleased as punch with her new storage ottoman, cowboy boots, and bathrobe.
But alas, the tree and decorations are down, and it's now the middle of January (the slowest month of the year)! Just a couple more weeks and our wait will be over!!!
So exciting!
