Ok Baby Girl... we're ready when you are!
Tomorrow marks the end of week 39 and then we head into our final week. :-) But I'll post about that tomorrow.
Today we had our weekly dr appt and everyone's healthy.
As a routine measure, our Dr. is going to be scheduling an induction date just in case Baby Girl goes too far past her due date. That doesn't mean that there's no chance of her being born before or on her due date or that she's thinking one way or the other. Apparently this is something they do at this point in the pregnancy just in case, because the slots fill up quickly. And if we don't need it, great :-)
Those of you who predicted she'd arrive after her due date are just dying to know when the induction date is, aren't you. I'm not sayin'. Yet ;-) If we end up getting there, I'll let y'all know!
As for readiness - we're pretty much there. New things accomplished on our to-do lists this week:
- I've finished writing my last employee performance review at work, finalized goals & objectives, and sent out notice about my last day. I have one more project to transition, and a couple of last minute details to sort out but should have that done by Wednesday.
- We're finished all our childbirth classes.
- we've scheduled our car seat installation and inspection with our local police department for tomorrow morning!
- We've finished writing our birth plan and reviewed it with our caregiver!
- We've picked up the last remaining essentials for Baby Girl
- Baby Girl's and my bags are packed and in the trunk of the car, ready to go. Tim still needs to pack his, but I do have a toothbrush and deodorant packed for him.
- The house is clean! Well, it's definitely livable, clean and organized in the places that matter most :-) The Kitty room, now that it is pretty much empty, has been turned into a random storage room of sorts in addition to housing the litter boxes but Baby Girl won't be spending any time in there so I'm not concerned about it. The office is still completely cluttered but she's not going to be hanging out in there either (except perhaps strapped to me or Tim in her Baby Bjorn for an occasional blog entry here and there in the first few days home if we feel like it but I suspect she won't notice the clutter if that's the case ;-)
Still some stuff to do on the list to keep us occupied until she gets here but the main stuff is done. We're ready for her :-)
