GETTING READY FOR JACOB!


We are in the home stretch.  At my last appointment the midwife mentioned that Jacob had dropped and we are “good to go” anytime between that night and within the next month.  Of course, I am hoping for sooner rather than later.  BUT, I am willing to be patient because I know that the end result of a beautiful, healthy, and bouncing baby boy will be worth all the backaches, leg aches, extreme pelvic pressure, waddling, midnight, 1:00 AM, 2:00AM, and 4:00 AM potty breaks!  (Okay so I am ready now, but…..)

We have been getting ready for Jacob in many ways.  We washed all his clothes and bedding accessories last November.  We got his new diaper bag (monogrammed of course) about 2 weeks ago.  We got 2 packages of size 1 diapers and a package of sensitive baby wipes plus my favorite baby wash and lotion ready.  Today I was able to check the last thing off my list, the crib mattress has been raised and the crib has been made.  So we have the diaper bag ready, the car seat is washed and the base is ready to be put in, all Jacob’s laundry is sorted, folded, and readied on the changing table and his dresser, and the diapers and some baby wash are here with his tub ready to go. Plus the big kiddos (after much debate), have Jacob’s WELCOME BABY outfit picked out from his hat to his socks!  All our birth supplies are gathered together from snacks and Gatorade to clothes.  All that we are missing is Jacob!  Maybe we will get lucky and he will come tonight!  What a New Year’s gift that would be!

So without further ado (and because of some requests), here are some photos showcasing a 38 week baby belly, some little teeny, tiny baby diapers, and all of our baby/birth supplies! 

A belly shot!

I ADORE how this baby wash smells!
