Yep, still here and pregnant. I talked with my Mom this morning and she said she was going to call me every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to see how I was doing and to tell me to take it easy and put my feet up. While that made me giggle, I also realize I'm in for a lot of phone calls the next few weeks. I told my mom that I will be calling her when "the time" comes and Kris and I are heading to the hospital. I'll also be calling my dad, Kris's parents and probably my sister. Not that all these people need to drop everything and go to the hospital - we'll call them again ASAP after the baby is born, but you know, they might want to know what's going on. If I can, I will also post a short note here, saying that we're heading to the hospital. Don't count on it though as things can change at a moment's notice. And if it's 3am and my water breaks, I'm not going to turn the computer on to post a note - that just seems silly.

Well, the baby's room is almost complete! I have a picture that I'd like to hang and maybe a shelf but that's about it. All the necessary stuff has been washed and put away. Kris got out the baby bathtub yesterday and washed that - it's a loaner from his parents - Kris was washed in this tub as an infant! We have diapers, wipes, onesies, receiving blankets, the car seat installed, the hospital bag packed (except for last minute items and music), etc. I think we might actually be ready - well at least in the physical sense! My to-do list is getting shorter and shorter.

Things left to do are:

Finish shower thank you notes
Have car seat inspected in Kris's car (Wednesday appt)
Make CD for hospital (low priority since I could just grab all my favorites CDs and be fine)
Start addressing birth announcement envelopes - I heard this is a good thing to do before the baby gets here - again not necessary

And that's it! Of course I'd also like the house to be clean - but I'll wait until that nesting thing hits. It's presentable now - but a good cleaning would do it good.

So - you can start sending me "go into labor" vibes any time now. Kris would like it to be this week since his team has a bye this week! :) Yeah honey, I'll let the baby know! His next game is the 28th and then the 4th and then they have two weeks off in a row before they have another game on the 25th. I'm guessing the baby will come during the next bye weeks, not this one!
