Almost ready but not wanting to be!

Well we are basically ready for her to arrive I think. The bag is basically packed except for the cameras and that can be right before we leave. They are stored by the door so we won't miss them. Also the cell phones and chargers aren't there cause we are still using them but again they are by the door where the keys are.

The room is almost done except for the closet needs one more coat of paint on the shelves but that doesn't really matter. The rest of the room is done and the crib has the sheets and everything on it. Almost all her clothes are washed except for the stuff the the 2 grandmas bought on the weekend.

I am not wanting to be ready yet though. I am in no rush to have her at all. I can't wait for mat leave to start but I love being pregnant. I feel that now that everything is basically ready that she should be coming and i am in no rush. After the 6th of April I am off work though and I will just sit and wait. I don't think it will be a problem though. I can sleep in and relax during that time. I can catch up on my shows that I will just get behind on when she gets here. Don't get me wrong I want to meet her and everything but I am in no rush to be not pregnant anymore. I love this feeling and know that it will be while before I get to do it again. I want 2 kids but I have a feeling that we will wait 2 years and then who knows how long it will be till I get pregnant again. I almost wish that I could be pregnant longer. I keep thinking that she will be late but the doctor thinks she might be a bit early from her position already. I don't know, she will get here when she is ready I guess. Until then I will just enjoy every minute of it.

The count down

I have started counting down what i have left to work. I am excited to be going on mat leave. The sad thing is that I am not really excited about the fact that I will get to meet my daughter soon after that it is the fact that I will be off work for just over a year and I am excited about that. It has been so busy and crazy at work lately that I am just ready for the time off.

I am excited about meeting my daughter though but it has nothing to do with my mat leave. I keep wondering what she will be like. We finally have a name for her as well although we are not sharing it with anyone till she is here. The first ones to know will be our parents when Tony calls from the hospital to say she has been born and tell the name and all the other details that the Moms will want to know.

I have been thinking how amazing it is going to be to see my daughter in my arms and what it will feel like. Then I started thinking that it is probably more amazing for my mom than for me. I know that sounds weird though. But I will be sitting there looking at my daughter and loving her. My mom will walk in and see her daughter holding her child. I think that must be an even more important feeling. I can't imagine what that will be like to see my baby holding her own baby. I will know what she has gone through and the feelings she will feel. I think that grandparents really have the best deal in the world. Yes they has to go through having there own kids but having grandchildren has to be the best reward for that.

Moving along

Well so far this pregnancy has been moving along as it is supposed to. Only a few little things like measuring behind but that's it. Now i just have to wait and see if I gain enough weight at my next appointment. I have to gain 5lbs and I have till next Tuesday to do it. I think I might be almost there but I will have to make sure that I am close by then. I don't want to be off work quite yet. I have my holidays already in and my last day of work scheduled for the 6th of April. I want as much time with my daughter as I can once she is born.

I can't believe I only have about 6 weeks left. I figure I will be late but Tony is hoping for a bit early so we can have an Easter baby. He wants to put her in an Easter basket and take pictures. I do think that will be cute though.

I am slowly getting a bigger belly and love having it. I love feeling her move around inside too. She has turned from being sideways to up and down again although I have no idea if she is the right way or not and she does sometimes go back to sideways. I have to say though I like it when she is sideways cause I can feel her movements more. With my placenta the way it is I can feel movement now that she is bigger but not as much as i can on the sides. I have to admit though sometimes I wonder what the heck she is doing in there.

I can't wait to be a mommy to a baby I can hold. Today has been weird for me cause today would have been my due date a year ago. I could be planning a first birthday instead of getting ready for the birth of my daughter. Although that would mean that my mat leave would be almost over and I have to admit I am looking forward to a year off. I can't wait to meet my little girl. We have spent a lot of time lately talking about what she might look like. We wonder what color her hair will be and how big she will be. Will she be completely pale like both of us or will she have a bit of color like her paternal grandfather. I can't wait to meet her and get the answers.
