37 Weeks... Let the Countdown Begin!

So, I will be 37 weeks tomorrow. Full Term. Amazing! It's gone by fast, but slowly at the same time. Maybe because we've waited so long for this, I don't know. I DO know that I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I can't wait to meet our little "Baby Pumpkin Spice", introduce her to the world and finally reveal her name to everyone. I can't wait to see Cole as a big brother. I'm also more than a little afraid of what life will be like with two, the sleep deprivation, and Cole's adjustment to no longer being the center of attention. I'm convinced that the knowledge you have as a second time parent is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

I am hoping that BPS holds on until at least March 7th, as that's when my Mom comes to help us out. So far, there are no signs that she will be making her appearance anytime soon, and that's a good thing. Given that Cole was 9 days late and I had to be induced with him, it's likely that she will be late as well. I guarantee that I will be more than ready for her to vacate the premises once March 7th gets here, though!

I'll try to update more frequently now that we are getting closer, there hasn't been much going on except the winter doldrums here. We are ready for spring and our new addition to arrive!

Wow, unbelievable. It's hard to believe you're at this point, when it seems like not so long ago we were having conversations 'early on' if you know what I mean. Glad you're doing well and I can't wait to meet her!

So exciting that you're 37 weeks already! I can't wait to hear her name. I think that she should make her debut on March 8th--it's a great birthday! :)
