Hi Baby Joey!
I am having trouble sleeping tonight - my brain wasn't shutting down because I was thinking about work stuff. I think it was the first time since you have been in their cooking that I was actually prepping work stuff in my head. So, I was calculating in my head how many times we could take a sleeping pill between now and when you get here. It hit me....today marks the day that we are exactly 4 months away from when you should be here. Since Bonebrake won't let us go more than 39 weeks, that is June 23. 4 months exactly from today, little munchkin. When I say that is 17 weeks from tomorrow, it sounds like a long time but when I think 4 months, it sounds like a short time. I know, it all sounds irrational is what it sounds like.
I am not sure we are ready for you yet! We haven't really figured out your sleeping arrangements. We haven't gone through and pulled out your clothes and diapers. We haven't gotten the cars ready for your car seat. We haven't gotten your bottles or my pump all ready to go. I think we have sort of been slacking on your arrival because we know you are covered. Daddy is an expert at the car seat by now, we know that you will be in Gramma Debi D's bassinet for awhile, and we know that everything is in the house that we need. I am kind of waiting on clothes until spring so I can pack up Elijah's winter clothes and pull your clothes out.
I think I might panic more when we hit the 3 month mark or especially the 2 month mark. Everything better be ready by the 1 month mark because there is no guarantee that you won't come early. I won't say I panicked thinking about it tonight but how about we say I was a tad alarmed :)
Well buddy, hopefully, we will get some sleep in a few minutes. I took our sleeping pill, did a load of dishes and think it will kick in shortly. As always, thank you for being good to me, thanks for kicking up a storm so I know you are doing ok and thanks in advance for staying in there cooking until mid-June!
PS - it is midnight so I can officially say "HAPPY 22 WEEKS", munchkin :)
