Checking in!
How is everyone doing? I hope you ladies are well. We only a little more ways to go and our LOs will be here. I am counting down. Now to figure out how to get DS from climbing in the bassinet. LOL!

Re: Checking in!
I couldn't echo these words any louder if I tried.
I feel frazzled. I only have 7 work days left and there is so much to do - and so much of it that depends on other people doing their jobs in a timely manner - which they haven't been. I want to leave things in a good way when I go but can only do so much on my own.
And then there is all the stuff that we don't have ready for the baby. I mean, we have a crib and all that - but no sheets. And we are planning on CD - but we haven't had a chance to order the diapers yet. I get such anxiety when I think about all the stuff that we still have to do and how little time there is. I'm sure that's just my perspective though - almost as if I am viewing my last day of work as LO's arrival date. Oi vay.
Yes its getting SO close!! We are so ready....I have 4 more days of work and will then be putzing away at home! So ready to meet you baby!!
GL to everyone in the coming weeks...cant wait to hear some birth stories in the next little while...and of course to see everyone's sweet little ones!!
Blessed with our beautiful girl May 30/2012 - BFP June 20th/2013 - Naturally MC June 30th/13.

I am getting soooo tired of being pregnant! We have pretty much everything ready for baby...just need to install the carseat and get a soft structure carrier, and I think we're going to do that this weekend. I have been so tired these past few weeks. I don't work every day and today I'm at home, so even though I got up around 8:30 and ate breakfast I was so tired by 10 that I had to lie down and have a nap. I slept for over 2.5 hours and still feel tired. Guess I am just getting used to a new sleep pattern for the next few years once LO is here!
I love seeing birth stories pop up on the board. Makes it feel so much closer- just a little bit longer to go until we can all meet our babies!
LOL We have not setup the baby items for this reason. DD thinks they are all hers. So far she is annoyed that the travel swing won?t work with her in it, I think the bouncer meets her standards and she thinks the car seat base is her own personal chair LOL.
I'm counting down as well, though have a lot longer than many of you (due June 23).
Work is starting to get hard to focus on, and make sure everything is all set before I go. I am working right up until labor, so its a little tough not to know when my last day is. Plus we are so busy and short-staffed, so things keep getting put on my plate...which just adds to the list of things I'll need to be prepared to pass off. UGh, getting anxiety thinking about it!
I also still have my bag to pack, car seat to buy (waiting for my BRU completion coupon), and all the clothes to wash...and Thank you Notes to write..about 40 of them!
Sleeping is just short of TORTURE! Sooo painful, even after trying a million pillows, the couch, the recliner - nothing is working.
But other than that, I can't wait for LO to arrive!!!
Is there anyone at work that can help you at work? I know you want to leave in a good way, but no need getting so flustered that your head pops off. I am sorry that things aren't falling into place. As for LO, things will get done. Don't worry. Delegate some tasks to DH or family or friends.
LOL! Yeah we didn't set the swing up either. His 40lb self would break it lol. He threw his bear in the bassinet yesterday and covered it up with LOs blanket. The boy even told me to shush. He is a riot.
I'm okay. Getting more excited. Saturday is my baby shower.
Can't believe we are all so close. Your outside kid is cute, btw

LOL! Outside kid. I haven't heard that one before. I like
. Yeah he's a cutie and bucket of trouble.
Same! I feel fabulous all day, but it seems like as soon as I climb into bed my hips and crotch start screaming at me!
I'm due June 23rd, so a bit later than some of you, but we're pretty ready to go. Tomorrow is my last day of work. We'll be heading up to the cottage tomorrow night and I'll be comng home on the 27th. After that we're going to install the car seat bases. I've packed everything for the baby for the hospital and have gathered up most of the things I'll need for the hospital. The clothes are all washed and put away, the crib is made, and we're just twiddling our thumbs waiting. Not nervous or even excited yet (I have the unfornate habit of not being very excitable - I'll be on my way to the hospital before I get really excited). I'm looking forward to having a few weeks at home to nap and rest as I please. Time is definitely ticking away!
