We are officially 36 weeks!!
it just got REAL...I mean really, really REAL!!
we have installed the carseat!!
It was when we did this and I got in my car the next morning that I realized WOW, I'm having a baby and she is going to be sitting in that seat hopefully within 4 weeks!! I rather not go past our due date :) I'm feeling pretty preggers at this point and not sure if I could go much further!!
All our bags are packed, we're ready to go!!!
(yes, I sang that as I typed it)
How in the world I fit all this
into these
I'm still not sure, but it worked!
I did several amounts of intense research aka "googling" :) and I think that I have put together the perfect list. I know we are first timers, but most of this list makes sense to me and I hope that my friends who are preggers get some info they may not have known from this...
Mom checklist for labor and delivery:
• 1 comfortable going home outfit and shoes.
• Hospital gown, pajama set, slippers and a couple pair of socks.

I also included our pink autograph elephant on the list. (see it in pic above) It is super cute and everyone who comes to visit us in hospital or during the first week at home will get to sign it!
We are excited and nervous...
We are going to be on a single income soon and the lyrics from the Beatles keep going through my head
"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"
I know we will be overwhelmed with so much love once our baby girl gets here!!
