Eek! 4 weeks left!

I cannot believe how fast the time has gone!  I'm going to have a baby in 4 weeks! (Hopefully in 4 weeks anyway, I don't know how much longer than that I can keep carrying Mya around.)  Lionel made a comment the other night as he was rubbing my buddah belly, that he was ready to hold her.  My reply was, "Trust me, I'm ready for you to hold her too!"  I'm not going to lie, I have had a pretty easy and uneventful pregnancy, although there are some things that have gotten harder towards the end.

Sleeping has gotten interesting. I'm the kind that tosses and turns from side to side pretty much all night (Lionel loves this about me). But flipping over to the other side is not nearly as easy as it used to be. It's kind of a process, I have to turn a little bit here, adjust this and that, turn a little bit more and so on. Bending over has gotten more difficult, grunts tend to help for some reason. And of course shaving legs and putting on pants.  It's the little things.

As we get closer, I feel like we are fairly prepared.  As prepared as we can be for first time parents, I guess.  This last weekend, I decided to start prepping our cloth diapers.  I divided them into sizes and started washing the ones that we could use right away.  As they started coming out of the dryer, I was folding and piling into huge leaning, teetering diaper stacks.  I looked and Lionel and said, "I think I might have went a little overboard with purchasing diapers!"  Oh well, at least if I can't get to washing them every other day (which was my goal), we have enough to wash every third day! I just hope that cloth diaper works for us....

36 weeks!
