{ 37 week belly }

Only 12 days to go.

It seems both so far away and too close all at the same time.  Little boy is growing and I swear he will be 9 pounds by the time his delivered.  I'm getting more uncomfortable by the day.  Alex tends to push out and down as much as he can.  Especially in the evening once I get done with work.  In fact, I'm not completely comfortable unless I'm completely stretched out either in bed or on the couch as Alex stretches out.  Only being 5'2" there is only so much room for this little baby to grow.

I've been trying to get everything in order.  Getting all the last minute shopping and nesting done.  And tying up all the loose ends at work before I go on maternity leave until November.  It hasn't been easy especially since I'm ready to hit the hay by 5 pm each night. 

But I'm getting there.  I'm nervous about having 2 running around.  My only saving grace is that Evan will be in school full time starting tomorrow and is old enough to help out a bit more than if he was still a toddler or preschooler.  I know that he's just as excited as we are and will help out as much as he can or that we'll allow.

I know that there is going to be a learning curve.  It's been years since we've had a baby and we're probably a bit rusty.  But eventually we'll find groove.  (I just hope it's while my mom is still here)
