Ready... set.... GO!

We're officially ready for the little man to show up!  JJ checked lots of things off my list last week (during his remediation week --- yay for my smart hubby who didn't have to retest!), including moving the crib to our room, and rotating three chairs around!  M LOVES having a big chair in her room now - and Mommy and M fit together on it much better than the rocking chair that was previously there.  My bum and belly just were NOT making room for her during nuh-nigh reading sessions.  What other things tell us we're ready?
  • We had THE TOUR!  Woohoo!  We know where we're going this time!  I'm impressed with the hospital we're delivering at and just totally excited now that we've been there.
  • Our carseat is installed - complete with the warm top cover thingy and rolled receiving blankets in case this little guy needs a little support like M-girl did.  
  • All newborn... well... really to 3 month clothes are washed and put away where they'll be while he stays in our room (oh! and they are SO cute and little!).  I also have an organizer ready to go for when he moves into his next residence.
  • I guess along with clothes, the burp clothes, swaddles, Halo bundles, receiving blankets, diapers and wipes are all stocked and ready to go as well.
  • Our bags are packed - I did this a while ago I must admit.  JJ did an awesome job packing for me while I was AT the hospital last time, but I'd rather not go without a bra for a week again... ; )
  • The little baby chair thing that sings and vibrates is set up in the living room.  It is currently M's favorite place for her babies, so that could take a minor adjustment on her part...
  • I ordered a bumbo cover on Etsy.  I know Mr. Man won't be in it for a while, but I just couldn't put a sweet boy in a purple bumbo! 
  • I've been shaving my legs daily -- this is a biggie folks.  But, you just never know... ; )
I know more little things have been taken care of, but this list is already long.  I'm so excited... now it's just a waiting game!

Oh you're so cute Erica! Shaving seems like a minor detail, but it definitely makes you feel better while you're exposed to the world during labor. Sounds like you are ready! Best of luck with the last (hopefully) weeks! So excited for you!

Keep the toenails painted, too - although I was always wearing socks anyway.

Yay for feeling settled and prepared!

(Am I having twinges of jealousy? Nawww.)
