thoughts

With my first actual appointment only a week away, I am anxiously awaiting the first ultrasound. It feels like an eternity to wait. But, that means I am only 9 weeks along out of 40! I have a feeling this is going to drag on. However, it does help to have a few of my friends in the same boat.

I have really given this a lot of thought. I will do some things the same and some things differently, especially with sleep! I am thinking the breatheable bumpers for the crib and not freaking out over every little sound will help a lot. First and foremost on my list is to get our house in order. This is going to be a big deal. I am not just cleaning the house, but organizing and getting rid of junk and making it easier to function. Some people would call this "nesting" but I call it long overdue. I want everything to have a place and a reason for being where it is.

Matthew is so excited to help me decorate the house this week for Christmas. We have started our first advent calendar. Lots of fun! And, he talks about being a big brother to his little sister. He told me he really wants a little brother, but the baby is a girl. At 15-20 weeks we will see if he is correct.

That is all for now. I will write more as things progress and add photos.
