Holy shit!!!

It is 8 weeks away from my due date.  I am excited and scared all at the same time! 

Why am I scared? 

1. Well for starters we have no room ready for Thing 2!  The room right now is still set up as an office.  The bassinet is still in the attic.  Thing 1 is still sleeping in Thing 2’s crib (set up as a toddler bed). 
2. We still have not figured out how to spell Thing 2’s name yet.  In my mind I have already decided but I feel like the husband is not too keen on it.  But I am getting to the point where I don’t care what he says because this child has been beating MY body up – not his!
3. To be really honest I am just not ready yet.  There are still so many things left to do.  I am so scared Thing 2 is going to start to come when Thing 1 and I are home alone and I will not be prepared to deal with where to take Thing 1, going to the hospital by myself, etc.  (YES, I sometimes am the drama queen in my family).

Why am I excited?

1. Well to be honest I am getting really tired of wearing this support belt that feels more like a corset or girdle every day!
2. I am tired of getting my body beat up every day!  This little girl is a brut.
3. I am tired of not being able to pick up and hug Thing 1 like I usually could.  I really want to be able to lay down on my belly and read him a book like we used to do.  I kind of just want my body back.
4. I really want to see this little girl!  (Thing 1 has been dreaming about her and tells me she has black hair.  I hate to tell him that most babies have black hair when they are first born.)
