35 Weeks

AND STILL NO FURNITURE! This is about to make me completely crazy, but I am extremely hopeful that my furniture will be here this week or next. I guess it's a good thing I ordered everything in AUGUST. Evidently, baby Addison's crib is on a boat in the middle of the ocean somewhere. A lot of good that is going to do us if our little jelly bean decides to come early. Seems that it is coming from Romania, and it just so happens that the contact person from the warehouse in NJ is in Romania right now. So, until he returns to the states with an update for us, I guess we'll just keep hoping for some great news.

I have spent several nights this week doing what I can to prepare for baby Addison's arrival. I have washed, folded, put away and organized what I can without the furniture. The upstairs still looks like a bomb went off, but things are looking a little better. I have started packing my bag for the hospital (just need to get a few more things) and have packed Addison's sweet little bag. The handpainted letters for the nursery came in this week, and I just love them! I would go ahead and hang them except I am not sure exactly where to hang them without the furniture. The curtains also came in, and I think my friend Amy is bringing the curtain rods, finials and hardware next weekend so we can hang those. We are getting so close to having a nursery...

As for the baby, she continues to remind me that she is there. While she doesn't seem to move as frequently as she did a few weeks ago, when she does move, I definitely notice. The "taps" are now jabs and kicks. Last night, there was something big (must have been a knee or a leg) pushing the side of my stomach out. It was too funny. And too cool.

My next appointment is next Thursday. After that appointment, I'll be going weekly instead of every two weeks. Hard to believe the weekly visits are almost here.

Check back for updates. I'll definitely keep you posted as we continue to prepare for baby Addison to arrive.
