Down to the wire!

Its down to the wire, the littlest Graham cracker could arrive any day now. We are down to the last four weeks, and while they say the first is usually late, there is the exception to the rule. I kind of hope she is late because I don't think I am ready for her to be early. There is tons of stuff to do yet. Her room is a mess, I haven't felt like sorting any of her clothes. It has been a very overwhelming month! I have been more emotional in the last two weeks than I have been in the last 8 months. Things are coming up that we hadn't really planned for that are adding to my stress. I know this should be a happy time, and it is, I am super excited to meet baby Graham, but I am also tired, sick, emotional and stressed out. I would like that to be out my system before I become a new mom and feel other emotions I hadn't expected! The nesting aspect has yet to surface! I have no desire to sort, clean, or do anything remotely related to domesticity. I am still working, but my last day is in a week and a half. Perhaps then I will feel like doing more. With work still on the go it still seems like too much. I am still going to the gym, but by the end of November I will stop. I think I have done pretty good up until now. I have only gained 23 pounds, which is pretty awsome I must say, considering some women gain twice or even triple that! I must say I am a little shocked that's all I have gained considering what I have been eating the last two months, but I guess the little exercises I do do at the gym helps! My in-laws are coming in about four weeks as well. I think with A being off work for three weeks and his parents here, everything should go well. I also have lots of friend support, so I know I won't be alone.

The hardest part about all of this is not knowing what to expect when she comes home! I am not at all worried about the delievery, its the afterwards that worries me! I know I will be fine, and I have lots of help, but not knowing what to do or expect is daunting! Anyway this may be my last post until after, but I will try to keep the small amount of people do read this updated!

Have a great day, enjoy the snow, and drive carefully!
