3 Weeks and Counting . . .

It hardly seems possible, but we only have a little over three weeks left until Peanut will be joining us - assuming he or she comes on time! Baby Johnson has been continuously on the move with many kicks, rolls, and acrobatics in an ever-shrinking space. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come . . . ? Yikes! Health-wise, everything is going well. We're now going to the doctor every week from now on. Had a slight blood pressure scare yesterday as I'm trying to keep away from preeclampsia, but it turned out well. The doctor thinks this will probably be a decent sized baby . . . I'm not sure what she means by that, but my hope is that we keep it well under 10 lbs!!!

JJ and I made a trip to Babies 'R' Us the other night (LOVE this store!) to grab a few things that we need prior to Peanut's arrival. We came home with an ottoman, a glider on order, a changing pad and two covers, a set of receiving blankets (JJ even picked them out!), and a sleep sack along with a guard for our back seat to protect it from the car seat. Apparently the dog hasn't done enough damage yet to warrant leaving it unprotected! The room is pretty much finished, and my mom, Grandma Pat, and aunt Renae are coming up this weekend to help with other odds and ends. I wonder how much work we'll actually get done?! My goal is to just have fun! :) I'm so excited to see them!!! There's an amazing amount of laundry that needs to be done - every piece of fabric that comes into contact with the baby apparently needs to be washed. That's a lot of folding!

Everyone keeps asking if I'm ready - physically YES! I can't wait to sleep on my stomach again, move faster than a snail, and remember what my ankles look like! Emotionally and just plain "mom" ready - NO!!! I'm scared to death! But I'm excited, too. So that outweighs the fears, and Peanut is coming whether we're ready or not! :)
