35 weeks-35 days to go

Elena recently wanted to have a baby in her tummy, too!

I just realized that if this baby is born the same time in the pregnancy as E was, we have 18 days left. Wow! I'm not ready! Mind you, I think this baby will wait (or perhaps go past) her due date, and I'm telling myself January so I won't be disappointed if her due date comes and goes without a baby. Due dates are overrated. :) But boy, do we have a lot of work to do! I need to wash the baby clothes and blankets, clean the car seat and pack 'n play, and get Jared to install the "tiny baby carseat" base in the car, etc. etc. etc. The nesting instinct has been strong the last couple of weeks and last weekend we got our girls' room painted a nice, creamy, glowing yellow (as opposed to the "masking tape" yellow of base housing that covers all our other walls). I got the crib and bed skirts on their beds, a new duvet cover made for E's bed, and I bought some art supplies to make some wall hangings for their room. I'm hoping I get everything done before labor starts, but I'm trying to prioritize everything in case I don't. I can just see myself working between contractions, trying to finish up so I'll be "done". Wait a minute....oh yeah, that's right, a mother's work is never done! Good job security!
