31 weeks!

31 weeks now. For most women that means 9 more to go. For me, however, it's more like 6. I always go 2-3 weeks early. I like to think it's because we're just too excited to meet each other.

I'm not even close to being prepared. There are no pre-washed onesies ready to go, there is no nursery set up, I haven't even purchased the car seat.

So what am I waiting for?

I have no idea. I finally told Bobby today that we need to start NOW. No more dilly-dallying. We need to at least get the bassinet ready, clean the baby sheets/blankets, and get some comfy unisex basics. And the car seat. It's pretty important to do that now since I went to the doc on Tuesday and I'm already dilated to 1 centimeter!

I couldn't believe it. The night before I was having really painful contractions, but I've never dilated this early, so it was quite a shock to receive that news. I'd be happy with even 4 more weeks, but not now. No, this is too soon. So needless to say, I'm taking it very easy right now.

I can't wait to meet him/her, but not til the end of September or early October.

Besides, I've been watching all those baby shows on TLC, and although I've done it 3 times before, I'm totally nervous to go through the labor/delivery again with no meds. Really. Freaked. Out.

Guess I can't do all the household chores anymore.

Shucks.

Girl, I've been pregnant so long it seems like everyone else is catching up to me. There's even a girl that will probably have her baby before me and I got pregnant well before she did. LOL!

All my babies have been early... and here I sit with my very first soon-to-be 39 weeker still chillin' out in there.

Good luck to ya ~ I'll say a prayer that your little sweetie gets at least 4 more weeks to cook. :)

Where does the time go? You'll get it all done in time, but you are right, you better get on it! You just never know if this one will be earlier than early!

Every birth is so exciting...whether it is your 4th or 1st!
