Waistline Wednesday- 34 weeks

Uhm wow, 6 weeks to go, that is just crazy!! And let's remember that's the latest...if I happen to go into labor at 36+ weeks, it's considered safe and baby will come! I do not feel prepared. Even though I have "experience" with this whole parenting thing, I'm pretty sure I feel less ready this time. Some of that is not having the room finished (I'm not really a procrastinator at heart but sometimes circumstances push you to that end) and the other is just the whole idea of another child. 3 kids at home with me. All. the. time. I have no idea how this is going to pan out, especially in the mix of all Maggie's therapy. Whew, by God's grace alone, that's for sure. I didn't find a dresser at thrift stores or Craigslist so retail it is. I actually found one on Walmart.com and went to place the order only to discover this dresser in the finish I want is out of stock. Nice. I tracked down the manufacturer and they're out as well. The website, did however estimate more stock arriving by 8/5. So I checked again and the new in-stock date estimated 8/12. Oh my goodness. I managed to find it at another online furniture store for a few dollars more, but at this point it just had to get ordered. Hopefully in a couple (more) weeks, I'll finally be able to finish and reveal the nursery/big boy room- since little man will be in there as well.
Dear baby Jacob,
A part of me is so excited to meet you and hold you in my arms while the other part is anxious about your arrival. I know you'll be a wonderful addition to our little family and that God is knitting you together in my womb- perfect, beautiful little you. Mommy just gets a little nervous about logistics, that's who I am, but I know it will all work out because you're a very special gift from God. He never gives us more than we can handle and I'm looking forward to another blessing in my life and helping to raise/create/mold/teach another miracle only He can provide. You are already so love, little Jake. Your brother talks to you all the time and cannot wait to share his room with and play with you. I'll warn you though, he did say to me once that he can't wait until you're old enough so he can beat you up. Haha, that is so funny and upsetting at the same time. But just for the sake of argument, go ahead and practice some moves these last few weeks in your warm, cozy little home. You may need them. Perhaps that's what you're busy doing in there all the time- you certainly like to move as much as your siblings did! I love you and can't wait to meet you soon...but not too soon. :) Love, mommy.
