So..... It hit me. I am 33 weeks. My guess date is in exactly 4 weeks. 4 WEEKS. But, he could be here before then. He could be here in 3 weeks. 

I am hoping I make it to 37 weeks though so he is considered full term. 

I still need to finish up my shopping...I especially need more NB cloth diapers! 

We also need the new car seats for the older ones so we can fit all 5 kids into the car!!

I also need to wash all of his clothes. I'm scared I'm going to ruin them though. Lol. Sooooo paranoid.

I have a feeling this baby is going to be a good size. He just feels so big in there! Lol.

So, like I mentioned above, baby boy finally has a name!! And, just like we did with Aaralyn, we will share the name when he is born. 

I still have a few things left to buy... Same as I have mentioned needing before. Lol.

We still need a swing/bouncy seat. And Ergo. Some more NB cloth diapers. Some more 0-3 months clothes. Car seats for Kayelynn and Seth so we can fit all the kids in the car. Lol. I would also like to get some more swaddle blankets. I also need some stuff for myself... Like breast pads and pads. Lol.

And I need to have my doctor fill out a prescription for a breast pump so I can get that taken care of too!

Baby is officially hurting me. It seems like my belly is just growing up and down. I wish it would grow OUT or drop. Baby is IN my ribs and I can't even sit up straight because he gets in the way. It hurts.

So, like mentioned above, we still aren't 100% on a name. I think we have a first name picked out, and a middle name... But, our kids have two middle names (Brian and I both do also) so we need another middle name.

I had a doctor's appointment today. Everything looked great. Passed my glucose test. Baby is measuring perfectly. Heart rate was in the 140's. I go back in two weeks.

We still don't have everything we need. I need more NB cloth diapers. More 0-3 months clothing. An Ergo. A swing and a bouncy seat. I also would like to have one or two more heavy blankets since it's going to be winter soon after he's born. I am also debating on a baby bathtub. We had one with Aaralyn but I never used it. So, I don't know. 

I'm getting a little anxious. It is weird though, it still doesn't feel real. I don't know how to explain it. We're getting close though. 

69 days until my due date.

48 days until my "gut feeling" date.

I have a feeling time is going to start flying by. The girls have dentists appointments on the 15th. Football games every Sunday. I have another doctor's appointment on the 19th.

Oh, and we still need new car seats for Seth, Paige, and Kayelynn.

That is the only way we can fit the three older kids in the third row... I know what seats I am getting for Seth and Kayelynn... Paige's seat will be determined by how much room is left.
