3 1/2 Weeks to Go

Well I can honestly say "I'M NOT READY" for this! Just 3 1/2 weeks to the due date and the reality that our son could come any day now is just too much for me to handle! I'm truly doing the "nesting" that they refer too but I still feel like things aren't done yet.

I've got my bag to pack yet, carseats to install, pick out an outfit to bring him home in, load my ipod with 'labor' music, and the list goes on.

Fear is setting in when I think of the unknowns of the labor/delivery process. I got together with a good friend over Christmas and she reminded me that regardless of what happens that particular day - this baby will be coming out and things would be okay.

I've started comparing it to your wedding day - you do all this planning, are feeling good and then just sit in anticipation for the day to arrive. Then it finally does and come rain or shine, wilted flowers, late photographer, etc you will still be married at the end of the day. Well, I think being pregnant is just like that. You wait 9 months, paint the room, have your showers, go through some discomfort - BUT regardless of what happens during labor, this Baby will come out and I'll be a mom!

Well enough of my ranting! Please be in prayer for us over these next few weeks as we look forward to the day we meet our son and welcome him into the Bauman family!
