Countdown to baby!

We have six weeks from today until the baby is due. I am really (REALLY, REALLY) hoping he'll be born a week and a half early. Cross your fingers! Glen and the girls get a week off for winter break the entire week before my due date. Having him come early would make life much easier! We will have to see if he will accommodate me on this or not. Rachel was born at 36 weeks, which is just 2 weeks from now. He doesn't seem like he is in nearly the rush that Rachel was.

We've had a lot of fun getting ready. It really seems like it has been a long time since we've had a baby in our house. The girls seem so grown up. Over break Rachel and I put up the crib. We have the easiest crib in the world to set up. It consists of only 7 pieces, super easy. We started putting things together without a problem. When I only had one piece left Rachel started telling me I put the crib together wrong. I reassured her that mommy has put the crib together many times before, I know what I'm doing and she didn't need to worry. She insisted that I put the crib together wrong. Again I told her I was fine. After putting on the last piece she reminded me again so I had her show me. And, of course, I did it wrong!!! How she knew, I don't know. Rachel is very good at putting things together. I humbly apologized to my 4 year old for not listening to her earlier. The worst part was taking the crib apart. The part I had put on backwards didn't want to come off! Oh well. I learned my lesson. Always listen!

The last piece of his bedding came this week so again Rachel helped me put everything together. We thought we'd start him off early in our family with a vintage Jaguar theme bedding. Glen and I bought and assembled his dresser (thank you Ikea). Then the girls and I painted blocks with his name. His little corner of our room is complete. Now we wait.
