IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!

Now you get to read the rest of this blog entry with the 80's song in your head. It's now my theme song, since it takes a little pumping up just to walk down the hall to the bathroom at work. Little Guy is due 4 weeks from tomorrow! My energy is waning and I've had some REALLY uncomfortable days, but overall I think I'm pretty lucky.

We had our last parenting class yesterday - Infant Safety & CPR. It was upsetting just to think about using anything we learned in the class, but it also helps me to feel more ready. We know what to do in the worst possible situation, so I feel less pressure to know everything else. I spent a good part of last week studying up on baby poop - who knew there could be so many variations??

I know I've said it before, but Little Guy is REALLY getting big now. He's been poking his feet out my side all day, and I'm not so sure all of his adorable little socks are going to fit those boats!
His room is almost ready. We finally found a lamp and curtains after an exhausting day of shopping on Saturday. I was dead set on finding something before we went home, and Adam very patiently drove me to every store I could think of. We even thought about custom ordering curtains at JC Penney, but the saleswoman was really rude to us. We could tell it was because she sized us up as having no money; I was wearing a wrinkled men's tshirt and my hair was in a messy ponytail.

Adam has been really great about helping around the house, and it's been really cool going through this process together. During a break at one of our parenting classes, all of the moms rushed to the bathroom, and as we came out the dads were lined up in the hallway waiting. It was cute to see Adam standing there as one of the dads. They all had similar dazed looks on their faces. Adam is one of the most easy-going people I know, but even he gets a little nervous about the birth and parenting.
