I'm pregnant with one month to go!!! It has been an interesting eight months so far. Completely different then the first time I was pregnant, but still enjoyable. While I have been complaining of upset stomach for the first trimester, heartburn since the second, and backaches all of the third... I still find each month to be beautiful. Yet this time around I am ready to have the baby. I was a powerhouse the whole first preg and even went past my due date and nothing slowed me down. This go round, perhaps it is having a four year old, maybe it is being close to five years older, maybe it is being stuck inside all winter and not being able to go out running or at least walking because of all the snow, ice, and yes, that damn bitter cold, but I am ready for my due date to arrive.
I chose to not find out what we are having and love not really knowing. The surprise on baby's birthday will be indescribable. I didn't know the first time and wanted it to remain the same for baby two. My husband of course is begging me to find out and with my last ultrasound schedule coming Monday he has been questioning me again. Since he won't be there due to work, I'll still have my way!
Baby's room is ready to go with the crib set up, the toys all cleaned up and unpacked from the basement, diapers and wipes for at least two weeks sorted according to size, and little gender neutral clothes washed and folded into their own individual drawers. I love being organized, I love planning ahead, and everything has its place. Granted a toddler throws that off quite a bit but at least the baby room is in order for the time being.
The shower is schedule for approximately two months after the baby arrives. It will be at a local library and my mother-in-law will be the hostess. I know a few things to expect but she wants most of it to be a surprise. She threw a really nice baby shower for her daughter so I expect to be pleased.
In the months to come, I plan on updating on life with baby two, and of course other things like politics, green gardening, my search for employment, etc... In the meantime... it really is only One Month to Go!
