39 Weeks!

I went to the doctor today and I am progressing in my labor. I am dilated to a 2. My due date is in 6 days, but if not, she will induce me the 27th! I am very uncomfortable, sore, tired etc...  and I would love him to come any day now. I am grateful for the experience I have had to carry this little guy. I am nervous for the big life changes for us, but feel that we are as ready as we'll ever be and that he is suppose to come into our lives. I'm scared to death of delivery, but am hopeful that everything will work out. Hurry up Duder Jr.! P.S. Sorry if you've already seen this on my facebook page... 

Carlyle...

John's little brother sent this pic of Carlyle to me. I am missing her so much. She was my little buddy! She is getting used to living with John's family, but still harassing their dog. haha. She is quite the little stinker at their house. She is a completely different cat at our house. Anyway, John's mom was going to bring her when she comes to see the baby in early November, but now we are thinking we won't get to see her until Christmas! We have no one to take care of her while we're gone during Christmas break. It's so sad. My heart aches to see her. I hope she knows we didn't abandon her! Luckily she is in good hands! Hopefully we can bring her back with us after Christmas. Although that will be tricky with a baby, all of his stuff, and all of our stuff. Hopefully it'll work out. We miss her! Love you Carlyle!

Baby Gear

We finally decided on a Pack' N Play with a bassinet for the baby. I'm not sure if we made the right choice, but it's too late now. I like it well enough, just not sure if it's too harsh or dark for him. It looks better in person. I love the canopy! I put my new Keep Calm and Carry On pillow in it just for fun. His Car Seat/stroller base is all black too. I guess we can add colorful blankets to warm them up? Both of them are double duty, which is nice because we have a very tight space to work with. I wish I had a nursery to decorate and show you. Hopefully in our next place! The Pack' N Play has a changer station/diaper holder in it. The portable swing we got is just the opposite. It's very colorful and a little feminine! Haha. Hopefully they will work out well. We are ready for him to come now! Please come early Duder Jr! 

This is the flip out changer station.
