The Waiting Game

Emily at 39 weeks

It has been a busy couple of weeks. Matt and I bought a car. It's a Hyundai Sonata which Matt will primarily drive. I will now drive the Santa Fe and the Mustang will be a fun/weekend car. Matt has installed the car seat in the Santa Fe. We have mostly packed our hospital bag. We have washed and made up the cradle in our room. The pack-n-play is set up and is currently holding all the clothes, blankets, and other items that have been washed in Dreft. We checked on the furniture and it has been back ordered so it likely won't arrive until after the baby is born. My toes are painted and looking lovely. The changing table and basket of supplies, i.e. diapers, creams, and wipes are organized on the dresser.... and now we wait for Baby Chatham.

We have definitely reached the point where we are as prepared as we are going to get and would like to meet the little guy. Our doctor appointment's have all gone well and things are progressing, but nothing is imminent. The baby will likely miss his due date as most first-borns do. Now I get a daily greeting of "You're still here!?!" when I get to work which is funny to me. I don't know what I'd be doing at the house and I feel fine so I'll save my time off for when the baby is here.

Matt and I saw Batman over the weekend and it was great. It will probably be the last movie we see in the theater for awhile so I'm glad it was such a good one. We also ate at one of our favorite restaurants, which is not one you'd bring a baby/small child to, so it was good to eat there one last time. I'll close with a funny picture. It compares my belly to a 21 lb. watermelon.
