57 days left

I am 32 weeks along in my pregnancy leaving me 57 days left until my due date. Saryn was born two weeks early so this baby could arrive early as well. Or maybe she'll be completely different from her sister and arrive 2 weeks late! Either way, we want her to stay right where she is until she is developmentally ready to arrive.



Most everything is done except random things that I want done before the baby comes. For example, I want the carpets cleaned, couches cleaned, hall bathroom upstairs painted, master bathroom trim painted, lawn seeded & mulched. You know, typical things people do when they have a baby. ;)



Since we are planning on putting our house on the market before or right after the baby is born, we are also getting our house ready for showings. Ideally, I would like to get all of the work done before she arrives. Right now everything is set up and should be done before our new one decides to make her grand entrance into the world. There are still a few things that are on my list that will have to wait to be done until the week before we put the house on the market - those items of course will have to wait. :)



I've even made myself a hair appointment in late April so I won't have to worry about that for quite a while!

The only thing left we have to do for the baby is to get something for her to sleep in and a double stroller. I have a friend who has offered to sell me her old double stroller for a great price so I am going to check it out this weekend. As for the bed for the baby - I think we might just go with our old pack-n-play for a while. Still not 100% sold on that idea and I am still looking on craigslist to see if I find anything I like. We can't really use the cradle that we used with Saryn because we don't want Saryn to be able to reach the baby. I'm not too worried about that part yet. We have a pack-n-play the baby can use and she can always sleep in the carseat next to our bed until we figure out something more permanent.



Jordan and I need to go visit the hospital as we will be delivering this baby at WakeMed in Cary vs Rex with Saryn. We are still working on names for this baby - still not 100% sure of the middle names. We still have 6 weeks left, right? :)
