David and I arrived back home this afternoon from another long weekend at my parents’ home. We were just there three weeks ago, but we knew this was our last opportunity to get away before the baby comes. This was our LAST time away overnight with just the two of us. Between baby showers and the Labor Day weekend, we won’t be going anywhere the next three weekends. After that, I’ll be in my last month and won’t want to be too far away from the doctor or my hospital.
I can only guess how many times we’ve taken weekend trips to visit my parents, gone to a bed and breakfast, gone on a weekend getaway, taken a vacation, taken a trip, etc. over the past ten years. It’s hard to believe that next time we go away overnight we’ll be loaded up with Peanut and all her stuff!
We have a delivery date and time set! And it is a SECRET!!! No, we’re not going to announce it. Well, of course, our parents will know and so on, but we’re not going to generally announce it. We decided we wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible. I, however, am guessing she is going to come early. I could be completely wrong and we could end up having her on the pre-determined date, but my guess is that she is going to want out earlier than that date. We’ll see!
We think we are about 90% settled on a name for Little Miss Peanut. We aren’t going to name her until we see her, but we’re pretty sure this is probably going to be it.
So, now I’m home and ready to start some serious nesting. I think I’ve been nesting since my morning sickness ended since I’m already a natural nester – pregnant or not – but now I am ready to start finishing up things around here in anticipation of her arrival. 🙂
Congratulations on finding out when your possible due date is and a name! How exciting! 🙂
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I want the name and delivery date!!!!!
Yesterday I found your blog. I have enjoyed reading it very much. I will definitely be back.
Enjoy enjoy enjoy! Enjoy the ‘twoness’ while it lasts. Enjoy the anticipation. Enjoy the attention (not always so easy!) Enjoy the delivery (…odd I know but despite the whole process I was able to be in control and enjoy on a certain level, giving birth), enjoy the excitement and the newness and everything! The rest of us will rejoice in God’s goodness to you and be praying very much for you in the coming weeks. It seems to me that you are much loved in the cyber world and I am pleased to add my love and prayers.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I did not know the delivery date of my first two children. Son 1 was 5 days late, and son 2 took us by suprise and arrived 4 weeks early.
I knew when our daughter was to arrive as I was in hospital with pre eclampsia and was told that I would be induced the next day! it was a very strange feeling.
Also its a good job that child 1 was a boy as I was in the delivery room and we could not make our minds up on a girls name, but had a boys name.
