Okay, so there have been some changes over the weekend. I will spare everyone the details but let's just say that we think Junior will not wait until his due date to arrive. I have put myself on bed rest for the next week- in hopes that he stays put a little longer. While I have been taking it easy Chris has been running around like a mad man.
Saturday he made a baby supply run. We now have diapers, wipes, some onsies, diaper cream, a mattress, sheets and pacifiers. There are a few other things we need but I am not worried about getting them. After all, when I do deliver I will be in the hospital for 2 days- so we will manage. Our car seat is in the car, not hooked up but in the car, and our bags are packed.
Yesterday, Chris spent most of the day at Home Depot. He has ordered most of the supplies we need to finish the basement (everything from the toilet to nails) and I think that they are delivering the sheet rock and insulation one day this week. It is a sigh of relief to both of us that we have everything ordered or under control. The basement won't be done by the time we meet our son but will we get it done soon after. Along with shopping, yesterday my engineer put all of our expenses in a spread sheet and we know exactly how much we need to sell the house for when we leave. That is another weight off our chest. We have dropped a lot of money into this house but think it will all be worth it in the end.
Okay, I need to get back to propping my feet up.

I'm glad you put yourself on bedrest. I know it must suck, but just remember it is temporary! How are you feeling?
Yeah, Jamie. Just breathe deep and relax. I feel your pain! Keep a list in case you think of anything you'll, and Chris can check on the list a couple of times a day. Hopefully that can help keep the stress level down.
