You actually don't need much stuff, all the preparations do indeed seem to just pass the time of the pregnancy. Those last few weeks were LOOOONNNNGGGGG. I hope you go into labor early, because every 5 minute interval after your due date is like an eternity.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015353387009923240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-54880169861171372272011-09-17T18:04:22.129-07:002011-09-17T18:04:22.129-07:00Wow...37 weeks!

As soon as I read your entry today, I thought of my own revelation (hope you don't mind me pointing you to it):<br /><br />http://inourownweirdway.blogspot.com/2010/01/revelation.html<br /><br />You are amazing.

Musical theatre nerds, unite! <br /><br />Truly impressed with all you've accomplished in recent months. Pretty crazy when the baby part gets really real, huh? So excited for you all! Bella especially. :) And I need to get you your onesie! xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-38481561944190115202011-09-16T07:43:09.462-07:002011-09-16T07:43:09.462-07:00Hooray for full-term!

I'll be there in 5 days :) I can say that in a way, parenthood changes everything (primarily in terms of having to submit to baby's schedule and always have a plan for him or her--no last-minute date nights, for instance!), but it doesn't change who you and your husband are, doesn't mean you can't do the things you enjoy (we've always taken our son to restaurants, and because he's used to it, he can behave even in nice ones, even though he's 2)--it just takes more planning with a kid! You will be a wonderful mother, and surprisingly quickly all the massive changes of having a baby in your house will just become a normal part of your routine. I'm starting to freak out a little about the actual childbirth thing, and having two little ones to raise, but I know I'll get through the birth part and love the two kids part, just like, despite the upheaval, I adapted to and adored becoming our son's mom just 4 days after learning he existed! Excited to hear about Smudgie's arrival in the next few weeks!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319707316191000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-81585275256539732022011-09-16T07:17:41.733-07:002011-09-16T07:17:41.733-07:00Congrats on full term!

They are little strangers, and at least in my experience, it'll be WEIRD when Smudgie is here. Everything is different - whether different good or different bad, it's so much to adjust to, but you, LG and Bella will do it beautifully.<br /><br />From what you've written about LG, I suspect he'll be an amazing daddy and you will only fall even more in love with him.<br /><br />Huge happy hugs!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571149055152186880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-61680864640017195302011-09-16T06:39:54.717-07:002011-09-16T06:39:54.717-07:00I saw your tweet this morning about hitting 37 wee...I saw your tweet this morning about hitting 37 weeks and got so excited for you.

It must be an extra nice feeling to have gotten so much done the last two months and now just being able to focus on the baby. I had my laundry done three months in advance. Dumb in hindiste bc that far too early and I ended up doing it again two weeks before my due date. are you cooking and freezing stuff for after you bring baby home? That was the smartest thing I did, as cooking was not a priority. Not that eating was either :o) hope you pamper yourself silly this month.siennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982230898962770375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-19706220816253115282011-09-16T06:24:19.903-07:002011-09-16T06:24:19.903-07:00So wonderful, I hope you are able to enjoy these l...So wonderful, I hope you are able to enjoy these last few weeks.
