Well, I am just one day shy of the 34 week mark and can't believe miss Melody will be here in about six more weeks! Each day as she grows a little bit more I find myself in awe that we created this little baby that is about to be apart of our lives. Reality sets in as a few of my friends have had their babies and I realize that I'm not too far behind. I've been watching all sorts of Baby shows on TLC which has helped me get into the mindset that I too will be delivering and taking home our little baby girl. This past weekend Ryan and I took a tour of the hospital and were really impressed with the rooms. I'm delivering at St. Davids North off of Parmer/Mopac and feel like we will have a nice comfortable set-up. However, as we toured the entire women's center and various delivery rooms I still had a hard time believing that I would be lying on one of those beds giving birth myself! I guess it's not gonna feel real until the time comes and we are actually at the hospital surrounded my doctors and nurses telling us "it's time".
So until Melody arrives, Ryan and I plan on really making the most of our "free" time because I know things will be very different come the end of December. I have gradually cut down my work load and plan on being completely done seeing clients and hosting at the Melting Pot by the end of this month. I will continue to nanny into the first week or so of December assuming things are still on track in my pregnancy. So far things have been progressing well, so we'll just take each week as it comes. We still have a lot of work to do around the house to get ready for Melody's arrival, but I'm sure we'll be able to finish setting the nursery up this next month. I actually have one more shower to look forward to this weekend in Houston and then we will have a good feel for whatever else we may need to purchase. Ryan and I have been so thankful for all the gifts and thoughtfulness of friends and family to make preparation much easier on us! We are constantly amazed that we have so many people surrounding us in love and support.
