36 weeks 4 days-16 days left!!!

So we're getting REALLY excited to finally meet our little girl!  We can't believe it's already December and now with just two and a half weeks left it just feels so real yet so surreal at the same time...I read through all my pregnancy posts and realize that 9 months really does fly right by (even though it doesn't feel like it especially at the beginning when I was so worried)  I just hope that we're prepared to have a baby in the house...I can only do so much and I think without her here it's impossible to know.  We do have all the necessities though...plenty of diapers and wipes, a swing, a pack and play, crib, ext.  I do wonder if I'm going to want a glider in the nursery...as of right now we have the couch with a little ottoman so I guess we'll try it out and if it doesn't work I guess we can always go buy a glider no problem.

It shocks me a little bit that John and I didn't take one baby class...I hope we're not in for a big disaster.  When I went over to Elissa's to visit Landon it seemed like that was just as good as any baby care basic class...He seems so easy though!  I have a feeling Ava's going to be a bit of a handful...although she's been really good in my tummy.  We'll soon see!  It's crazy-just not knowing but having so many questions!  What's she going to look like?  What color eyes?  Skin?  How much will she weight and how tall will she be?  What kinda baby is she going to be?  How is my delivery going to go?  I hope inducing is a good decision!  Well at least we know one thing...we're going to love this little girl so much!

I still haven't been sleeping well at all...I think a huge part of it is just the anxiety at this point!  I can't stop thinking about Ava...my little girl  :)  Rusty has been a great buddy throughout my sleepless nights...no matter how many times I change rooms or positions, he's right here by my side.  My arm actually is resting on him right now while I type.  I really hope he's ok when Ava comes...I know he loves my complete attention but hopefully we'll all get along great and he'll take well to having a baby in the house.
