Well my due date has officially arrived and gone! I had a feeling that might happen! I’m very thankful that all of our little ones have baked for at least 40 weeks! My oldest came exactly at 40 weeks and our youngest came at 41 weeks. I am still holding out hope that this little one decides to arrive before 41 weeks, but we will just have to see! Just in case you’re in the same boat with being pregnant, uncomfortable and just plain ready to have your baby, I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been doing to help pass the time!

Cleaning

There’s no such thing as a house that is too clean! At least I hope not. And with 2 girls who are constantly on the move, I don’t think that’s possible for us. For the past 2 weeks, I have made it my goal to keep each room in decent shape. Not spotless! It takes a lot of energy, but I wanted to make sure that the house wasn’t a mess when it was “go time!”

Watching T.V.

I have binge watched quite a few shows lately! Including Bates Motel and The Fall on Netflix. Lifetime has also helped to pass some Saturday nights and HULU has been a lifesaver for the rest of the shows that I love!

Ordered Take Out

I’m not sure why I felt the need to eat all of my favorite foods over the weekend, but I did! I really wanted chinese food, pizza, oatmeal raisin cookies and Coldstones. I think it’s because once this little one does arrive, I know that it will be a while before we plan to be out and about a lot with him or her! Although I don’t think I’ll be able to stay cooped up in the house for too long!

Test Out Baby Equipment

This has probably been one of my favorite things to do, next to eating all of my favorite foods! We purchased most of our larger items pretty early on as I was overly anxious to have everything ready for baby! Everything was immediately put together and has been either sitting in it’s place or stored away. Over the last couple of weeks, I thought it would be a great to idea to test everything out to make sure that we know how to use it. This included pushing the stroller around the living room, taking off the seat and car seat to make sure we remembered how to do that. Trying out my breast pump. I nursed Addie, so I don’t know why that was necessary. But I figured at least I’d know that the pump turned on and worked. Washing all of the bottle pieces and trying on our diaper bag! It’s amazing how much time goes by while doing most of these silly little things!

So as we continue to wait on baby, we appreciate all of your messages and calls. It really means a lot to us. We are so excited to share the news with you when it happens.
