Snow!

Friday night brought about 3 inches of snow. The first thing Colin said when he woke up was "Let's go play in the snow!" I didn't have quite as much enthusiasm as he did, but took him out for a walk to "stomp" around the neighborhood, and of course everything looked beautiful covered in a blanket of white. When Evan got home later in the morning, they went back out for some sledding.

I knocked more things off my baby to do list as well. My hospital bag is 90% packed, his going home outfits are picked out, and evan attatched the ride on board to our stroller so Colin can stand and ride while the baby sits. I feel 98% ready for this baby- diaper changing station is ready, clothes are clean,tucked into his drawers, all the baby gear has been washed with new batteries, I'm ready with supplies and support for breastfeeding or bottle feeding, freezer is semi stocked with food for easy dinners, I've even preloaded everyone's addresses so ill actually send out baby announcements this time. I pampered myself with a massage, haircut and mani/pedi. On Friday I interviewed a great girl who will come babysit once a week after all our family has left, I figured a few hours a week to ourselves when the baby comes will be well worth it. 
The only things left to do are install the baby car seat, knock out any laundry ( our washer is acting up and I'm hoping evan can fix it today!) and make one more trip to the grocery store. A cleaning lady is coming today to get the house nice and clean for the baby's arrival and I'm going to set her up to come every 2 weeks until I get in the swing of things and can do it myself again. Now...the biggest thing that is still not done is picking out his name, we are still undecided and it is really getting close!! 





The doctor told me Id be in the hospital 2 nights, which means I'm most likely bringing the baby home on Valentine's Day! Yesterday we ironed this onto a little onesie for him to wear home :)
