To Tired to Think of a Witty Title
I'm 30 weeks, well a little over I guess and I'm starting to feel pretty uncomfortable. My husband saw me frowning about my sore back last night and commented that I'm probably ready to have the baby already. I thought about it for a second and realized I really am NOT ready. Not even a little bit. I haven't gotten one single thing ready, I guess March seems so far away, but when I break it down and say it's 8 1/2 weeks, it really seems very very close. I had a bit of a panic! First off, my husband has to build a loft bed for my oldest son, because the two older boys now have to start sharing a room. He's gung ho to do it, but he's also a procrastinator so I have to keep pushing to get him to start! I want to move them in together in February so they are really settled in before the baby comes. February is right around the corner! I have to organize all their clothes and toys and thin things out as storage will be alot more limited. Then, I have to still buy a new dresser for the baby's room, pull out all the old baby clothes, go through them and wash and put away what we're going to use. I have to track down bottles, and the pump and all the other baby paraphenalia and find a place to put it! Yikes! It's alot of work to do!I also have to finally make a decision as to when I'm going to stop working. My office has been asking and I've been putting it off, but I need to be fair and give them a date already. I really want to work as long as I can, but at the same time I'd like to take some time for me before the baby arrives. So far, I'm thinking I'd like 2 weeks off before baby day.
I've also been wishing for a baby shower lately. I wish that I could have another one (which is greedy I know) but I know I don't get to have one. Around here showers are for the first baby only and maybe you might get another if the next one is a different sex. But third baby of the same sex? No way. This being my last child I'm just wishing for the excitement of getting all those new baby things. Like I said, totally greedy, but this is the place for honesty!
So, baby on the brain all the time, but how can it not be right? The name game is still going on but I haven't been able to get my husband to agree to my number one choice which is Lane. I have reminded him that he said I could name this one, but he says he really really really doesn't like the name. He wants Griffin, which is strange because that's the name I was in love with while pregnant with my second and he wouldn't go for it. Now all of a sudden he likes it and to me it feels like a leftover (if that makes sense?) But it's the only one so far that we both think is okay, so it may end up being the one....I don't know. I'm still hoping for that moment when I hear the perfect name and just know it's the exact right one.

My dear, you've got to get moving on that bedroom (well, your husband does, at least), because there's always the possibility your newest little guy chooses an earlier birthdate than you expect.
I'm moving my two boys in together and ordered the furniture back in early November and was told to expect it around Christmas, but the latest ETA is early February, so I'm feeling lucky I didn't procrastinate on that one.
what if you combined the names - i think it would work either way... lane griffin or griffin lane - very modern!
and i think there's nothing wrong with wanting a baby shower - i threw one for my best friend when she had her second child... there was an 8-year gap between her 1st and the new one so i didn't think it mattered... worse case, maybe you can throw yourself one... ;)
