freaking out...

Okay...so all of the sudden all that is/needs to happen between now and when this baby is born just hit me! I am freakin! Up until this point I have felt really peaceful and calm about adding another child to our family and now with all that we have going on before he is born I can just tell I will be going crazy. I just finished up school clothes shopping for Noah and Zach. I can't believe that I have such big boys. I just bought Noah a size 1.5 shoe! What? I remember when I wore that size! He starts school next Monday and then Zach starts Kindergarten on the following Monday. The anxiety of bus rides, packing lunches, hoping that they have friends, knowing where to go, liking their teacher, and getting home safely has begun! Next week is Noahs first day, our 8th anniversary, Bailey's 3rd birthday, and then Zach's first day! I hope that after the craziness of all of that settles down I can start thinking about having everything ready for the baby. So if any of you see me in the next few weeks and I look/act a little off just realize that my pregnant emotions are running on full steam!

I know what you are talking about. When a baby is about to be born all the other stresses in your life are amplified. It like you just want everything to be in order and so when there are any uncertainties it can feel really crazy. There is a moment near the end of the pregnancy when you switch from feeling like your going to be pregnant forever to feeling like things are happening way too fast. Good luck with all the school stuff and I hope you can have a great anniversary. Let me know if you need a babysitter!!

It's not been that long since I was at the point you're at and feeling exactly the same way! Hang in there and don't be afraid to ask for some help. You should drop Bailey by here when the boys are in school so you can have some alone time before the new little one arrives.
By the way, my baby is getting big already so you better let me steal yours when he's tiny. It's my favorite thing. :)

Wow you have a packed few weeks. Good luck with all that. I just realized that I should start freaking out about our baby, but the sad thing is that I only have two more weeks to freak out. I should have done it a while ago.....
