the current state of things

39 weeks 3 days!

The car seat is properly installed and checked by certified car seat people. I've sterilized the pacifiers and washed all the little baby clothes.  We've gotten out all the baby things and have properly tested them all on the cat :)  I do have a baby sling that is yet to be Dory-tested.

Dory the cat approves the baby play gym :) 

I am preparing myself for this baby to come tomorrow... and also come two weeks from tomorrow.  May 7th would likely be an induction date if baby decides he doesn't want to come on his own! But two weeks is still plenty of time for him to decide to meet the world.

The baby room is ready!!  Nursery tour post coming soon....

But here is the current state of things in our bedroom and guest room.

I feel like I'll have plenty of time this week to work on those rooms. If not, oh well :)  Be warned, family and visitors!

  I have one last fun day, a field trip day, and a family night for my after school job this week.  But I got through the necessary stuff and I'm relived that I have! That second pictures is mostly stacks of school stuff that needs to be sorted.  

Probably done with substitute teaching.  I've learned the past couple weeks that it kinda makes people nervous to have a full term pregnant person around.  Apparently if your baby is due within two weeks, one should not go anywhere!  Or you should expect a lot of "oh my!" comments!  I might miss subbing.. I had a lot of fun experiences this last month or so and felt like I connected with lots of high school students.  I've seen a few around town (or working at restaurants and stores) and I'm sure that will continue this summer-- but this time with my baby outside of me! 

And finally, a picture of a packed freezer. I am ready to not cook for a while! 

I'm looking forward to a week or so that looks a lot like this...
