Baby Evlyn: 38 Weeks

Blood pressure: 116/56
Weight: +1 since my last appt
Cravings: the Moolinium Crunch Blue Bell ice cream that's staring at me from our freezer

The handout they give me at each OB appointment explains what will happen at my next check-up. The one they they gave me yesterday said, "next appointment - delivery". Holy smokes. Things just got really REAL.

This last 2 weeks my nesting hormones went into overdrive. We got Jonah's old crib re-assembled, picked up some bedding we found on Craigslist, and loaded up an antique dresser with freshly laundered baby clothes. I packed my hospital bags (Nannie Blanket included), and now that the Ford Edge is repaired and back in our garage, the carseat is installed.

Gracie has been testing out all the baby stuff with her Cabbage Patch doll named...Baby Evlyn. Last night she tucked the doll into the crib, prayed and sang "Jesus Loves the Baby Evlyns", then turned out the light. Michael and I listened around the corner and tried not to boohoo (audibly).

Ok, so I know baby Evlyn has arrived, but I still have to comment on this one, now that I am FINALLY reading it! This so so so reminds me of Lester when we were getting ready for the girls' arrival. He tested out the crib, carseats, and swings with his Elmo doll. Gracie is going to be the bestest big sister ever! :) So happy for you all, congrats! xoxo
