Ready or Not

I can't tell you how many times in the last week someone has asked me if I'm ready for Thursday.  My first thought is always yes, but I really don't think anyone can ever be all the way ready for such a major thing.  So my reply always seems to be "yes" at first, but then after I think about it for a second, the only thing I can think of is "ready or not".  :) 

The plan for this weekend was to spend one last relaxing weekend together before our little boy comes into this world.  I must say we did A LOT of relaxing, and we also got A LOT of things done.  We spent all day Saturday running a ton of errands, doing laundry, and of course napping.  Today was packed full of more errands, grocery shopping, UK basketball, and more napping. 

Brad asked me today if I was nervous, and I really don't think I am right now.  I know once Thursday gets here the nerves will start to set in since I don't really like hospitals, and I have never had to go through anything like a c-section before, but I am not worried about it because I know that it will be all worth it once we see Cooper's face.

So, as I really start to think about how ready I am for Thursday to get here, I keep seeing a to-do list in my head....
  1. Cooper's room- CHECK
  2. My bag packed- CHECK
  3. Cooper's bag packed- HALF-WAY CHECK
  4. Car seat installed- CHECK
As for Bailey, I think she's slowly starting to get used to the idea of having a little brother.  We put together his bouncy seat last weekend, and we turned our back for a second to look at the directions, and this is where she was...
The seat has been sitting in our living room since this day, and she hasn't paid anymore attention to it.  Thank goodness!  

The more I think about it, the more I know we're ready. It seems like we've waited so long for this, and I can't believe the time is already here. In 4 days we will be holding our little boy!!!! How can we NOT be ready for that?!
