Time is NOT on our side!

We're to 34 weeks! That means we've got six to work with... John will be gone for a week for training (stateside), so really we've got five weeks... The paint is on the walls, the plumbing is fixed, the crib is on it's way, and we have a car seat to bring Baby home in! Good, great! But:

One of the advantages to registering at Babies R Us was their registry close-out program. When you close your registry you get 10% off everything left on it! We're super stoked about getting a break like that. We went to the store the other night to get the stroller/car seat and thought we'd ask about closing out our registry while we were there. Glad we asked! There's a catch we didn't notice in the fine print... You can't get the 10% until you get the coupon in the mail. They send out the coupons every two weeks, so depending on where our due date lies in their process we may not get our coupon until after Baby comes home!! I (being a bit on the compulsive, crazy side) wanted everything in the house by the beginning of November... Not only is that not going to work, it may be the beginning of December before we CAN get the rest of our baby crap!!

I think, though, I would have had more of a melt down if I wasn't so far along. Baby is big, and healthy, and he's coming! I WANT him to come! I want to see his little face. Also he's starting to become a bit of a nuisance at night, he likes to push his foot against the mattress as hard as he can. It was cute in the beginning, when "as hard as he can" wasn't all that hard, but he's getting strong now! I'm afraid he's going to kick a hole in my right side! Of course, on the bright side, he's getting bigger.... I mean, older. He responds to things now. He responds to John's touch and Conley's barking. When John reads to him he sticks his butt out as hard as he can! It takes my breath away (physically and otherwise)! We so cannot wait to meet him, hopefully he likes us!!
