Only 7 more weeks...

It's crazy to think that Piper's expected due date is only 7 weeks away. It seems like just yesterday I was 7 weeks pregnant. Of course, if she's anything like her mom she'll be late. But wow... time really does fly.

Jason was lucky enough to have off this past Monday (I can't say the same for myself) and he got a lot done around the house. The nursery is technically done. All the furniture is put together and the closet now has more shelves for extra storage. Now we just need to organize and decorate. Chester is also excited because he now has his own door down to the basement (and boy what a difference that makes in the temperature of our kitchen... it's nice to be able to keep that door closed).

We have been keeping ourselves busy with various baby classes. We just finished up our Childbirth classes last weekend. At the end of the class was a tour of Labor & Delivery. The rooms seem pretty nice. I don't know why, but I am paranoid that every other pregnant woman in Philadelphia is going to be in labor at the same time as me and there are going to be no open room available when we arrive at the hospital and I'll have to give birth in a wheelchair in the hallway. Keep your fingers crossed that doesn't happen. The same is true for the postpartum floor. They have mostly private rooms, but also a few shared rooms. They said that they use the shared rooms as a last resort, when all the private rooms fill up. But of course, going along with my fear of having to deliver in the hallway, I'm worried I'm going to get stuck in one of the shared rooms with some crazy lady with loud crazy family members. Why don't you all cross your toes for me too... I need all the luck I can get.

I've also been keeping myself busy shopping for baby clothes. I never knew how much fun shopping for baby clothes could be. Granted I really have no idea what babies are supposed to wear and how many of each item they're supposed to have, but that doesn't really matter. Piper is still going to look cute, no matter what. She may outgrow half of her wardrobe before she hits 3 months, but then we can just dress up the cat in it (he looks really cute in a onesie).

This week now brings us an Infant CPR class on Thursday night and a shopping spree at Babies R Us on Saturday morning. First we need to learn how to save Piper's life, then we get to finish buying all the stuff she needs (who knew babies needed so much stuff?). I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
