5 weeks to go!!

I cannot believe that we are down to 5 weeks...I mean seriously that's only one hand. It's funny in some ways I bursting at the seams with excitment but I'm also a little nervous...not sure if I have all the stuff I need or if I will know what to do. When do those "mommy eyes" develop in the back of my head...haha I keep trying to calm my nerves but thinking "I'm a nurse how bad can I be at this" hahaha not really helping though.
I have been on the lookout for one of those wraps to carry the baby in anyone know where to find one? Someone told me there is a store on the plaza but it's hiding from me....
Her room is mostly done now and her clothes are away...I've started packing a "go bag" for the hospital but I think my nerves are getting the best of me so I keep putting that to the side. Mac should be home in about 4 and 1/2 weeks (cutting it a little to close for comfort) I'm beyond excited about that! I've missed him so much this last time.
So any advise from you pros out there I'm all ears!!

GO WILDCATS!!

I just had to throw that title in there because we are currently kicking KU's butt! =) I feel like it's been forever since I've blogged so I'm doing a little catch up this evening. So I'm almost 34 weeks now...was getting nervous about my weight gain at work the other day so the sonographer did some measurements for me. My little one is up to 4lbs 11oz....which is totally crazy to me considering that she will be bigger than my birth weight very soon. If she keeps cooking for 6 more weeks she could be a bigger girl....oooo nervous...I'd like a natural child birth so she better slow her roll...hahaha
This weekend is baby shower is this weekend, that should be fun. I'm excited about the desserts...=) Makes it very real that this is actually happening. I'm at the point now where I could go into labor at any moment...yikes very scary. I hope she stays put for a while though...I really don't want Mac to miss it...I'm trying worry to much, I feel like stress won't promote me not going into labor most likely the exact opposite. We will see how it goes I have good friends and family here but it's just not the same as having Mac. I'm missing him a lot lately...not much longer he will be home soon!
Have a good weekend everyone!!
