Okay Baby Barrett, we're READY! The carseat is installed and the hospital bag is packed. The nursery is all ready and mom and dad are VERY anxious to meet you!!
It's official. As of today, we truly are ready. I think our little hospital trip made us realize that Baby B's arrival could be any day now and the last two things we needed to do, got a bit more important.
Turns out installing a car seat isn't that bad at all! Thank goodness for our cars having the latches for the car seats. What we thought would be an hour install was really only about twenty minutes. And most of that was double checking that it really was installed correctly and tightly since it was way too easy. Then we both sat in the car, looked back at the backseat, and smiled. There is a car seat in our car. Whoa!!
Once we got over that emotional hurdle, I grabbed my carry-on suitcase and began packing. I had a list of everything we needed to bring, but took the time to gather it all and put it in the suitcase. I'm sure I over-packed (as I always do) and although we only live 10 minutes from the hospital, I'd rather be overly prepared, right? Looking in the nursery and seeing a suitcase all ready to go, makes it that much more real.It really could happen any day now. When we finally get to meet this lil bugger. EEK!!
15 days to go till the big due date!! Im soooo soooo sooo super excited for you two!! I cant wait for the arrival of baby B (although I'm thinking its a baby boy).
