Carmen will be here one week from tomorrow. We are so excited! I feel like I have prepared as much as one can. I have diapers stashed downstairs, in our room, in her room and clothes stashed everywhere too. She has a ton of clothes, given to us from friends who had little girls and from our 2 work showers. Everything is sorted and organized to the T. Our house is clean, our fridge stacked, her car seat installed. I know a newborn is a whole lot of work but I have done all the ground work and am ready for the dirty stuff. I think so anyways! I know almost nothing prepares you for a newborn but at least I've been down this road once before and I know it will be hard. I'm thankful my parents live closeby this go around for the extra hands.
Since I will have her one week before her due date, I am currently 38 weeks. I estimate baby Carmen weights 7 pounds right now based on a sonogram I had a couple weeks ago when she was 6lbs, 3 ozs. Here I am at 37 weeeks. I am my own bad phone photographer.
We have been blessed to have 2 great showers. One by my coworkers and one by David's. Unfortunately, I did not get great pictures at the one with my coworkers. But it was an awesome shower, complete with a double decker cake and over 20 friends! My parents, sister, David and Vince joined in the celebration that was over lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant. David's shower was more of a suprise. They decorated his office while he was at a meeting. Apparently,this was all oranized over a period of time without him knowing. It was totally unexpected, and very much appreciated! I do have a picture of his office and of some of the loot that was received!
Aren't these dresses so adorable?!? I can't wait to dress a girl! It will be so different. It will be interesting to learn how to do her hair. I don't even touch Vince's hair daily!!
See you soon Carmen!
