Week 36/37!!!

Hey Everyone!!! I am very excited to announce that I am officially "full term" yay baby Bradford!! Today I am 37 weeks and 4 days!! We are ready and waiting for Bradford's arrival. His room is ready (except for the glider that will be here on Friday it has officially shipped!). We will complete all of our childbirth classes tomorrow!! I have packed Bradford's bag for the hospital. My bag is packed as much as it can be, of course there are several last minutes items that I will have to add, but I have a list of those items handy. Will, I am sure will pack at the last minute, but men can pack like that haha! Will and I put together Bradford's pack and play and swing this weekend. Bradford will sleep in our room in the pack and play for the first few weeks/month of his life.Well at least that is the "plan". I have read a lot about newborns and what to do and what not to do but I am going to try to just go with what works best for him and us. Those that know me well know that this is probably going to be difficult, because I am big on planning and organization. I have been trying very hard to let go and go with the flow more during this pregnancy. I know that everything will work out the way it is supposed to and that I am not in control of this situation, which is very hard when it comes to his birth and birthday! Everyone keeps asking when Bradford will be born and I HAVE NO CLUE!!! We go for our weekly checkup on Wednesday and I would like to think that we will know more at that time, but I doubt it. I love my Dr. because she is so very honest. She says that she could tell us things like "he should be here soon due to xyz" or "he is not ready to come out due to xyz" but she says she would most likely be wrong! Babies come when they are good and ready!!! All I know is that we will be ready for him when he comes!!! Please keep us in your prayers as we wait to become a family of three!

Week 34/35

Hey everyone!!! I am 35 weeks and 5 days! Most babies are born between 36 and 41 weeks so the wait is on.....although I am anxious to meet baby Bradford I hope he stays as long as he wants/needs unless its past 41 weeks because I would rather not be induced. My doctor will not allow me to go more that 41 weeks, and I am sure that I will be pretty ready by then too!! We are almost finished with Bradford's room. All  we are missing is his glider that I ordered in June, but they claim it will be here by September 20th. So I am not going to stress I am not going to stress I am not going to stress.....can you tell its stressing me out a little haha. Will and I have been attending childbirth classes and will continue to attend through the end of September! I would like to get through all of our classes before Bradford arrives, but if we don't I am sure we will figure it out on our own haha! We went to the Ole Miss football game in Oxford this past weekend and had a BLAST! It is most likely the only game we will make it to this season and I am so glad they WON!! I cannot wait for next football season when he can go to the grove and wear his cute Ole Miss gear!!
