Whoa

Now that the craziness of yesterday is over, it is starting to sink in that "Holy Crap! I'm having a baby in 7 weeks!"

Last night I was thinking about how I'm sort of lucky with this "pregnancy" because I can still get a full nights sleep up until he actually gets here. HA! That didn't so much happen... my mind is racing with about ten bizzillion things that need to get done.

I don't even really know where to start.

I'm having a baby. A baby!

Last night our dear friend (love you Auntie Lisa) showed me a picture of her oldest son holding Squirt the first time they babysat. He was soooo tiny! I seriously don't even remember him being that small. He was about 2 months old in the picture. And now we are starting all over with a new one.

Squishy deployed when Squirt was just a few weeks old, so I am beyond thankful that this time he will be home to experience the first smile, first rolling over... that sort of thing.

Random things that are swarming in my mind (this blog might feature a lot of these over the next few weeks).. how having a new baby is going to force Squirt to "grow up" maybe a little faster than I would like. My "baby" isn't going to be the baby anymore. I was thinking about how often we carry him and snuggle with him and all that. But now that might change a little. Or Squishy and I are really going to have to tag team a lot with this parenting gig. I totally have a single mom mentality and then just feel blessed when Squishy is around to help. The daycare has given me a taste of what it will be like to juggle two of them, but I still think it will be strange doing it 24 hours a day.

I've already got an amazing double stroller (technically it has a jump seat that turns it into a triple stroller), so I'm not afraid to travel. Just need to figure out how to get it in and out of my van. (Note to self: have Justin remove back seat of van before trip for more luggage space).

Okay, time to get off this blog and actually be productive. My nesting instinct is kicking in hardcore and since the boys are still sleeping, I have some alone time to work.
