8 Weeks Just Turned into 6 - YIKES!

Well, we thought we had 8 weeks to go until our baby girl debuts March 26th, but now we've been informed that we're on a fast-track and have 6 weeks to go at the most. Yep, this baby is growing a bit fast, which really shouldn't surprise us considering the fact that Shawn was a 13-pounder!

So at the latest, we'll be induced around March 12th. Don't misunderstand - I'm all for meeting our daughter sooner than later, but that only gives me a few more weeks to get ready. Her nursery is coming along, but I still have much to do. I started making a list of everything that has to be accomplished before her head pops out and it made me start to hyperventilate, so I tore the list up. My friends are sweet, reassuring me that whatever isn't done is no big deal and all that. That once she's here we won't care if everything is put together, our furniture is steam-cleaned, and Brisket is magically trained to be perfectly obedient. But I just can't get there mentally.

It feels as if I spent the first two semesters just lolly-gagging around. I should have been doing more. I still haven't finished reading "Becoming Baby Wise" or "The Happiest Baby on the Block." My company hosted us an AWESOME shower this week and their generosity definitely got me in the "ok, she's about to be here" mindset. It felt like we were one step closer to feeling better prepared. Friends and family are hosting our couples' baby shower in 2 weeks and I'm sure once that gets here, my heart rate will slow down a bit.

But the weeks are blazing towards us faster than I can say "butt paste." Oh what to do what to do...
