This weekend is the last weekend before the baby shower. We have a bazillion things to do to get the house ready and to get US ready. There’s a lot to be done, but I know it will totally be worth it. We have family from all over coming next Saturday and we’ll have plenty of food (and alcohol!). Jay has plans of videotaping the whole thing as well as taking tons of pictures. It will be interesting to see how everyone fits into our place — I didn’t expect such a big turnout otherwise I would have had it elsewhere.

It’s still crazy to think that we’re having a baby. Our living room is now filled with baby stuff — we definitely need to invest in more storage solutions. I’m sure it will help when the baby’s furniture arrives so we can start packing things away. Unfortunately for us, that isn’t due to happen for a few more weeks… and if the furniture arrives closer to 12 weeks than 8 weeks, we might have a baby in our house before we have a changing station!

I’ve been trying to read my hypnobabies material and listen to the cd’s every night. I know it’s supposed to help me relax, but I feel more anxious now since I’m reminded daily that this baby will soon have to come out. I don’t know if I’m more scared of the birth or of the fact that we’ll be responsible for a whole human being.
