Just one month.
As in four weeks.
Until mini-martin's due date.
March 7th has seemed like worlds away for so long.
It is a day I know will eventually come, but I have no clue how it will go.
I am a control lover.
A wedding, a party, a holiday...
I can plan it like a professional.
The day I become a Mommy and we become parents...
I am lost.
Here are the things I know:
1.
I will be a complete mess no matter what.
Just thinking about meeting this mystery person that has shared my body for the past 9 months makes me cry big fat happy tears.
MM and I started dating in high school.
For so long I have hoped for, prayed for, and dreamed about our future together.
We have been immeasurably blessed and are so thankful for God's greatness.
I can not even imagine holding His perfect creation and combination of us for the first time.
Here is proof of just how emotional I am already!
2.
This little crib will be holding or precious angel very soon.
Hopefully, our rocker will arrive before mini does too.
After his/her arrival a gender specific rug and accents will also be added.
3.
These fun baby accessories will actually be put to use!
4.
Mini-Martin will be likely be soothed by the sound of a vacuum cleaner.
They say if you sing to your baby while pregnant, he/she will recognize your song and be soothed by it once he/she arrives.
Well, this girl can not sing!
I don't even sing to myself.
But, I do vacuum almost daily like a crazy lady.
Hopefully, mini recognizes this lovely noise and Momma can clean away once he/she is here!
5.
I will stress over every little decision I must make pertaining to this sweet baby.
See.
I can't even decide on a delivery day beanie!
So, here are the SIX different alternatives I made.
6.
MM will be an outstanding Daddy.
He already loves our little girlie fur ball like it's going out of style.
7.
I have SO much to do in the next month.
I have diligently been focusing on NP clinic hours so mini-Martin can have my undivided attention once he/she comes.
I currently have 168 out of 240 hours completed.
So, that's 72 more to go!
I think it can... I think I can... I know I can!
Well, this is another post written before 7 am.
{Sleep and I are not the best of friends these days.}
But, off to the clinic I go!
We have another mini-Martin check up tomorrow!
During our last visit he/she wasn't cooperating for the ultrasound tech and we didn't get any great pictures. Too many hands and feet in the face!
We did learn that mini-Martin isn't so "mini" anymore.
{5lbs 3oz at 35 weeks}
We can't wait to see how much growing took place in a week.
Gauging by the size of my belly, I'm guessing a lot!
Let the countdown to meeting mini-Martin begin!

Hey girl! New follower here. Congrats on your soon-to-be bundle. We didn't know the gender of our babies either and it was THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. It is hard to "plan" the hospital trip---I had a huge suitcase of baby clothes and "just-in-case" bows both times. I have 1 of each: Brady (2.5) and Kenley (6 weeks) and I can tell you that either way you will be truly amazed with God's blessing. Once again, best surprise ever.
PS. I was/am a vacuum freak too, and both of my kids sleep soundly through it now. :)
You're almost there!!! Soon you'll be holding sweet mini-martin {or not so mini} in your arms! P.S.-I vote for the skull and crossbones hat if he's a boy! Too cute!!
