I just went pee.

And I already need to go again. Like two minutes later. Ettagirl is pushing on all the important parts to make that happen. She's a pusher and a stretcher. I'm still amazed at how a baby fits in such a small space.

I'm feeling bigger lately and have gained two pounds, according to my last doctor visit. Woohoo! We talked to the doctor about an induction date last week. The earliest we can do it is the 20th, so we're aiming for that day because all around it would work out best for us. We still need to do a tour of the hospital and find out all the rules. I'm taking my iron pills everyday now so hopefully I won't get all lightheaded and off balanced again. I've noticed my legs and ankles swelling a little lately. Especially if I sit a lot during the day or if I'm walking a lot. Luckily it hasn't been a lot of swelling. That grosses me out and makes me nervous about the high blood pressure. But everything has been fine.

We're glad we went ahead and chose the name. It feels better calling her by a name. Savannah has brought me multiple pictures lately and said they are for Etta. I think she's pretty excited. So are we. I can't wait to wash her clothes and look at all of them and imagine her wearing them. Ohhh...We bought her coming home outfit the other day.

Savannah starts preschool on Wednesday. This is going to be a new experience for sure. Just being on a schedule and having to get up and get her to school by 9:30 should be interesting. Once the baby gets here it will be even more interesting.

Carter is taking some vacation time at the end of the month, for a week. We weren't planning on that but his boss said he should take some since his job is so demanding. We were saving it for when Etta was born, but we found out Carter gets 5 days of Paternal Leave, plus whatever we use of his vacation too. Even taking the early vacation, he'll still have a few days when she's born. So, now we just have to cross our fingers that everything goes well with the delivery and after. Two day stay please.

I've got a list of things to get done before she gets here. I'm trying to cross things off slowly. I just have to find the motivation. Right now our room is a disaster because I've been cleaning out our closet and trying to organize paperwork today. Paperwork....it's just everywhere.

I guess I should get back to that.
