Just hang in there baby...

I've had a really rough morning and need to vent somewhere...so I go to the blog. For the past few weeks I sleep maybe 3 hours total in 30 minute increments, i'm so overly emotionally and physically exhausted from no sleep and contractions all day at this point that I can hardly function. Last night my contractions got so bad I ended up staying up all night watching parks and rec. This morning they are even worse... I'm just trying to hold off until my dr's office opens. I would much rather go there than the hospital to be monitored. So all I can say right now is "hang in there baby"...if not only for a few more weeks :(

Cram time..

I am 33 weeks and counting. My sister had another really cute babe yesterday! Seriously, you should see this girl! She is DANG adorable! However, I promised I wouldn't post any pictures until they got a chance too. But just wait until you see this girl. She is GORGEOUS! Anyway, back to the point.. I realized how quick we're going to have a baby and how not prepared I am. Basically I felt like I was talking to my sister just last week and she was like "Ya, i'm 33 weeks".
Last night I could not sleep, my mind was racing. Finally at 3AM I realized something... My name on my SS isn't changed! Maddox will have a birth certificate saying his mom and dad didn't have the same last name! I freaked out! What will our ancestors think of me and Josh and our illegitimate child?! He was conceived close enough to our wedding date that questions could be raised! haha. I need to get that changed ASAP! So after I thought about that then I started putting together my mental list. This is everything I would like to have finished in the next 4 weeks, so I can be all prepared and rest by the time I hit 38 weeks. Am I missing anything?!?

- Write thank you cards for the sweet baby shower I was given
- Change Social Security Name
- Finish Crib Bumpers
- Make/Hang Curtains
- Pack hospital bag
- Wash baby clothes
- Boil bottles/binkies
- Read parenting books so our kid survives living with us!
- Take CPR class (remember I told you i'm in that really paranoid mode? Yup...this is one of the results)
- Find a pediatrician (what do you do after you find them? Call and ask if they will be your baby's doctor?)
- Figure out insurance for the little one (where do I start?!)
- Make a list of people to call/text when the little one arrives
- CUT MY HAIR (I haven't cut it since our wedding....it needs done)
- Organize his room (put together dresser/find places to put all his toys/swings etc)
- Make a birth announcement list
- Make birth announcements ready to send out

I still feel like i'm missing things...but this is the basis list I was able to come up with at 4am today!
I'm so anxious to have him here, but at the same time I have SO MUCH TO DO! I hope it can all be done before he decides to show up! If anyone wants to make a visit to Idaho and sew his crib bedding together or something, i'm totally down with that, just so ya'll know. The offer is out there :)
