ready for baby

I can't believe it's finally here... tomorrow is my official "due date"!
I am feeling very ready, at 40 weeks. Here's another headless belly shot for ya:


We are ready for baby over here!!! I do feel a little more anxious/stressed about this one's arrival mainly because I have two other two babies to get settled before we head to the hospital. My sweet parents have graciously agreed to take care of our boys while we are in the hospital. David and I are so so thankful for this for so many reasons! I can't imagine better hands for them to be in, which will allow me to be very relaxed about their well-being while we are "away". They will be loved, wonderfully fed and cared for, and spoiled like nobody's business. What more could I ask for? I'm more anxious about trying to have everything ready for them and making things as easy on my parents as I can, since taking care of those two crazies for 2+ days is not going to be the easiest feat, that's for sure! Other than that, I feel pretty ready. I have been trying to stay on top of laundry and cleaning the best I can, so that I will have some clean clothes to throw into the hospital bag and a somewhat clean home to return to. Come on, baby! We are SOOO ready to meet you!

Here's what he/she will be wearing home from the hospital:


The pink pants are turned backwards so you could see the ruffles on the hiney. :) I didn't choose anything fancy for the coming home outfits since I can guarantee they won't wear it for more than an hour (if this one falls in the spitting-up footsteps of my other two), and they will likely be covered up most of the time anyway. So, something simple and cute is what I chose. The boy outfit was actually Anderson's when he was a baby. I just always liked the colors, and it's one of the only non-stained newborn outfits I had. I can't wait to find out what has been hiding out in this belly for the last 40 weeks.

We didn't plan on keeping the names a secret, but that's sort of what's happened over the course of the pregnancy. Now, many people do know the names, and if I saw you at the store or something and you asked me, I'd likely tell you. I just haven't posted the names on facebook or this blog, and I won't until the baby has arrived.

Here are the initials, though, in case you're interested:

FMB
EMB

If you want to guess what the baby's name is, and whether you think it's little F or E, I'd love for you to leave me a comment!!! It's so fun to hear what everyone thinks.

Stay tuned... hopefully baby will be makings arrival very, very soon. :)

oooooorrrrrrrrrrrrr not :) i do love your names you have chosen, and i do love those outfits. i'm dying over the pink one, probably because it's the first pink thing you've ever bought for one of your kids.... it REALLY makes me want you to have a girl.


i'm super super excited that you waited to find out- the fact that you already have two boys makes it that much more suspenseful!!! i will be keeping my phone on me day and night and will be expecting a call or a text ;)

based on the outfits i think you are having a girl and i think she will come tomorrow. a due date baby for sure. has to keep with family tradition and have a "2" in the date :) but if you ask me in fifteen minutes, i will say you're having a boy and he will be born on Thursday.

will you just spit that thing out already so we can stop holding our breath!?!

CONGRATS! We were actually in Raleigh the day you had your sweet baby girl and I wanted so badly to stop by and say congrats. But that would be weird because 1) we have never met and 2) it would just be strange. But, I thought of you all and am so excited for you!!!
