33 weeks!

Well, less than 7 weeks left...it feels like it's flying by so fast, but I'm sure the last few weeks will be tough.

I interviewed a couple of pediatricians today and think I found one we'll like. Dr. Jon Betts at Old Harding Pediatrics. The practice comes highly recommended and so did that doctor. We make an appt when discharged from the hospital for 2-3 days afterward. Can't believe I'm gonna be taking my baby to the doctor in less than 2 months!

Mom was in town all last week to help us get stuff in order around the house. She started painting Marlee's room, went shopping with me to look at shelving/storage for her closet and room. I am so glad that she was able to come...and hopefully she will be back again before Marlee arrives to put finishing touches on everything.

Uncle Matt Matt is looking for pictures of things in nature/architecture/etc that look like the letters in Marlee's name to frame to go over her bed. The Centre baby shower/tea is this weekend! Ashley (my sis) will be in town Thursday night. I'm looking forward to the event, and hopefully will get to see lots of old friends. Ashley is coming back to Nashville with me Sunday night and flying out Tuesday. Glad we will have time to spend together before baby time. We are kinda bummed that we won't be able to go to Florida with the parents though. Dave can't get off work, and I'm just a little too far along to travel that far away.

I've made my hospital bags checklist andthe birth plan. Gonna pack my bags next week! (Many recommend to be ready ahead of time. I get to meet another doctor in the practice tomorrow and find out in 2 weeks if Marlee has moved head down...I hope she has! I am really leaning towards natural childbirth also! We have 2 more childbirth classes left. And the pediatrics office offers free newborn classes.

Dave is finishing painting the room this week, and we can move on to steam cleaning the carpet, then installing/setting up the furniture and shelving, and making the curtains for the window and closet.

So excited!!!
