Ok so, yesterday I typed up this blog post and decided I would wait and put it out Sunday like I normally do (look at me, being on time and stuff!), but I went to the doctor today and found out that this baby could come, like, now if he wanted. I'm already 3cm dilated and 70% effaced!!!! No wonder I had been feeling so much pressure down there lately! She wanted to do another ultrasound because she said my uterus was measuring about a week small but the ultrasound was fine and Eli is about 6lbs 1ounce at this point. Will he be the biggest baby in the nursery? No, but thank dear Jesus for mom that he won't be 10lbs like his daddy was! He's already taking after his momma! I told my mom and her prediction is that I will have this little man by Monday... holy...geez. That is insane to think about! So prepare yourself world! Little Ater will be making his debut very soon!

Luckily, I did get A LOT of stuff done in Elijah's room this week! My mom got us a shelf and some cardboard letters so we painted those and put them up. And I FINALLY finished Eli's baby blanket!

 Josh also taught me how to swaddle a baby on a teddy bear this week. lol Seems strange that the guy would be teaching the girl, right? Well, he actually works at a pediatric hospital so changing diapers and swaddling babies are things he does on a regular basis! That definitely takes a load off my shoulders! So it looks like he will actually be teaching me a lot...because I just work with old people. lol I mean, diapers are involved, but not like the ones Eli will be using!! ;-)

The best part about everything I accomplished this week = picking out what Elijah will be wearing home from the hospital... We're awesome...We know. 

I also have my hospital bag packed and ready to go! Now all Joshua has to do is remember to grab the camera and we're set!
